Ali , thank you so much for your fashion input. Wednesday is a favourite day of the week from now on ;) Could you please recommend how to stay chic in summer in the city while it’s hot? X

I love your Substack and look forward to new releases every week! Do you mind sharing what size you wear in Toteme tips/jackets. I realize they are meant to fit over size but struggling with how oversized to wear it. I am typically a size 8 but have found that even the Size 6 and/or S is still really big for me.

Thank you so much! I have both small and xsmall in Toteme jackets. I definitely like the oversized look but I agree .. I often feel like the small is too big so I go for XS which works. I also wear a straight leg pant/ slightly flared crop pant with toteme pieces on top and jackets. Or nip the waist with belt or top choice. Even a slimmer shoe can balance the proportions. Hope that helps!

Ali, I enjoy your Substack so much and truly find it practical. Along the lines of finding a formula, could you please do a post on packing for casual city travel? I also just added a couple of Sold Out T-shirts to my wardrobe and I love the quality. Appreciate the rec.

Thanks Ali! Question about the Pheobe bag. Is it large enough to carry the larger size iPad? I’m looking for a sleek crossbody that can accommodate it but isn’t bulky, massive or a tote! Surprisingly this is a hard task!

This bag is definitely lightweight and fits more than you would think! I don't have a large ipad but the site gives dimensions - https://www.phoebephilo.com/en_us/gig-pouch-chocolate-brown-leather

Ali:

What publications do you read for fashion? Your substack is full of ideas pictures and content I love it. However, I wanted to subscribe to a newspaper and or magazine for fashion. I am trying to stay off internet and want to go "old school." I will always read your substack because it is amazing!

Thank You

Thanks for the personal styling session:). I live in Minneapolis and we don't have many places to try and buy Toteme so hard to know how to order (Especially final sale on Matches!). I love the army jacket and it is 40% off but in my experiences I find their sizing is hard to predict. I am normally a large 6/small 8 in brands and feel a little nervous ordering size 4.. even from Toteme. Appreciate the input!
