Unsolicited · Unnecessary · Unfiltered

Thoughts literally not one person asked for.

Books, hotels, outfits, bits & bobs, and lots of other purely frivolous purchases all carefully curated and carefully judged.

Good taste and discernment come with a little side-eye.

Junk drawers with a dress code.

Each one is a category of beautiful, unjustifiable things, like the hotel robe you almost stole, the olive oil you'd never let a guest see the price of, and the coat that went to dinner and came back with a story no one can forget.

Each is sorted, ranked and judged with more care than most people give their retirement. You'll find five picks with a catch, a verdict, with no appeals and the lore. Oh the lore.

The Short List

Curated, not required.

The Verdict

Court adjourned. Comments open.

The Lore

Provenance, gossip and fine print.

As seen on the grid.
