An aggregate search for vintage clothes. Pulls from Ebay, Etsy, Real Real, Poshmark, Grailed, possibly others, but i see those the most frequently. All through one search, one website (there's an app as well). The filters work well and you can set alerts. It's amazing.

Most of my shopping recommendations end up in my newsletter, but I feel like it'd be cheap of me not to share at least one thing here. This is actually a biggie, at least for my own online transactional practices, and I haven't written about it anywhere yet. Basically, this app funnels the results from all the resale sites (eBay, Etsy, Vestiaire, Grailed, The RealReal, etc.) onto one platform, so you don't need to comb them individually for your saved searches/designers. I just bought a barely worn Dilara corset for $300, and I've previously found Pleats Please pants for $100 and an '00s Chanel suede halter for $700. The interface is so straightforward and un-noisy, just an ad-free infinite scroll of results that actually match the query.

my top sites for secondhand shopping!!! i am truly obsessed with them, it is like hunting for treasure. i also like browsing depop, etsy, and vestiare, though i only have a handful of items from those in my wardrobe. i hear good things about vinted and medium things about grailed but i havent spent any time w those. i dont really use poshmark but it is massive. also check out the app called gem, it will check all these sites and more to find any keywords that you enter and email you a list of new items matching your query!

>80% of the clothes I wear are second hand, bought on eBay, Grailed and Americana Pipedream. eBay has everything you could want, and much better seller/buyer protections than Grailed. Grailed is tolerable for me since the owners sold out hard and made questionable changes, yet I still browse the feed almost every other day and regularly find great deals on vintage CDG and Margiela, as well as workwear. Americana Pipedream has to be my favorite place to shop right now. Local to me, owned by cool people with a massive following on social media, selling cool vintage military surplus stuff. Click that link and get you some!

Some music journalists put together a list of 1001 albums to hear before you die, they've revised it a few times in the decades since it came out. Someone made a website that randomly generates a new album from that list every day (you can google the list to get a little taste). You can set up a group and the people in it all get generated the same album. I have a small group of friends who have become very dedicated to the practice. It's nice to have just a little pressure to finally sit down and listen to some of the all time classics. It's really great when it's a day that's an album you already love. And it's an interesting mental exercise to listen to an album that you really don't like (somehow this doesnt seem to have effected my spotify algo too much) Whenever we're together we end up discussing the most recent ones. It's been a nice addition to my life individually, and i was pleasantly surprised to see how often we end up talking about them when we're together.

Ended up in London a few times in recent years!
The Photographer's Gallery almost always has something worth checking out if you like photography.
There's new Albert Oehlen paintings up at Gagosian if you like abstract art.
"The Time is Always now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure" at the National Portrait Gallery sounds amazing and features some of my favorites: Kerry James Marshall, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Jennifer Packer, Njideka Akunyili Crosby.
St. John has become a favorite of late, but only for meat eaters! Very weird meat forward (last time had a delicious smoked eel) the staff is lovely, it's elevated, but still casual.
Bar Termini is a cute little cocktail bar I stumbled upon last time.
