The LWSF Holiday Hotline

consider me your personal holiday style hotline — here to help with everything from party outfits to last-minute gift picks!

Dec 17, 2024

Hey friends,

How was your weekend? Mine was really fun and action-packed but also exhausting. We hosted a small holiday gathering for our closest friends on Friday evening, went to our pup’s daycare holiday pawty on Saturday, and shopped for gifts and did some Hanukkah things on Sunday. Oh, and we wrapped everything up with the Sabrina Carpenter holiday special on Netflix (it’s delightful!) Who else holidayed as hard as we did?

Levi will pose with a fake reindeer but not with Santa (I think he knows...)

The mini hasselback potatoes with crème fraîche and caviar were a big hit at our holiday party. We also made meatballs, and I attempted a whipped butter tower (not bad but could be better next time.) Fillmore bakeshop delivered on the mini croquembouche of my dreams. Not pictured: jelly doughnuts and hot toddies consumed after latkes and matzo ball soup.

A quick update on Styling S.O.S. — what started as a series tackling everyday style challenges (see first and second installments), is evolving into a monthly “hotline” exclusively for paid subscribers starting in January. Think of it as having 1:1 access to a personal stylist/shopping concierge once a month. But don’t fret — style-focused content and the real group chat will continue to be available to all members of our community. For this letter, ~~paid~~ all members* can drop their styling questions and product recommendation requests in the comments, and I’ll share my answers by week’s end.

As our community continues to grow, I’m focusing on enriching the paid subscriber experience while ensuring everyone finds value in our content. Paid subscriptions and brand partnerships help keep the wheels on the bus and support the work that goes into this newsletter every week.

Milestone alert: Last Tuesday (12.12), we crossed 1,000 subscribers — just shy of the newsletter’s 6-month anniversary! Thank you for letting me pop into your inbox each week. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly, and I promise to continue to make every newsletter worth opening.

Now, let’s tackle your holiday style and gifting questions! Need help deciding what to wear to this week’s festivities? Looking for last-minute gift ideas for those tricky-to-shop-for people on your list? Ask away in the comments.

xx Angela
