Sunday Inspiration: Volume 1.18

All of the inspiration, content, and intentions of the week so that you can arrive the aspirational way.

Sentiment of the week: “Never let go of that fiery sadness called desire.” - Patti Smith

Here’s what is currently inspiring us: NYFW in all of its fashion glory, the imminent arrival of fall - and with it, all of the fashion that comes with a cooler climate, performing activities (like showering or driving) in silence, purchasing investment pieces over a plethora of smaller items that will leave your awareness within a few months, the color burgundy, chic laptop cases, drinking warm water and lemon, the quest for the perfect pair of jeans, filling up your cup first, not looking at your phone for the first hour of the day, Alaia’s Spring Ready-to-Wear 2025 collection.

What we are consuming this week:

Podcast: The 10 Essential Items You Need for Fall on Let’s Get Dressed Podcast
