fall has revived me

a few fall pieces & a mini highland park guide

I’ll be honest, I’ve had a few drafts of Browsaholic sitting in Substack for months. Either I’ve stared at them for too long and grown bored, or I’ve hesitated to post because they feel more like recycled trends from social media than things I’ve personally discovered and love. So, I’ve gone through everything with a fine-tooth comb, making sure each piece is handpicked and (hopefully) not something you’ve seen time and time again.

fallin’ 4 fashion

• A few years ago, I watched Home on Apple TV+ and fell in love with a couple from Maine who own Rudy Jude, a sustainable fashion brand with a store on Rose Ave in Venice. I don’t own anything from them yet, but these loose white pillowcase pants are such a fresh take on the boxer short/pant trend. They’d look amazing paired with a knit sweater or a fitted tee. If you want something similar but shorter, check out this version from The Great.

• Speaking of The Great, I have to call out their printed pullover half-zip fleece from this season. Last year, I shared their equestrian fleece, and apparently, it was so popular that they brought it back in a new colorway. Let’s just say, The Great knows their outerwear. Another fleece I’m loving is this navy floral vest—someone please wear one of these while strolling through Central Park with a coffee in tow — now that’s the epitome of cozy fall!

• I’m going to contradict myself here, but I also have to share these fun striped boxer pants. Even though this trend might not stick around forever, Comme Si does luxe, high-quality pieces, and I love all three colorways of these striped pants. Pair any of them with a thick cashmere sweater—10/10!

• Also, mark my words: I’m getting a red sweater this fall or winter. Red has always been my favorite color, and it’s criminal that I don’t already have one in my closet. This oversized cotton one is the perfect color, fit, and price.

highland park mini guide

A couple of weekends ago, Nick and I ventured east to explore Highland Park and the surrounding area. Here’s a quick guide to what we found:

Eat: Fondry for amazing pastries (mostly croissants), Queen St. for oysters, crudo, and drinks at dinner, Barra Santos for light bites & natural wine, and Jeff’s Table for incredible deli sandwiches at lunch.

Coffee: Lumen, Highly Likely, Modu Cafe

Shop: Cookbook Market for gourmet groceries, Sunbeam Vintage for one-of-a-kind furniture and décor (peep my new white wavy serving platter)

Do: Highland Park Bowl, LA’s oldest bowling alley. Would be perfect for a group birthday outing — they have lanes, pool tables, pizza & drinks!
