The hot question of the week is ‘What is that BAG?!’. I’m here to tell you that it’s the Alex Mill Perfect Weekday Tote* and it’s, well, pretty perfect. Number one, it’s huge, but not unwieldy. I somehow managed to sling a whole week’s worth of luggage in there (for a seven-night trip I packed everything into this tote and my Loeffler Randall Mira Tote*), and have worn it every day on our trip because it easily fits everything we need for a day-long adventure. The colour is doing the heavy lifting here, but I also love that it has shoulder straps, or shorter carry-straps if I want it to feel a little more elevated. I bought it as part of my tote bag research (TWE totes coming next year, fingers crossed!), and although I have tweaks that I’d make personally, I can’t argue that it’s a very, very good tote.
I just love RE/DONE T-shirts. I’ve owned their Hanes 1950s Boxy Tee* for years, and if you’re after that sort of thin, papery, vintage feeling T-shirt, then I’d always point you in their direction. But who knew they did such a good graphic tee collection too? Inspired by Reva’s outfit from my ‘35 Very Stylish Substack Writers On What They Wear When It’s Too Hot To Think’ post, I went on the hunt for a fun graphic T-shirt in more of a baby tee fit and ended up with the RE/DONE Classic Car Malibu Tee*, which was exactly what I was looking for. I’d say they run true to size; I’m wearing a medium here, and the code ANNAEDIT15 gets you 15% off.
My black baby tee search is over!! And the winner is the COS Slim Cotton T-shirt*. It’s 100% cotton and, just as importantly, features an armhole roomy enough to accommodate your arm flesh without cutting in. Plus it’s £25. WIN.
If you fancy seeing me try on things I’ve bought recently (featuring some GEMS and some utterly horrendous buys - I’m still not over how bad that LBD was!), check out this week’s post…
Your style-related smorgasbord for the week:
Lindsay Sword wrote a cracking piece last week - ‘5 Reasons Why Wearing Black Makes Sense in Summer’ - and I was like, wait, is this show about me?!
Not style-related, but ‘You Should Date Your Friends’ by Elin Strong hit me hard. Having a friendship group where most, including me, are still in the ‘small kids’ phase of life means that free time is at an all-time low and social gatherings are minimal. I want to change that!! A friend date always fills my battery. I endeavour to fill my calendar with more.
Kelly AND Reva?! In video format!? What did I do to deserve this? I know Substack is all about the words, but I do love a video drop from time to time, and if you watch in the Substack app (it’s where I do all my newsletter reading, so it doesn’t clog up my inbox), it automatically saves where you got to in the video. A very handy tool if you watched this in three parts, like I did (see above: small kid).
Another Anna Baldwin IG Reel, but this one was the permission I needed to lean into the full shirt tuck:
And finally, a good reminder from Angie if you’re starting to feel like every outfit you put on feels the same. I definitely went overboard with the slightly cropped, elasticated waist, barrel-leg fit. GUILTY!

I love putting these posts together. I keep an ongoing list on my phone that I squirrel away and add to throughout the month, so you’re really getting the good stuff here. Although I mostly write about fashion around these parts, you get something a little more well-rounded in these monthly posts. Still a sprinkling of style, but a decent dose of beauty…
