Happy weekend, my dearest most lovely Trash Heads!
There are quite a few new faces here in this corner of the internet, which is wildly exhilarating and incredibly energizing. This is a space built on curiosity, a hint of insouciant chaos, and the intoxicating thrill of finding something unexpectedly perfect in a pile of the often overlooked.
I’m glad you’re here, wandering along the ever winding road to discovery!
This week leans in the opposite direction to that of last week’s dispatch — a colorful, kooky companion to our previous moody minimalist.

In case you missed it…
I could write an essay about how much I loved everything in this drop. If they were all in my size and I had that kind of money, I would have gladly gotten every single item. As it is, I snapped up the rainbow bucket hats (everyone should have at least one bucket hat, they are so cute) and the Ann Taylor silk beaded pink pants. And if you are still thinking of doing a newsletter of just cropped trousers, know at least I would be very excited to see it.
Gorgeous selection, Glenn! I concur with chetta b—I’ve had a few of those dresses over the years and they are superb quality!💕🤘
