Keely is a very talented artist and fashion icon. She recently started Birthday Girl Shop - making ‘sexy clothes for daily use’. I just got a set of her ‘Dalmation Mushroom Button Down’, deadstock kilt/ Sesame Street skirt and a ‘Big Kiss’ bow/ tie. She hand-paints and sews everything out of her apartment in Los Angeles and I’m so happy we can finally match.

These are my faves 💘 wish most were more size inclusive but 🫠 for now aspirational
Malicious designs on Etsy is great her cirrent wait time is 6 months 🫠 but she has great designs and reasonable prices and will customize it as much as you want I’ve had her make things a little longer or make a dress fit and flare instead of empire etc she’s great

My friend Liz runs Laila, a natural dye company. What started as a hobby and side practice has evolved into a small business offering monthly workshops, a community space, and size inclusive apparel. Dynamically hued scarves and ribbons are for sale year-round, while she offers hand-dyed vintage apparel on a seasonal basis. She frequently collaborates with other small businesses that align with her values, whether its for a limited-run product or a pop-up workshop, and grows most of her materials in her own garden.

Cutest and best sourced collection of vintage designer in the city! They do pop-ups around LES often, but also have a qt website and IG. I got a pair of bleached raw denim 5351 Pour Les Femme jeans that I wear every day from one of their parties and an early 00’s Miu Miu mini skirt that I wore on NYE that I’m obsessed with. It’s ran by some of the hottest LES-ers <3 Shout-out Maya, Nancy, and Jeremie xoxo. I recently figured out that if you say “Heaven I Stay” aloud you get a cute surprise, so say it aloud right now to whoever’s near you :)

Super delicious raw vegan chocolate, my fave chili oil in Bed Stuy, to forever and only drinking wine out of Bar Part time glasses, Kat Chan’s gorgeous Immortal Mushroom book, and Monte Rosa’s amazing hand-painted gingham workwear sets.

The best facemasks ever, I have two. Chiara makes these patchwork quilted masks from deadstock fabric - beautiful, and adjustable for the perfect fit. They remind me of her every time I wear them, which I think is my favorite part. Highly recommend!

Damn, this EP, “Ache of Victory” is so beautiful. Exactly what I needed - soothing, sad, and sweet. I wish it was 4x longer.
