Retail Therapy 042: Girl Dinners & Founder Shade

This month&#39;s listener questions include my rotation of coffee shop orders, the current state of my panic room, a brand I&#39;ve considered "underrated" lately, ways for a 25-year-old to upgrade their style, whether or not I still think of storylines for Things Girls Do After Graduation, my current Sunday reading list, summer scented candles, the process that goes into putting out an episode of Sunday Scaries, and making a career change that pays less.

With the rise of the Everything Shower, we had no choice but to describe our own ideal versions of them. We also discussed two new aesthetics — Tomato Girl and Europecore — and their viabilities moving forward. And to close things out, we welcomed Sotheby&#39;s Global Head of Fashion and Accessories Cynthia Houlton to discuss Sotheby&#39;s Luxury Week, the rise of Hermes and Chanel bags, a Kim Kardashian-driven bidding war for a Princess Diana necklace, and so much more.

Retail Therapy 039: Everything Showers & Luxury Auctions

About two months ago, I got a text about my dive into the world of vinyl records. It was DJ Piehowski (@djpiehowski), and the ripple effects of that text exchange are still being felt today. Because vinyls have become such a part of my Sundays lately, it only made sense to find out how DJ spends his ideal Sundays. From big breakfasts to Mac Miller to an early evening 18, this is how it&#39;s done.

Retail Therapy 038: New York & Louisville

Last week, we had the absolute pleasure of being invited to host our first live show from Nordstrom’s New York City flagship at 57th & Broadway with special guest and Nordstrom Men’s Fashion Director, Jian DeLeon. With about 130 guests joining us, we sat down to discuss Jian’s career path that lead him to Nordstrom, where he sees the world of men’s fashion heading, trend forecasting, and so much more. For the latter half of the episode, we took attendee-submitted In/Out Lists and broke them down in real-time. We hope you enjoy, and we hope this can be the first of many live episodes in the future!

Mental Health Days, Dos and Don'ts of Pretending To Work Remotely, and How Texas Dives Spends His Sundays

If you&#39;re wondering why it&#39;s been a little bit since you&#39;ve heard from the Retail Therapy team, that&#39;s because Barrett was out of the country — in Hong Kong and Tokyo, to be exact. Taking us through all his travels, Barrett discusses everything from the stores he visited to the general landscape of Tokyo itself. We also dive into some shoe talk in the realms of Jonah Hill&#39;s leather slides, the Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas collaboration, and the recent Aime Leon Dore x New Balance release. And to round things out, we dive into the state of "quiet luxury," Gwyneth Paltrow&#39;s water bottle, and some wishlist items. Like we said in the episode, please please please pencil in May 10th in New York City for an event we&#39;re hosting. More details to follow, but our flights are booked.
