Jalil, that dress is amazing! This is so much what I’m all about:

“The worries and anxieties about time or the uncertainty of the future fade into the background, and all that matters are the feelings that bubble up seeing the clothes. This is what makes the ability to shop in person feel like such a luxury.”

I only shop in person, as I want to support the local businesses in my city. There is nothing like seeing and touching things in person! I do also recognize the privilege of having the time to do this…but then, we always make time for the things that matter. 💕

Here’s to being present, in person, and to wonderful experiences like this one, which seriously sounds absolutely incredible.

Exactly, we should always make time for the times that matter the most to us!

Aw this day was so fun and the Loewe dress is still the best find I can still hear and feel your gasp when you spotted her

I adored this. I, too, am SUCH an addict for an experiential shopping experience and have fond memories of spending hours in a place like Takashimaya (RIP), touching the sleeves, smelling the perfumes, then eating the sushi sandwiches and sipping the green teas. Making it a point to be more present this year as well and taking this gorgeous writing into the new year with me.

I love how special this feels, how discerning you were, how the memories bubble up. So much more than things + acquisition. XX
