Notable Purchases, Vol. 11

July 30, 2025 by jessica

I always get a kick of putting together this roundup and seeing how my recent purchases complement one another — especially when it’s nearly all a single color like it was over the past month! It’s not terribly surprising that this month was simple; I was focused on buying a few key basics for our upcoming trip to France.

Boden ‘Olympia’ jersey maxi dress – A black jersey maxi dress is the relaxed, summer version of a classic LBD and I anticipate I’ll wear this quite a bit during our trip. This version stands out due to its flattering, low V-neck (great for those with a smaller chest), fitted waist, and pockets. It runs true to size and the A-line drape offers enough room for hips.

Madewell ‘The Essential Curve’ shoulder bag – This bag is large — and that’s exactly what I wanted. I was looking for a bag that I could fit an umbrella and our DSLR in while sightseeing that wasn’t a mini backpack (even though I love mine). The bag feels like a quality piece and I’m hopeful that it’ll soften over time. The strap is generous enough to wear as a crossbody.

Lands’ End crepe swimsuit – I’ve already talked about this swimsuit and I won’t stop until others buy it. It’s so beautiful and flattering! It has full coverage in the back, the little cut out in front is such a great detail, and the crepe material is so much more unique than your typical swimsuit fabric. I tried it in the brown, too, and didn’t love it quite as much as the black.

East Fork ‘The Kulhad’ in Heron – East Fork added a new color to its core collection! “Heron” is a stunning grey-blue that I just want in all of the forms they offer. I’m starting small, though, and purchased a couple of the Kulhad cups in the new glaze. I figured that since the Kulhad is a limited in run in select glazes, I’d at least get those tucked in my cabinets and add other pieces in the coming years.
