It’s all about that high-low mix, you know? Yeah I’m dm-ing European Simmers who don’t want to hang out with me, but on my finger is a $5,000 Mociun cluster ring. It’s called BEING A CONTROVERSIAL AND MYSTERIOUS IT-GIRL WHO GIVES THE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.At this particular moment in time I am not poor, but I am also not rich. Which is why it would pain me to count the ways that I have spent $5,000 and had it NOT end up being a worthwhile investment of my resources. I can say with absolute certainty that everyday I look down at my Mociun cluster ring and think: “Yeah... Well at least THIS was worth it.” And I didn’t even have to sell out any of my friends to The Cut to buy it! On a similar note, Caitlin Mociun sources all of her stones ethically—no blood money or blood diamonds for us, thanks.

Uhhhhh ever heard of it? Listen. Get yourself a cheap-ass roll of satin ribbon on Amazon in whatever color sparks joy for you. I like powder blues and Tiffany blues, and very buttery yellows. Sometimes extremely chunky white yarn. Then the next time you are bringing flowers to someone, which should be the next time you are seeing someone, you just cut a generous bit of ribbon off, ball it up in your pocket, then when you buy the flowers take off all the plastic packaging and rubber bands and tie it with the ribbon. It makes a WORLD of difference. Trust me. Ribbon (or yarn) (or, hell, twine for all I care) is the thoughtful, personal touch that makes a 9.99 bouquet from the bodega look like a $40 arrangement from a florist.

When I finally got on antidepressants and stopped self-medicating my depression with an life-consuming addiction to amphetamines, I bought, like, 200 bottles of perfume. It wasn’t that before I got on proper medication, I couldn’t smell. It was just that when I was in the thick my depression, smelling something lovely just didn’t bring me any joy. It was too slight a pleasure—like listening to rain or baking cakes—to affect me. The only way I was able to afford 200 bottles of perfume was Dossier. They make dupes of iconic scents at price points of $29, $39 and $49. Their candles are great, too! My favorites are the Diptyque Do Son dupe, the Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe, the Love, Don’t Be Shy dupe (it’s Rihanna’s signature scent!) and, since I live in Florida now, I also love the Le Labo Santal 33 dupe because people chase me down the street to ask me what it is. It’s so sweet and heartwarming watching Floridians smell Santal 33 for the first time. But obviously I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing that perfume back in New York. Being seen as an offbeat and eccentric weird is too essential my fragile sense of self.

I almost didn’t want to recommend this one (or make it first on my list!) because I really want to make mobiles “my thing” and I don’t think I’m really “there yet” in terms of my personal brand. But type ‘mobiles’ into Etsy. Go on. It’ll change your fucking LIFE. You can buy all these amazing hanging sculptures from little artists around the world that take up literally zero floor space in your apartment and make you look like a chic Danish curator, just living your best mid-century modern life in Copenhagen with tasteful pops of irreverence and color! I own ten, which some people might say is too many for a studio apartment in the West Village, but some people are wrong.
