All of It: Things That Caught My Eye This Week

I’m one week out from my daughter’s bat mitzvah madness, work is completely insane, we’re still renovating, my dog has the saddest cone on his head, and I’ve stopped pretending I have it under control. So this week, I’m doing the only thing that feels sane - sharing the things I can’t stop thinking about in case they give you an inspiration.

If you didn’t get to see my conversation with Abby Arad about our favorite fashion staples, please check it out!

Sending you so much love xx MD

2b. Gianvito Rossi 105MM Suede Stiletto-Heel Pumps - The perfect pump - I have bought every black pump. Nothing is more comfortable and better than this. Love in satin too.

2c. iS Clinical Cleansing Complex - I have such sensitive skin, and this is the only facewash I use. I travel with it and use it every day.

2d. The Frankie Shop Tansy Pleated Trousers - These are the best pants, for travel or work or truly anything. They don’t wrinkle and they are so light and take no space in luggage, and they just hang so well on your body. I have every color of these.

2f. Saint Laurent Le Loafer Suede Loafers - YSL Loafers - these are the most comfortable loafers I have ever worn and I wear them almost every day in multiple colors. Buy them!!

2g. Dehanche Hollyhock Belt - Truly have this in 5 colors and wear all the time.

Marketing moments, collaborations, and brand campaigns that inspired me or made me think.

• I love the use of longer-form storytelling, especially in fashion, with Jacquemus leading the way with bold, cinematic, feel-good content that stands out in a sea of sameness.

• This gorgeous display from Diptyque in Paris is a masterclass in experiential storytelling. It’s just on the nose enough to get the point across, but so grand and creative in scale that it becomes memorable beyond a single moment.

• I’m not sure Saie expected a championship win when they signed on for their Knicks sponsorship - talk about a brilliant and well-timed partnership! The touch points the brand created were brilliant and authentic from the streets of NYC to inside of MSG.

• I love the authenticity and clever spirit of this campaign by Etsy ahead of Prime Day - the brand is encouraging consumers to shop small, offering 5,000 Etsy shops by other Jeff’s as alternatives to Amazon.

Rachel: Phoebe hates Pottery Barn?!

Monica: Yeah, she hates all mass produced stuff. She thinks her furniture should have a history, a story behind it.

Rachel: Well this has a story behind it! I mean they had to ship it all the way from the White Plains store.

Thank you for being here. What’s a campaign that grabbed your attention this week? I’d love to know in the comments below.
