Hi, is that really you plugging the serum? I mean, that is great if they pay you to do that, but do you really use it? And love it? It is super $$$. I love your choices of what is cool/wearable/relevant from the runway. I’m deeply inspired how to dress myself (especially with what I already have in my closet)

Totally respect your right to run ads but I did not love how that ad was in the middle of the list and not identified in context as an ad. Feels disingenuous and jarring.

I appreciate your feedback! Will incorporate it if BR does more ad integrations.

I’m sorry if I sounded harsh. I do love your newsletter. I just think these days we’re all a bit wary of being sold to surreptitiously.

Yes, it's me! It's my first-ever ad integration and I was excited to have the opportunity to do it.

I agree that a lot of these trends feel like stuff many people already own... I wonder if that might be why the luxury sales are slowing (except for Miu Miu, which has unique trend power).

For actresses that would look good in some variation of the Skant, I nominate Letitia Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Hall, or Rebecca Fergusson

Agreed on the fuck it jacket! Very wearable. Also love the wired clothes look, but not sure how applicable it would be to my everyday life.

The “fuck it” jacket is de rigueur for the Pacific Northwest now thru April, regardless of occasion. In fact, that phrase sums up our entire style ethos.

Wow...absolutely nothing I want to wear in these trends...except maybe the long loose shirts, but that's just kind of a thing all the time. (IMHO.)

Apparently my style is trendy now. I tick 6 out of those 8 boxes….for 30+ years.

Are you now getting paid for Articles by brands? Like Eigth Day?

Eighth Day paid for the interstitial content and banner integration -- the entire article was created independently by me with no input from them. I don't know if there will be more partnerships!
