I have always had a thirst for discovery—finding unique, interesting things that not everyone has—whether that is a handbag designer that’s still under the radar, a perfume no one else knows about, or something special for my dinner table. In the spirit of that, Pinned & Noted is a column where I will share the new-to-me discoveries, books I’ve pre-ordered, and (hopefully) under-the-radar gems. You can view the first three here, here, here, and here.
Pinned & Noted, Vol.5
Ooh, the finds are strong this month. First of all, books! Two pre-orders I’ve been eagerly awaiting are on their way to me. L.A. Women by Ella Berman, and Mean Moms, by Emma Rosenblum. Both made my summer reading list; I am excited to read them. Meanwhile, I also ordered Amy Odell’s Gwyneth bio; I look forward to receiving it at the end of the month.
On the jewelry front, I’ve been obsessing over all things Ariel Ratner. I finally got to see the diamond uni drops in person at Julia Berolzheimer’s trunk show last month. While the diamond drops were just a bit out of my price range (lol), I commissioned her to make me a pair in green tourmaline. They arrived last week and I am in love. The blue spinel is also a dream! I also love these resin shell pendants from Aurelia Damark, and this Dorsey set (necklace + bracelet) reminds me so much of one my grandmother had.
On the beauty front, this blush from Soshe is SO NICE. They’ve just given us a code (GRACE15), so use that! I apply it with my fingers or their brush. And I’m really into HigherDose’s new body sculptor tool. It feels fantastic, helping with lymphatic drainage and soreness, while also firming the skin.
PS – An absolutely perfect t-shirt (love the fabric and trim), the bag I’m dreaming about for fall . . . and how cool are these shoes!? Love.
