I <3 MOM
and Mark ZuckerDADDY
After my Taylor Swift induced manic episode that was documented in last week’s newsletter, we are back to regularly scheduled programming.
The man who practically invented social media is thirst trapping us. Mark Zuckerberg posted a video to his IG account talking about AI while wearing a chain. Some user got inspired by his style and decided to AI MZ into a full frat boy with some facial hair. He responded with a picture of a razor on his IG story insinuating he was thinking about it. He also posted a conversation with Eva Chen, the Director of Fashion partnerships at Instagram, to talk all things AI and chains.
Speaking of daddy Zuck, I set up a printer all by myself. I’m in my dad era. It won’t print in color though so if anyone wants to come over and help me I would really appreciate it.
818, Kendall Jenner’s tequila, and Chamberlain Coffee, Emma Chamberlains Coffee, have teamed up to make an espresso martini kit. It’s $74 and doesn’t even come with the tequila. While the two personalities make for a great duo (and the internet seems to agree), I kinda feel like it was a little bit expected.
Sushi restaurants should really add fries to their menu.
Alex Cooper, of Call Her Daddy, got married. I have to say, the fashion was much better than what I was expecting. She got married in Mexico and it is all documented in Vogue for us. Not be a hater but I feel like they are a little too obsessed with their dogs.
“It looks like she bought her nose on Temu”
Reformation Collection is back. Designed by Laura Vasser from Brock Collection. If you are unfamiliar with Brock Collection, it was a husband and wife duo that designed for a modern day Bridgerton. One of my favorite tops is from their last collection and it is still available. My standouts from this collection are this dress, this top, and this Lanvin inspired dress.
I have decided that Matzah should be a 365 day snack.
Frankie Shop is doing a capsule collection with Moda Operandi coming in early May. I can’t find any info on the internet so you are just going to have to trust me on this one.
TikToker Xandra Pohl was named a 2024 Sports Illustrated Rookie. I think it is smart of SI to tap into the TikTok / IG models to keep them relevant. Waiting for them to feature Charli D’amelio after her scandalous Coachella outfit went viral.
If you are around Friday (May 3rd), I will be at the Elle Perahia trunk show at Veronica Beard deciding what my next jewelry purchase will be. Come with me!
Some unexpected brand collabs I have seen lately:
The kit includes Benefit’s POREfessional line to promote a deep cleaning of your pores with a Scrub Daddy microfiber towel that helps you take off your makeup. I appreciate while this is an out of pocket partnership, it actually makes sense and is useful. I approve.
It’s amazing how many people had to complain about how hard it was to eat Pringles and wear Crocs at the same time before they came out with this. A Crocs boot with a place to put your canister of chips. The marketing lacked on this one because I had to find out through my dad. I give this a generous 6/10.
This is late to me. By like almost a year. It’s a mayo barbecue flavor for those wondering. The color is absolutely disturbing to look at so I didn’t include it. I do really hope that it comes with the toy-sized bottle because that is such a thoughtful detail.
Honorary Mention: Kartell x Barbie
This Barbie’s dream home would be furnished from Design Within Reach. My first thought was that I need a dollhouse for the mini chairs from this collab, but then remembered I live in a studio apartment. It is a dollhouse.
A Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Give your mother some love this year and get her a thoughtful gift. Not a book of hug coupons. Here is a list of gifts for every type of mom so there are no excuses. Also, if you are selfish like me, there may be a few things on here you want to purchase for yourself.
THE POSH MOM: The one who is hard to shop for, has it all, and appreciates the finer things in life.
THE SPORTY MOM: In athleisure for any and all activities, can beat your dad in a race, oh and can’t forget the six pack.
THE TRAVELING MOM: Her instagram feed is envious, speaks another language, has 1K on United, and charms her way into an upgrade.
THE ARTSY MOM: The one who will be attending Frieze next weekend, spends their weekends at the Met, and breaks the New York all black dress code.
THE MOMAGER: The planner, the organizer, the host, the chef, the one who does it all and you just can’t figure out how.
