Duvet


I like my tangerine duvet from Unison so much I would consider buying it again. On sale for $76.80 (from $128) plus shipping on the Design Public outlet site because the box was opened. There are pillowcases (were $24, now $14.40), too.

African Prints




Beautiful colorful African prints (dark and light ones are for specific mourning or celebratory purposes, but colorful ones are for general use, I've been told by a reliable source), the latter two made through (ostensibly at least somewhat equitable) trans-Atlantic collaborations. Trapeze dress by LBD workshop $160 from Vagabond; stunning Suno skirt made in Kenya on sale for $119 at Opening Ceremony with code ADDITIONAL20 through Labor Day (was $495 -- other amazing Suno made slightly more affordable on sale through their online store and at Opening Ceremony); and Ghanaian wax print cotton tunic/dress designed by Osei-Duro and made in Ghana by the Dzidefo Women’s Cooperative, on sale for $78 (was $130) from Pour Porter.

Creatures of Comfort



Amazing retailer Creatures of Comfort's own line of silk and linen basics are now up to 75% off. While it's the last of the summer sale, some of these pieces could be good layers for school/work, like this pebbled silk t-shirt for $63.75 (was $255, also available as a tank top in black for $47.50, down from $190). I also like this post-work silk low back dress for $83.75 (was $335, also in "papaya").

Bird Warehouse Sale


For those who can go to the Bird warehouse sale in Brooklyn, I envy you. For the rest of us, it seems like they have some of it online. I like this Tsumori Chisato t-shirt for $89 (was $356), and these Suno x Loeffler Randall sandals for $109 (were $460). There are some nice non-crazy patterned things on sale (here and here, for example) too.

Unrequited Oxfords Love




I keep gravitating toward oxfords, but they never seem to work with my wardrobe or look good on my feet. I still want them though. From above, Woman by Common Projects red slip-on oxford on sale at Creatures of Comfort for $134.70 (were $449, but only size 41 left); new A Detacher size 9 black wedge oxfords currently on eBay for $50 with 1 bid and 1 day, 15 hours left (were originally $380); and red 1940s style red heeled oxfords by Swedish Hasbeens, on sale at Yoox for $149 (originally $300+).
