A Summer Vacation Packing List...

1 week ago | 5thingsyoushouldbuy.substack.com | Becky Malinsky

Sometimes I get obsessed with a photo. Remember this letter? And I then stare at it. And I come back to it. Over. And Over. And it becomes the launchpad of a maniacal list of ideas in iPhone Notes (some not so good…some newsletter worthy!) Today is one of those days. This picture of Harrison Ford at Hotel du Cap - aka the crown jewel of the French Rivera - in the 1980s is just too delicious.

Nothing A Little Green Bag Can't Fix

3 weeks ago | 5thingsyoushouldbuy.substack.com | Becky Malinsky

Thank you to Tory Burch for sponsoring today’s send! All thoughts and outfit ideas, my own. We’ve discussed the power of the off thing many times in this newsletter. We’ve added an anchovy. We’ve discussed the fun little bags for in your bags. We’ve winterized summer clothes and put socks with sandals. And many times, you’ve seen me carrying a little randomgreenpouch. It’s the bag that I just can’t quit.
Till Death (in Venice) Do Us Part

1 month ago | 5thingsyoushouldbuy.substack.com | Becky Malinsky

Did you hear that Jeff Bezos is getting married in Venice in late June? I wonder what made him pick this wildly crowded tourist destination at the height of summer vacation? Maybe they (he and Ms. Sanchez of course) are feeling dramatic like all of fashion at the moment. There is opulence in the air everywhere from Valentino to Mango and the mood is positively…Venetian.
Give It A Little Muscle...Tank

1 month ago | 5thingsyoushouldbuy.substack.com | Becky Malinsky

My t-shirt drawer is going unopened. Actually, scratch that. It’s getting opened, every one in the stack tried on, thrown on the chair and then drawer slammed closed while I head for the tanks that live one drawer above. I used to be the queen of the t-shirt + fun pant. What is happening!? It took me a minute, to sit with this feeling of non-stellar-outfit-dom, but I figured it out. And it turns out, my cooling on t-shirts is actually about pants.
Ask a Stylist: the return of the knee-length skirt — and how to wear it

2 months ago | ft.com | Becky Malinsky

I have been seeing a lot of knee-length skirts in shops and on social media. Are they back in style? Do I need to take out my heels again?
Adulting in Capri Pants

2 months ago | 5thingsyoushouldbuy.substack.com | Becky Malinsky

I finally watched A Complete Unknown this past week. The best part of the movie, obviously, was the clothes. Monica Barbaro (who played Joan Baez) looked so freaking amazing in pedal pushers at one point. I yearn to be someone who can wear them! But alas, I just don’t have the hip width to leg length ratio to make it work.
Venmo Me! Mother's Day the Modern Way

2 months ago | 5thingsyoushouldbuy.substack.com | Becky Malinsky

A month ago, I jokingly shared with two friends the story of how I picked up my diamond wedding band on the way to the airport for the wedding weekend and proceeded to text my future husband the amount he owed me. They were not surprised. And though we were laughing, one replied by sharing that she recently told her husband to Venmo her for her birthday gift. And honestly, I did the same thing again for those Chanel flats during the holidays.
Happy Feet

If Chloe Sevigny says it’s cool, it’s cool. Sorry, I don’t make the rules!! So when her Ecco shoe collab came out recently I was intrigued. But then again, it doesn’t take a lot for me to get behind a comfortable shoe trend. And this was actually the second time a “comfort shoe” piqued my interest in the past month. When friend of Five Things Marieva M.
That 70s Show

2 months ago | 5thingsyoushouldbuy.substack.com | Becky Malinsky

Thank you to Me+Em for sponsoring today’s send! All thoughts and outfit ideas, my own. Uff! What a week. Welcome back to Five Things, a place for you to enjoy your Sunday morning coffee stress free, for a few minutes at least. Giving you a glimpse into my brain this week, of how a story comes together. Because we got to our theme in a roundabout way. For a while I have been ruminating on how to wear khaki in a way that feels both modern, whatever that means, and grown up.
