This monthly column is Spread the Jelly’s ode to frivolity and the fun of paying attention to what we want.
We spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about our children—and all of the things they need, want, outgrow, and inevitably abandon on the living room floor. But this is not a collection of kitchen playsets or knit jumpers for toddlers. This is for us. Welcome to Sunday Shopping. It’s exactly what it sounds like: a little window-shopping for ourselves. The miscellaneous things we’ve bookmarked, bought, worn, tested, and loved. Because shopping is fun. Getting dressed is fun. Trying a new hair mask, perfume, or moisturizer (just because you want to!) is fun. And pleasure, in all its small and occasionally very boring and functional forms, is important.

Good denim! Under-$200! Madewell does it again. 100% cotton with a rigid feel and perfect wash.
An excellent piece of outerwear zhuzh from ba&sh. Currently 40% off. We're filling in our zip codes and fetching our credit cards at the moment.
A romantic fragrance from The Maker, a brand that began in one of our favorite boutique hotels in upstate New York. An earthy blend of fig and oud.
If your exercise shoe and TRR thrifted ballet flats had a baby, it would be this perfect shoe from COS. The bordeaux color speaks to us personally but you also can't go wrong with black.
Chic women on the internet own long gloves, and this fleece-lined pair from Vagabond may coax us into enjoying winter.
A signed edition of a 44-page journal, with prompts written by the artist's mother alongside a collection of Mckinney's most iconic work.

The limit does not exist to how many white button-ups one can and should own, and Uniqlo basics are bar none.
Adjusting smudged “waterproof” mascara for the tenth time would feel indescribably more chic if we were using this $12 pocket mirror to do it.
You don’t need a birthday to practice the forced meditation of closing your eyes, making a wish, and blowing out a candle to mark its completion.
The Audacious Legacy of Black Artists and Models in Western Art, by Zaria Ware. About how Black presence has always shaped the Western art canon.
A Doen frock in peach sorbet, made with 100% silk and modeled after the babydoll dresses that everyone wore in the '60s. Delish.
Functional artwork for the nightstand you thrifted. Reminder that The Getty has an incredible gift shop (as does every museum, tbh).
It is winter, and we need glow. An oil from Laouta that's handmade in Greece with almond, apricot, olive, and avocado oils. It smells like vanilla and bergamot.
Every cool girl in NYC has this Fara Homidi duo in their pocket or purse. The top is to prime and condition, the bottom is for a matte swash of color.
A cardigan with structure. An excellent way to feel as if you're out of your pajamas without compromising comfort.
We don't mean to ruffle any feathers because this is a ghost story, but given the Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi of it all, it's fitting to re-read during the month of love and excellent movie marketing.

A new product from Ceremonia to tame flyaways (and postpartum bang fringe), with aloe vera for s-h-i-n-e. "The lip gloss for your hair."
A solid seven hours wrapped in Brooklinen sheets sound like a dream. You can't buy the guaranteed shut-eye but at least you can buy the right bedding, lol.
A sleek oversized tote to dump the contents of your life. In 2026, we aspire to stop relying on tote bags to fit our laptops and miscellaneous chargers.
Currently in a state of salivating over these statement earrings from Tory Burch. 18k-gold plated brass, resin, and crystal.
