Vol 148: Color your own tablecloth, Uni body serum, a longhorn decanter + 4 more recommendations
1. Valentino Fireflies Spring/Summer 2026
Thought the new Valentino Spring/Summer 2026 campaign images were really beautiful with the frescoed background and dramatic sequined gowns.
2. Pink Chicken Girls Blossom Sweater
Adorable little girls embroidered floral sweater.
3. Uni 24-Hour Body Serum
I’ve been using this Uni body serum post-shower on days that I’m in a rush and I’ve been really enjoying it. It’s a lighter feel with no greasiness, so it’s perfect on warmer days or times I immediately have to get dressed afterwards. There’s a very nice, subtle cedar-y scent that’s not overpowering at all, which I appreciate.
4. Larroude Verona Crochet Flats
Eyeing these caramel and ivory striped crochet flats for spring. An easy neutral without being too boring.
5. Happy Spring Color Your Own Tablecloth
My 3 year old, the king of all holidays, requested a color your own tablecloth for Easter after I’d purchased one for Valentine’s and man oh man has it been a hit. The best $3 I’ve spent all month. Can’t say it’s the most elevated dining experience eating off a plastic tablecloth prone to bunching, but it’s been a very fun thing to have around the house.
6. Tara Donovan’s Stratagems
Finally saw Tara Donovan’s Stratagems show at the Transamerica Pyramid Center, on view in San Francisco until the end of July. It’s been years since I’ve seen her works, but this one was comprised all from recycled cd’s, which was quite cool, especially when they caught the light. It’s free to the public and in such an iconic SF building - go check it out!
7. Jan Barboglio Nueces Longhorn Decanter
The ultimate gift for a Texas Longhorn fan!
