I started this newsletter exactly one year ago! Yay! I knew I wanted somewhere (not Instagram) to think and write about what I found interesting — favorite designers, favorite magazines, resale, style, taste, the way we shop (and live?), and whatever else I thought was worth noticing.
I remember the first ten people who subscribed and encouraged me right away. They're still here! They haven't unsubscribed! Or actually some did…but… I'm still here too — talking about cardigans, Milanese chic ladies, favorite French brands, and shoes that fall apart on the street. Thank you for reading, replying, telling me you found the dress. But I must say: the best part has been connecting with so many new people through this platform. This newsletter is my favorite thing I do. It really is!
To make this post somewhat symbolic, I put together:
A list of 12 secondhand finds I'd buy right now (one for each month).
A mini year-one recap — some of my favorite comme/neuf posts.
There are new posts coming soon — and a long list of things I still want to write about. If there’s something you’d like to hear more on please tell me. I'd love for year two to be bigger, better, and less chaotic.
Twelve Things I’d Buy Now (if I didn’t have to pay rent):
The Comme/Neuf Year-One Recap
miu miu and Prada edit, and learning that I have two things in common with Mrs. Prada.
The one on Rei Kawakubo. Hm, is it weird that now that I go through the archive I realize I like EVERY post?? I dunno what to link!!
Come on, the Diana Vreeland one was pretty good, too!!
Which one was your favorite by the way??
Love,
Anni
P.S. Thank you again for being here!! And if you want to give comme/neuf a birthday gift...please forward it to a friend who you think might like it. Or better yet, the one who needs a cardigan.
A huge congrats to one year Anni!
Love your letter!!!
