The May Specials

10 things

Each month I send out a list of the month’s Specials, or 10 things I’m reading, watching, thinking about, listening to, etc. As a reminder, upgrading your subscription gives you access to all À La Carte newsletters (including my themed shopping round ups, essays, and mood boards,) paid subscriber-only perks, the full archive of newsletters, and my love and devotion, because your support means a lot!

This month’s Specials:

1. Earlier this month I watched Matilda Goad’s home tour for The Sunday Times, then a few days later stumbled on Alice & Olivia founder Stacey Bendet’s home tour on TikTok. I love that both their homes feel like their namesake brands come to life, not in a cheesy way, but in a way that displays the world of inspiration behind what they each create. Stacey’s house is insane and I love it.

2. Dôen launched their beloved Sebastiane Skirt in prints for the first time last week! If you’ve been around a while you may remember how obsessed I was with tracking down the white one after the first release sold out…Since then I’ve added one in black and the new stripe version to my growing collection.

   

3. I just got Apartamento’s new book The Italian Interiors of Elsa Peretti, which was published in collaboration with the Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation and features the photography of Estelle Hanania. It’s gorgeous—chock full of inspiration—and gives us a really special peek into the homes of one of my all-time favorite designers. The tile! The tableware! The murals! I love it all.
