Hi and happy Friday!
I’m sure you noted the missing newsletter last Friday but never fear it will be coming Sunday! Slightly delayed but no less fabulous. Things have been nuts around here as in the last week I traveled to rural Canada for a friend’s wedding, had a soft opening of the shop with friends and fam, my mom had surgery, and now the grand opening of the store is TOMORROW!
Hark! The poster!
Just FYI, if you repost this and tag me in the story, you’ll be entered to win a $50 gift card to the store! So anything that catches your eye in story sales, weekly drops, or this very special store opening drop that is coming soon - you’ll have a little token of my appreciation to chip away at the cost.
But enough about me and the culmination of a long-held dream finally come to life. Let’s talk instead about…me! And my favorite search terms! (lololol)
I have a growing list of 103 search terms that I use when sourcing for these newsletters. Some are one-off brands that I found one piece I loved and keep hoping to strike gold twice, some are hit-and-misses-but-often-hits, and some are consistent, absolute, bangers. I’m sharing five of the bangers today!
I’ll be sharing a small bit of history of each designer, what they have to offer stylistically, and then a small helping of pieces to shop. I love this newsletter! It took me a while to write and I really enjoy sharing my earned knowledge so others can search successfully, too.
Happy shopping!

are obsessed with (see her latest newsletter here - vintage kismet!).What: A sourcer’s dream! Incredibly well-made, tailored, chic clothes that are timeless. You can find casual separates for everyday, special silk cocktail dresses, or that one little piece to give your wardrobe a touch of oomph.
