What I Actually Bought #114
Founder of Crown Affair totes Coco Cocoon, The Olympian wears (Issey Miyake) Plissé, and Mommy & Me Chopova Lowena fleeces
Food Fashion for thought: Is Zara becoming a reliable barometer of trend saturation? When everyone and their mother (ours included, sorry @mom) is clicking add to cart on the funnel-neck suede effect (lol) Zara jacket for fall, is it time to: 1) short the trend; go long on ITX, 2) momentum-buy the viral jacket, 3) raid your chic aunt’s closet for funnel-neck relics circa 2005, or 4) scoop the look secondhand on TRR. Cast your ballot folks.
New on the app: More Items Like This. This feature on Selleb might be the only tool we need this fall.
What We Actually Did
Left-to right, top-to-bottom: Selleb totes in the wild cont., Whole Foods just switched to automatic email receipts (bc of Selleb ofc 🙈), latest floral rotations in our apartment, soft on the outside; softer on the inside, double finger ring double the fun, Rick Owens fall, Claire’s fall frittata, fit check feat. Claire’s newest obsession, Apartment 387 got Via Carota to run a pop-up bar at their launch party in Greenwich Village 😮💨

What You Actually Bought
@diannacohen (founder of Crown Affair, behind ) / Chanel Cocoon Tote (similar here here and here): "I spend way too much time on The RealReal hunting for pieces I dreamed of in the aughts—bonus points when they’re in Crown Affair green. This one stopped me in my tracks: the Small Coco Cocoon Tote from Karl’s 2011 collection. (That black-and-white campaign with Lily Allen?!) Spotted it thanks to a saved search I’ve had running for years—”Chanel green.” The secret to The RealReal is all in your saved search game. Check it daily. The gems will find you!”
@enzo_lefort (Olympic French fencer, behind Le Rebond podcast) / Issey Miyake Homme Plissé Jacket (similar here and here): “I’ve been wanting to buy this black Homme Plissé jacket for a while now. A basic, timeless piece that you don’t have to think twice about, as it goes so well with everything. But for years, whenever I found it in a store, they didn’t carry my size, even in Japan. When I saw it was in stock in the Hong Kong store, I didn’t hesitate for a single moment to buy it. Since I got it, I wear it almost every day.”
@gadzucks (music supervision @vice, behind viral Twitter account trash jones) / Closca Black Helmet: “Humbling to look over my recent purchases… but I stand by this one! Biking is one of the best ways to get around New York when the weather’s good, but I’m terrified of biking without a helmet (between my questionable luck and my bad coordination, in my mind there’s a high probability I get pancaked by a garbage truck at some point). Bought this collapsible helmet that fits in my tote bag so I can join my braver biking friends without hauling around a big-ass helmet all day.”
@raquelmedinacleghorn (co-Founder and aesthetician @ Raquel New York) / Chopova Lowena matching fleeces (similar here here and here): “I bought a really cute Chopova Lowena fleece for my baby and when he was finally big enough to wear it we posted a pic. A friend replied that she has the same one - I didn’t know it came in adult size! So naturally I immediately searched the web and found one on eBay in Japan. I never thought I’d be a mommy and me dresser but here we are and I’m thrilled.”
@alicebetts_ (freelance PR, writer, personal stylist, behind ) / Miu Miu Reflective Sunglasses: “I fell in love with these shades ever since I saw them on the runway! I think the sporty vibe is so cool and I love that the lenses are mirrored and a little bit pink. I feel like not many people have these Miu Miu shades either so I wanted to invest in them since they feel a bit special and rare. I always try to find and buy my favourite designer pieces second hand instead of buying things new so it was worth the wait to find these on Vestiaire.”
