Hi Helena! I really like your new format on Substack. On the topic of CBD...I take one 20mg gummy every evening to help with staying asleep. Haven’t tried those with THC. How much of a difference?

Ok, I did a major denim purge earlier this summer. Then again just yesterday. I was never into skinny jeans or ripped denim - i just liked options! but I went from 60+ (I know, I know) to about 30. I have a nice tight edit of 1/2 straight (Levi’s and CoH) and 1/2 flared and wide leg. I have kept one pair of super wide leg/lowish rise at least 16 years. Just bc I loved them. Wore recently and must have been asked 10 times where I got them. (Nordstrom 2007 was my answer.)

What’s the oldest thing in your wardrobe??

Perhaps this ages me a bit, but I have a beautiful Donna Karan blazer circa 1997 that I bought - borrowed money from my mom! It’s still in rotation and still fabulous.

Hi Francine,

I find that with straight CBD (which I'm also a big fan of), it helps to mellow me out, relieve a smidge of anxiety if I'm on edge or help me sleep. The addition of THC makes me feel a little peppier? It's hard to explain, but it's a nice little addition. I usually opt for 1/2, but I've had friends describe that a full one feels like having 2 glasses of wine, which is a solid description. Also contributes to great sleep.

Would love to see a photo of these Nordstrom 2007 jeans. I love hearing about the older items that are still fabulous. For mine, a vintage Chanel clutch that I bought in 1999 via eBay. It's 100% Authentic and I paid around $500. This one

1980 Manolo blahnik black round toe pumps w a tiny knot. Like a low chunky kitten heel. Got same pair in white for (1st...) wedding 1983(?) & (eek) dyed them forest green like the color of those fancy wooden swing sets in the 1990’s.
