excuses as to why I’ve been mia & my love for my water filter. p.s. lots of good vintage in the links. spoiler: there's a lot of Gucci by Tom Ford & Gaultier. maybee some Galliano?
Hello hi! It is me once again asking for your forgiveness on my tardiness. I know I always say life has been life-ing but it sure has been since we’ve last spoken(?). Anyways! Busy season caught up to me and I needed to rest & anytime I wanted to write a newsletter by the time I got around to it, it felt irrelevant or I simply wasn’t interested anymore/was being too hard on myself blah blah blah but at the end of the day this IS! Natalie’s B.S. so why not ramble? Excuses excuses I know! New beginnings my friends. Happy new year! 🤍
Speaking of, here is my in’s & out’s list for the year. (I have many mixed feelings about these lists depending on what hour of the past week it has been so I’m just gonna post this and keep it moving before I change my mind!!) Sorry not sorry.
We all know the notes app is where the good stuff is. Also if you’re nosey like me & overanalyze screenshots you will see I am listening to healing frequencies that you should absolutely get into as well.
Things I’m Into These Days
My Dyson humidifier/purifier. I’ve had it for 2 years now and I always forget how much I love it until it’s actually winter & nyc radiators try to take your life in your sleep. I have the white I wish I would’ve gotten the dark one. This is not like your typical humidifier because it’s not a mist. It’s basically just a fan. How it works I do not know but I will not question it. Easy to clean (big one for me bc most humidifiers are so disgusting) and it lets you know when it’s time to clean. Also purifies the air. The only downside to it is that it’s a little bulkier than most small humidifiers and not as slim as the other Dyson fans but it really does help in the winter. If I sleep without it my nose and throat are so dry.
New (to me) Our Place Always Pan!!!! Where has this been!? I know I’m late but was skeptical because it seemed like such an instagram brand but this thing is legit & at a great price point for a good pan. You can obviously use it as a non stick pan but it’s deep enough to fry & boil some stuff. You can also steam! And it comes with a spoon.
The movies! Thank god the strike is over and we have movies again! I’m a regal unlimited member 💅 (great deal btw) and in the past two months I’ve been at the theater once a week. Nothing like watching a movie by yourself. Also I watched Poor Things twice so I highly recommend.
These beauty drops & moisturizer by Future Cosmetics. Recommended by the angel esty Cali Strauhs. Yes they are not cheap but! A little goes a veryyyy long way. They’re very rich. Not just saying that. Promise. My skin is usually really dry in the winter but I swear these two have saved me specifically the beauty drops. They’re kinda strange not gonna lie because it’s liquid and the applicator is funny but it honestly helps to not overuse product. It also smells kinda sugary? Anyways great stuff.
At home I’ve been watching You Are What You Eat on Netflix.
Drinking sleepy time tea in my Zoe Dering mugs. I have a couple of different colors but this design is my favorite shape. Here are some smaller cute ones as well that are available. If I buy anymore mugs I will officially become a mug collector so please do me the honors :) I love her stuff. It’s all handmade and each piece is 1 of 1. (I think) Gorgeous vases and plates too. I am sorry that I am linking $70 mugs.
I was reading Men by Raven Smith. Highly recommend if you want an easy & cheeky read that’s wildly entertaining. I caught myself laughing out loud many times.
I have repurchased one of my many guilty pleasures: the treehouse byredo candle. Again I am sorry I am linking a $94 candle. I am who I am. To my defense it is very strong and lasts forever because you don’t need to burn for long periods of time. Also it’s pretty and smells even while not burning.
I’m already giggling while typing this one because it’s at reflection on where I’m at in life right now. MY WATER FILTER. Another home purchase I’ve rediscovered my obsession for. I was in Jersey over Christmas and someone gave me tap water that tasted like a freaking lake and it made me miss my WALTER <3 The Walter system is basically a very cute and much nicer (imo) version of the infamous Berkey. It uses the same filter on the inside which we love. I have a white one. I wish they would have had the black when I purchased. They also sell stands for it if you want one. I just have mine on the edge of my countertop. I will let you go in your own deep dark hole of the internet which explains the greatness of the Berkey system. Anyways time to get rid of that weird moldy brita in the fridge babe.
Also into magnesium AGAIN. I forgot how great it is. I alternate between the Wooden Spoon Herbs one & the Moon Juice one mostly for flavor purposes.
Last but not least a bunch of links to things that I have saved on The Real Real or Vestiaire. Please purchase before I do. Also take this as your late gift guide for yourself.
These Missoni scarves:
A dark fringe-y moment. P.S. this is my 12 year old self’s dream scarf.
A bit of a psychedelic color way. Sorry I spent 5 days at my mother’s house.
John Galliano pants. More of a spring/summer color but who can resist a 70% off.
Prada cashmere turtleneck. I love a sleeveless turtleneck also unfortunately a sucker for a Prada sweater.
90s Jean Paul Gaultier black pants. I am a firm believer in getting most of your pants tailored so just keep this in mind while browsing.
90s Jean Paul Gaultier long sleeved brown classic top. Obviously there is a pattern here.
Black Gucci top. Gucci by Tom Ford. Need I say more? Also this is what I consider a going out top that you can dress up or down in the winter or summer! Buy it now. Please. For me.
Blush Gucci skirt. Again Gucci by Tom Ford. Yes it is knee length but I do believe knee length will be having its moment again this upcoming spring. Also it’s on sale & yes I know it’s January.
Jean Paul Gaultier silk pants. I love a wide leg. I love silk. Plus this color! I’m seeing this for dinner in Jamaica on vacation midwinter or just life in nyc when you can wear whatever you want whenever you want :)
Another Gucci Tom Ford era Skirt but this one is black and has a little lace up situation.
Back Prada top that although it seems like a tank it’s wool so a very sexy winter moment. Makes me wish my boobs were much smaller.
More Jean Paul Gaultier silk pants. Again love a wide leg. Love a print.
Christian Dior yellow sweater. I have a similar one that is extremely comfortable. Yellow is not my color but this would be a fab Easter sweater for someone.
CHRISTIAN DIOR BY JOHN GALLIANO TOP. I think this top is sooo cute. But just too small for me. Someone please buy it and love it for me.
More Gucci by Tom Ford. This flowy top is so cute. My mom wore a very similar top to my first communion and I vividly remember it was a hit. Great for summer.
Prada Cashmere T Shirt. You better buy it before I beat you to it. Staple piece imo.
Christian Dior Striped Blazer. I feel funny in a blazer but if I didn’t! I would be all over this. Really nice detail on the arms. Also could be cute if worn as a dress dare I say for my shorter gals. Throw on a heel and some shorts.
Moreeee Gaultier Wide leg pants. Now while they may look like another pair or boring black pants please zoom into the waist :)
Moreeee Gucci by Tom Ford pants. Clearly I’m into pants and Gucci by Tom Ford at the moment like the rest of the world but! These are brown. Soo yeah.
John Galliano Top that makes me wish I had no boobs. Someone pleaseee.
Moreee Gucci by Tom Ford but this time a sweater. I’m a sucker for a nice sweater top sitch.
Miu Miu brown zip up sweater. She looks warmmmm also love this color.
90s John Galliano top. Definitely more of a statement but this is the sort of top that everyone wishes they had in their closet for a specific moment.
Christian Dior by John Galliano 1998!!!!! Top. Again a very specific top but soo cute.
Pink Chanel sunglasses because why not? It is Miami season.
Christian Dior dress. In case you were in the market for a new nightgown/prairie girl vibe of some sort.
Saint Laurent black pants. I know you’re probably like enough with the black pants but these are a good deal for being new.
Gaultier Striped Pantsuit. I really hope no one reading this should end up in court unless you are working but if you happen to! Imagine pulling up in this. Or just having this pantsuit because why not?
Gucci Leather Jacket. Just click. If it fits you better buy it.
Moreee Gucci by Tom Ford but! This time a dress. Everyone needs this sort of classic black dress to show up to a last minute wedding or event of some sort. Easily dressed up or down.
Green Gucci Leather Jacket. If I was able to squeeze more leather jackets into my closet right now it would probably be this one. </3
Christian Dior by John Galliano Leather Skirt. love leather. love a skirt.
Christian Dior by John Galliano SHEARLING TRENCH COAT. Pleaseeeee someone buy this. It’s sooo cute and such a good color.

P.S. if purchasing a handbag & are unsure of its authenticity always pay the extra $15 to authenticate just to be safe.
Prada blue cloth tote. Cute running around bag. Perfect size for summer days.
Loewe silk scarf. Why not
Green & Beige Prada bag. This bag is really cute and I love the colors but some parts of the bag have sign of wear and tear so I would negotiate this down.
Black Prada leather bag. I know the photos aren’t the best but this is a pretty good deal for this bag. As always see if you can negotiate down.
Gucci Jackie cloth bag. I love the Jackie bags right now and this one is a cute more affordable version of what’s in the store at the moment.
Red leather Loewe wallet. Gorge shade of red.
Black mini Prada bag. This bag is soo cutie. So small I love it. Buy it before I do.
Black Louis Vuitton Clutch bag. Good staple to have for an event.
Suede Gucci bag. Love a small bag. Love suede. This is my ideal size bag for going out.
Black leather Prada bag. Such a great bag especially for work. Does have a good amount of wear on it though so I would negotiate down.
Black Prada Satchel. This leather bag is soooo cute it’s kind of ridiculous.
Chanel vanity bag that can also be used as a purse?
One of my favorite prada bags ever. Leather and cloth with an adjustable strap. You can wear super short or as a crossbody.
Loewe black mini bag. This is my ideal running around everyday bag for the summer.
Gucci Hobo bag with classic horsebit. So cute also bigger bags are definitely coming back.
Loewe missy leather bag in beige. I went back and forth on this bag for days but ultimately decided I should be a responsible adult post holiday season :) but it’s very good and has a long strap as well.
White Gucci Horsebit bag. Such a classic bag & if you could get them to go down it would be a great deal.
Loewe missy leather bag in black. Same bag as before but in black.
Loewe loafer mule clog shoe things. So good. I wish these were my size.
