Happy end of the month! April felt a bit slow in terms of usually slow when it comes to content and releases but we got a couple of heaters that kept us going. We’ve also covered some really fun topics that should hopefully get the brain flowing as we move towards summer. Here’s a quick recap of some of my favorite topics I wrote about this month:
What I bought in Japan — Going off at The North Face Purple Label, outerwear bangers from Beams, a new favorite zip hoodie, rare books, and more!
Your work bag doesn’t have to be ugly — Sharing my favorite bags you can buy right now, brands to keep in mind when looking for that perfect option, and more.

GORE-TEX T-SHIRT
Vintage GORE-TEX graphic tees are such a vibe. A friend of mine picked this one up and I just had to share it with you. Wish there were more of them out there, and maybe there are, but we’re definitely going to need to hit the thrift to find them.
LC32 + UMBRO SPECIALI
I loved this one. The swappable velcro tongues was a playful little detail that I enjoyed. You can also remove it all together to reveal that classic trainer look.
PARATODO OSAGE PANT
The perfect summer pant is here! Lightweight seersucker with huge opened pockets that come with additional pockets on the inside. Going to be so much fun to wear this summer. Paratodo really did a number on these. We need more patterns and more stock!!
NORSE PROJECTS + PARABOOT THIERS
Probably my favorite collaboration of the month. Look at that suede!! It’s in the perfect shade of brown. I also love that Norse chose to work with the Thiers model, one of Paraboot’s underrated models in my opinion.
CARNAN + UMBRO
At this point I have lost count at how often Umbro makes it into this Top 10 series. I feel like they have to be one of the best out there right now in terms of online hype. They continue their run with another great collaboration with Brazilian-based brand, Carnan.
ADIDAS KNITS
Track jacket inspired knits from Adidas? Can’t go wrong with that. Definitely a fun little piece that’s unique but in a subtle way—something that makes it much more wearable.
Ok, the Cloud Dancer has been going under the radar. This shoe is incredible though! Two great colors, paired with a thinner midsole for that lightweight feel and look. Really think people are going to regret sleeping on this one in the future. Not entirely sure if dropped already, but I don’t think so. Will report back if I get any more information.
LADY WHITE CO. + REPRODUCTION OF FOUND
Lady White is back with another banger with Reproduction of Found. Their last collaboration has become a daily for me recently, so I’m excited for this one. Brown colorway is unfortunately sold out, but you can still pick up the grey on the Lady White Co. website!
ASICS + STORY MFG
This one took the internet by storm. Even though they are extremely loud, their playfulness and execution makes them work. A great way to have fun with you outfits for those who love having that solid statement shoe.
Paraboot so good. Saw them on your account first.
