Such a great idea!!! As a book alternative, I’d like to suggest my bookstore, www.thirdstreetbooks.com. Small shop in a small town. Woman-owned employing many queer staff and we strive to support other small businesses as well. We don’t do a lot of sales (because margins) but we ship all over!! Xoxo I love the list you supplied and am going to steal this idea with our local shops!

Yay! So glad you shouted it out, I love to support IRL bookstores.

OMG Yes. I'm finally subscribing (which I've been almost doing for months anyway...) literally just to tell you about my friend's f'ing amazing candle company, Cowboy and Cricket Candle Company. They are a fellow ABQ baddie and a smell synesthete. The concoctions they come up with are incredibly evocative, and are based on some kind fun theme- nerd/pop culture/books/television/games etc - and you can also search candles by smell profile. I'm bragging on them because they're my friend but also because I truly love their candles.

For example!

For the tv/film lovers (esp ppl who love horror) https://cowboyandcricket.com/collections/television

For your astrology peeps (I love the sun/moon/rising gift set): https://cowboyandcricket.com/collections/astrology

I’m trying to understand the size chart on the bomber jacket - cause it says “the garments themselves” but doesn’t seem to be lying flat - do yall think it would be all the way around?

Expand full comment

Yes I do think it’s probably just the doubled flat lay! If you have doubts you could probably send an Instagram message, they’re very responsive!

Also thanks so much for this guide!!

omg thank you for sharing about the Naadam sale! I was already eyeing the off duty joggers, but the sweater you shared in green is a style I've been looking for for a good 2 years!

Oh good! I don’t have that style yet but I’ve been eyeing it and I think I saw Bailey Marie-Foret wearing it.

Nice! I’ve been looking for a better quality replacement for my favorite old green H&M sweater and I think this might be the one

my new fave candle company is having 20% off with code wildwood20. These are the best cleanest burning candles I’ve used. Love the Leif Erikson scent: https://wildwoodcandleco.com/

The brand in #7, Connally Goods, is GREAT - I have a tattersall skirt and it may be my favorite skirt ever. Excellent fit, excellent quality of materials and construction, and soooo comfortable!

And whoop, now they’re having 20% off site wide!

A good time to get another pair of those jeans!

Done ✔️

YAY! I have more skirts from Connally on the way too!

I’m so glad you like them, too!! My current favorite pants are their Ulla Jeans. Strongly considering buying another pair since Trump just announced super high tariffs on Canadian goods…

I know Shefit which sells serious sports bras out of Michigan is having sales.They go up to a "6luxe" (as a 42H I'm a "4luxe"). They're pretty good but seriously, don't buy the 'ultimate' unless you plan on jump roping/box jumping. Its like kevlar for your breasts.

Oooh that’s a great rec, thank you!!

Dammit. I almost made it out of this weekend without buying too much…but just took advantage of the Baggu sale. I am excited about my fanny pack. And I got packing cubes for my kids for our England (🤞) trip next year.
