hello lizards
holy mackarel probably my fav selection of picks so far + a few of my recent outfits, my obsession with comoli - yadda yadda yadda.
A quick public service announcement:
Stop playing the “get it how you live it” song.
Stop fit-checking people and giving them the stink eye. If you like what they’re wearing, maybe drop them a compliment ffs.
Stop asking for ID on pants and check the comments to see if someone’s already answered the question first. I can’t keep replying to the same question.
Thank u for ur time. Back to the action.
Personal Pick-Ups
Y’all, I’ve been acting UP lately.
My closet’s going through a massive overhaul, and though my wallet continues to cry hysterically, I am beginning to feel comfortable with my rotation. Took me 30 years, but by golly, we got it done.
For context, I’ve been selling pieces that left me looking like a building model for someone’s architecture class. It was exhausting having people come up to me asking if comic-con is happening and who I’m dressed up as. Bitch, I’m cosplaying as myself - let me LIVE. (shout out jessica nigri)
Anyway, it’s been a wonderful few weeks as I’ve sold a good chunk of my clothes and have absolutely stocked up on Comoli. God was on my side when I found the Wool Knit Jacket on auctions, as it retails for $1.1K and it was sitting on Yahoo Auctions for just over $200CAD. I’ve also picked up a cashmere sweater and a hoodie from their FW24 collection, so we are fully stocking up.
Next, I might be picking up a pair of Countrys from the Adidas x Song For The Mute collab that’s dropping this Friday (November 15th). Both pairs are nice, but I’ll probably end up with the black & white ones. I’ve noticed that the colour in my wardrobe is quickly being depleted, but I just don’t think I’m a colourful wardrobe kind of guy. I’m a crow caw caw u feel me.
And lastly, Emily picked up two bangin’ pieces by Issey Miyake and Zucca from Commune/Smitheeren. The latter is a pair of reworked Dickies (I think it’s this one), while the former is a classic Issey top. If you’re looking to buy a stellar Christmas gift for your partner, and they’re wanting designer womenswear, I recommend perusing through their website as there are several grails just sitting and waiting for a new home.
Pls adopt a new grail today. Cue the Sarah McLachlan song.
Weekly Picks
Alright, lizards. We’ve got another week of picks, and after doing this for a few weeks now, I can say that this is probably my favourite selection yet. Oh, have y’all seen the Martha Stewart documentary? I think I’m gonna add Martha Stewart to the nightmare blunt rotation now - I’m quite scared.

And that’s all I’ve got for you this week, though I’ve got a few more tricks up my sleeve that I’ll save for next week. Also, SSENSE has started their private sale, so definitely take a peek if you’re looking to spend a few shells to spruce up your wardrobe. If you’re unable to see their sale, let me know what you’re looking at and I can see if it’s on sale.
