When Your Dog Is A Bigger Pain In The Ass Than Your Newborn

3 days ago | laurelpantin.substack.com | Laurel Pantin |John Jannuzzi

OH MAN JOHN JANNUZZI!!!! One of my actual oldest friends, he was the FIRST buddy I made on the internet and transferred into an IRL friendship, and though we don’t see each other all that often, when we do, it’s like no time has passed. We’ve been pals for, like, fifteen years or something, and we have a way of bumping into each other on, like, THE MOST consequential days of our lives. John was the last friend I saw before having Ellis in a rush crazy c-section, for example.
Here's One Thing You Could Do With Baby Teeth

I’ll use almost anything as an excuse to look at jewelry - I love to browse, I love doing research, I love collecting ideas, following gem dealers on Instagram, I just really love jewelry. I love looking more than I love buying for obvious reasons (ahem…$$$) but when I do invest in something - like, really invest - it needs to be something I can see myself wearing every day.

Ok, so normally this comes out on a Saturday, but this week the snack is coming today. I got some wires crossed with my scheduling and this is what it is. Here’s what else has been going on here:On Monday, I wrote about my experience with touring and applying to preschools and elementary schools for the Your Mom section of this newsletter - if you want to get emails about motherhood and kids and all that, go here and toggle the Your Mom tab ON in your notifications.
How I Get My Curly Hair To Look So Good

1 week ago | laurelpantin.substack.com | Laurel Pantin

Ok, lately I’ve really been embracing my naturally curly hair, and I really do love it so much, but it is SO HIGH MAINTENANCE. I get a zillion and ten questions about it, so I thought I would compile my whole routine here. First of all, Anthony Lillio in LA does my color, and Kate, at Lost Hills cuts my hair. In NYC I used to go to Rachel Bodt for color and Erickson for cuts (they are both AMAZING - Erickson is a curly bob whisperer). My hair is fine, and super duper curly.
What I Learned from Elementary & Preschool Searching

If you’re getting this email and you DO NOT want kid/motherhood stuff, but you DO want Earl Earl and Fancy Mom stuff - go to this tab, and toggle off the “Your Mom” category in your notifications. You should then stop receiving posts about motherhood. Fancy Mom is different - it’s content from and around my mom, who is a “lady of a certain age” - so articles for “ladies of a certain age” or anyone who is curious about bedding or cooking or being hot and fun at a “certain age”.
Saturday Snack: a Perfect Outfit, a Neon Button Down, New Shoes, a Good Bra for Big Boobs to Wear Under a Dress, etc etc etc

What a week we’ve had! Here’s a recap:First, I helped My Fancy Mom pack for her three week trip to Japan. This post is more about packing philosophy than my mom specifically, but it includes the items she loves and wears as a - as she says - “lady of a certain age.”Speaking of moms, I highlighted some good Mother’s Day gifts you can get for yourself, because if we’re being honest here, nobody else is likely to do it for you.
Seeking dimension & friction - a live convo with Amy Smilovic

1 week ago | laurelpantin.substack.com | Laurel Pantin |Amy Smilovic

Ok, I say this every week, but you know - it’s true. This week’s Your Friend, Laurel is excellent. If you’re not already familiar with / Amy Smilovic/ Tibi - well, you’re welcome. As a source of wisdom for personal style and style-ing, it doesn’t get much better than Amy. Her whole philosophy of getting dressed with principles in mind, and a “modifier” (hers is humor) will change the way you think about shopping and getting dressed.
What My Fancy Mom Packed for Japan

2 weeks ago | laurelpantin.substack.com | Laurel Pantin

Ok, so more housekeeping - just like I’m starting a Your Mom sub-substack, I’m starting a Fancy Mom section. I’m going to be sending a lot more missives from Fancy Mom, as well as content targeted towards “ladies of a certain age.” If you want to opt-in for those letters, go to this link, and toggle Fancy Mom “on” in your notifications. My Fancy Mom came to LA this week for basically one day, on a layover to a ONCE IN A LIFETIME trip to Japan.
Mother's Day Gifts To Get Yourself

2 weeks ago | laurelpantin.substack.com | Laurel Pantin

Listen, if you want something done right, sometimes you’ve really got to do it yourself. If you’ve had a little treat on your wishlist for a long time, and Mother’s Day is coming up, you could send a hint…. or you could just get it for yourself. You deserve it. Here’s what’s on my little list:I always love these little Loewe pouches - it’s a great alternative to a clutch, and interesting but casual, and also useful when you’re traveling to stash all your socks and underwear.
Saturday Snack: A Great New Flagship in LA, a Summer Sandal Edit, a Great Body Moisturizer, etc etc etc.
