The first day back in the office after a long weekend can be ROUGH. So how about you power through 20 minutes of sustained work (i.e., no IG scrolling) and then reward yourself by scooping up an up-to-70%-off wonder or two from our sale, which, ahem, ends tonight?— claire and erica
Adding something called a chickpea deli salad to the weekday lunch rotation after eating my very first bite.
Falling for not one but two Northern Minnesota houses: this one (which has quite the charming story) and this one (which you can rent!).
Reading every Frances Tiafoe article I come across, starting here and here.
Tuning in for the history of banned country music by women. (Here’s to you, Loretta Lynn.)
Getting my Pride and Prejudice fix...but this time set in Pakistan in the early aughts.
Questioning why the standard bib size even exists when there’s an option to cover your child’s entire body.
Stirring Hozon into almost every sauce I make. (Also eating it off the spoon in between stirs.)
Nominating Dorothy Ashby for your dinnertime soundtrack.
Sitting out The Cookies and The Stew, but going all in for The Fish.
Getting reacquainted with my core (and arms and thighs and butt…) with the help of Revolution Motherhood’s A+ program.
Doing what I can to make life just a bowl—wait, THREE bowls—of cherries.

If you’re itching to meet the duo who turned a denim business into a whole dang work-wife empire, the pair who throws the best dinner parties in all the land, or a twosome who actually invests in women (how rare!), we have podcast episodes for that.

And if you wanna know some of our favorite discoveries from this very newsletter and some that we couldn’t include, we have only slightly off-the-rails eps around those topics, too. — claire and erica
Flagging this: My favorite bookstore now does subscriptions for everything from picture books to adult nonfiction.
Urging anybody who lives in Atlanta, Charlotte, or Raleigh to get tix to this Tim McGraw x Jon Meacham event...and everybody else to check out their new book Songs of America: Patriotism, Protest, & the Music That Made a Nation and to cross their fingers this thing gets the Netflix special it deserves.
Hoping these designified blow-up pools are leveraged for splish-splashing, sure, but also for recreating this iconic Brangelina photoshoot at home.
Ordering a boatload of my favorite José Gourmet tinned fish online. I don’t buy it just for the packaging...but the packaging definitely helps.
Reacquainting myself with Amelia Bedelia—but this time as a rebel against women’s work.
Wondering if it’s okay to add this magic stuff to every baking project? I feel like it couldn’t hurt.
Recommending a new-mom gift for your pal who is too polite to just pilfer all of these items from the hospital room.

Keeping up with all the woo-woo that’s fit to print. (And that’s fit to podcast, too.)
Piling onto all of the glowing praise of Good Talk, which is a GD masterpiece if you ask me.
Realizing that this plus jorts is fast becoming my summer weekend uniform. (I went up a few sizes for a more laid-back lewk.)

What’s gotten us going on the podcast lately? Well! The children’s book author who’s responsible for a movie you’ve seen seven times, a PR twosome that puts sustainability at the center of their work, the badass who’s making graphic memoirs a thing, the utterly lovely woman who got scammed by Anna Delvey, and, of course, SNACKS. Get your fill because we’re going on summer hiatus, but we’ll be back on September 9—before you have a chance to miss us too much.— claire and erica
Whipping up one-bowl, gluten-free banana bread in about six minutes (I mean, not including baking time, obviously).
Keeping the USWNT fandom blasting with the perfect pair of Umbros.
Scoring design inspiration from a kindergarten.
Relishing the story of Nasim Alikhani, who opened her first restaurant at 59—and the spot she created, too!
Not apologizing for using a Gmail plug-in that flags “just,” “sorry,” and other softening words I (and maybe you??) tend to abuse.
Finding great joy in fruit stickers. (And finding great fruit on Etsy, of all places.)
Discovering something called cleancore and, of course, the Tumblr-verse dedicated to it. (Related.)
Serving up something that’s like if elote and seven-layer dip had a baby. Spoiler: It’s everybody’s favorite baby.
Wanting to start my own collection of 1984 Summer Olympics memorabilia...and not just because it’s my birth year!
Feeling a little miffed that nobody ever told me that snack curator was a real job you could have.
Going natural up top.

Shopping our big ol’ summer sale—up to 70% off, WOWOWOW!—is almost as satisfying as eating all of the ice cream you’re going to consume this holiday week. If you need some help putting together a winning cart, feel free to shop the things we own and love below.— claire and erica
Becoming one of those people who wears mocknecks in warmish weather...and feeling no shame about it.
Keeping a store of these in all my bags and, uh, still finding reasons to buy more.
Relying on this thing to bring art-party cool whenever I need it. Easier—and less room for error—than a statement lip, that’s for sure.
Swearing by this four-ingredient oil serum. Oh, and what hard-working ingredients they are!
Throwing this on with a stripey tee on days that require something with a little more oomph than jeans. Provides better Boomeranging opps, too.
Doing a dewy look.
Wondering how many of these I’ve sold to mom friends by preaching about their breastfeeding-friendliness.
Applauding this slip dress for accommodating something most of its peers won’t: a bra.
Sharing some insider info: There’s only one of these left in stock, and I’m seriously thinking about scooping it up for myself.

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but hair accessories are having A MOMENT. And, wow, have we found plenty of reasons to embrace scrunchies, barrettes, and their kin without feeling like we’re reliving our early-nineties picture-day looks. — claire and erica
Listening in on a predictably captivating phone convo between Amy Tan and Celeste Ng.
Gobbling up tomato sandwiches while they’re in season. They’re great with Hellmann’s, but of course, and even better with this non-intimidating, from-scratch mayo.
Cracking up allllll the way through Plus One.
Feeling self-satisfied about having spent the entirety of grade school in Umbros and Sambas—totalsoccer girl.

Not that you asked or anything, but all of our favorite tees right now are by Calder Blake—and henleys and tanks, too. They’re appealingly thin and ribbed, and they have lettuce hems, which are 1) underutilized and 2) the most charming, fortifying-sounding name for a hem possible. — claire and erica
Thanking Misfit Foods co-founder Ann Yang for bringing the mental-health real talk and for not sugarcoating entrepreneurship.
Wishlisting a chic little stool made by a girls’ woodworking club in Marfa.
Thinking about donuts almost as much as Homer Simpson does—the gluten-free, marcona almond ones from Doughnut Plant in NYC specifically.

Eagerly anticipating the arrival of yet another newsletter to my inbox. Such good—and thoughtful—recs!
Falling fast for the lo-fi appeal of this free breathwork app. The audio function is especially useful if you’re walking, commuting, or just putting off getting out of bed.

Wanting to read a whole heck of a lot more about an on-the-rise Hollywood job: intimacy coordinator.
Putting early, not-quite-prime tomatoes to satisfying use.
Knowing absolutely nothing about this spaghetti except that it has excellent packaging.
Hoping that the reboot of The Hills (for which I am unironically but perhaps unjustifiably excited) is half as good as this truly outstanding article about it.
Solving a problem that has been nagging me: how to recycle my contact lenses.
Getting too much credit for making my own blue cheese dip considering the minimal effort involved: equal parts blue cheese and cream cheese, splash of white wine, medium heat, stir ‘til smooth, lick the bowl.
Bossing up bedtime with a very clever reframing.
Finding a jewelry box that truly speaks to me (and, I’m certain, to my earrings).

Flagging this useful guide to watching sports without cable (and without, eh, going to a bar with cable).
Getting comfy on the therapist’s couch that is Lori Gottlieb’s Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. I plane-cried through this one, kids.

Drinking up the hype of Haus. ‘Tis very good and what I want to be sipping on this (steamy) time of year!
Caring more than I’d like to about first-aid aesthetics.
Endorsing Pier 17 for your NYC summer-concert-going needs. I enjoyed it so much, and it doesn’t even have seats—which is saying a whole lot. Janelle Monáe, perhaps?
Throwing corn, shishito peppers, and the makings of a really excellent sauce in a pan for a top-notch, peak-produce dinner (or side, depending on how you feel about a big bowl of vegetables for dinner).
Considering Shark Tank ten years in...as somebody who’s never seen it.
Watching more high-school-themed television as an adult than I ever did in high school. Hello, Trinkets.

Offering up this useful guide to eating meals with me...and apologizing for the fact that you might need a guide.
Wanting all wedding invitations to be die-cut.
Stocking up on cards, as the type of person who regularly stocks up on cards. These and these and these are worth having a stash of, IMO.

Striving for the ambition and fortitude of this cat.
Commending the brilliance—and replicable model!!—of @permanentbakesale as somebody who doesn’t even eat (much) gluten.
Feeling the urge to reach out and touch these plaster paintings by Sara Marlowe Hall.

Rethinking, well, lots of things with the You’re Wrong About... podcast.
Tearing through a YA-ish book that’s a little bit Duggars, a little bit Kardashians with a side of The Miseducation of Cameron Post.

Welcoming a fellow things enthusiast to my feed.
Calling myself a fan of spy reads now that so many women are getting in on the game: Lauren Wilkinson’s Cold War-era thriller is as good as Barack told you it was, Lea Carpenter’s has a bit of a daddy-daughter Scandal vibe happening, and I pre-ordered Amaryllis Fox’s real-life tale the moment I finished the totally gripping excerpt.
Adding an easy (chick)peasy, mega-satisfying recipe to the dinner rotation. You’ve probably already got most of the ingredients in your kitchen.
Making it all the way through summer 2019 without ever encountering a White Claw, yet feeling very up-to-speed on how its destiny was written in the tax-policy stars.

Whoa, have we gathered a lot of intel from our very own website lately. We’ve learned how to make a one-bowl Swedish breakfast bread (but not how to pronounce its name confidently). We’ve plotted trips to Toronto for the pho, Galicia for the rock formations, and North Brooklyn for the vintage furniture. We got cookbook recs from a food stylist and crime podcast picks from a seemingly fearless ceramicist. Yah, there’s almost a scary amount of stuff to dive into. — claire and erica

Dear friends, supporters, and fellow professional enthusiasts,
Tough news day here: Our parent company, Bed Bath & Beyond, has decided to close Of a Kind. We are, of course, very sad, but we also couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve built over the last nine years—or more grateful to have had you cheering us on. It has been a privilege to get to create the business we wanted to see in the world and an honor to showcase the work and stories of 600+ designers and makers whose work we admire and are, frankly, in awe of.
In terms of what this means for you, those special earrings you’ve wish-listed, and that fall sweater you’ve been eyeing: You’ll still be able to buy things on the site through the weekend if there’s anything you’re itching to scoop up while you can (everything will be final sale!). We even have one last edition coming your way tomorrow—a particularly meaningful one, though we didn’t plan it that way.
We’ll be here to answer any customer service questions you have until November 1. After that, we’ll bring our creative ambitions to other corners of the internet (and you can, of course, still find us on IG @clairemazur and @ericacerulo).
Thanks for being the greatest customers and fans a company could ask for.
xoxo,
Claire, Erica, and the whole (truly wonderful) Of a Kind team

Treating my Sonicare (and, duh, my mouth) to this toothpaste. My teeth feel so slick after I use it.
LOLing at these. Now I just have to make room for them on a bookshelf, a project that will require a few of its own balancing acts.
Maintaining my Texas enthusiasm with some stand-out Hill Country wine. Love that Mataro (a red, unusual for me!), and I’m itching to try the Piquette.
Fawning over a wedding-dress line.
Leveling up with measuring cups that (gasp!) just make sense.
Accepting the fact that you can’t put fish sauce on everything, but only because this is an excellent alternative in most cases.
Planning a visit the Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse, which I expect is like snooping around a fantasy home without having to pretend you might buy it.
Feeling the wind knocked out of me by the teeny, tiny short stories in Etgar Keret’s stunningFly Already.
Offering up a supremely satisfying, crowd-pleasing playlist.
Allowing a plumbing disaster to lead me down a rabbit hole of beautiful tiles, starting with Cristina Celestino for Fornace Brioni.
Predicting the imminent return of the arm party, for which this beauty makes a stellar starting point.

Phew, last week was a hard one. If you haven’t heard, Of a Kind is closing—ecomm is shutting down at 5 p.m. ET today!—and we’re feeling pretty overwhelmed with gratitude for all of the designers, writers, collaborators, and supporters who’ve believed in us since this was a wee website in 2010. And, then, of course there are the people who’ve been right by our sides, putting in the work with us every single day: The talented team of women who made this company tick are top-notch, and you’d be downright crazy not to hire them. Our ringing endorsements below. — claire and erica
Daring you to find a person who navigates the operational complexities of running a business with even half the poise and determination that Joan Baker does. Which is to say nothing of her reporting and finance chops!
Wishing all content everywhere got a dusting of Liz Sheldon’s trademark mix of thoughtfulness, sensitivity, and savvy—and that every team was so lucky as to have her kindness shaping the office ~vibes~.
Spotting a unicorn: Izzy Devine-Carter is—somehow—as good with words as she is with visuals (see our IG for proof), and that’s not even taking her digital and content production skills into account.
Showing you a woman who can juggle, like, 17 balls. Digital marketing, web project management, events? Jessie Newland’s on it, and she’ll make sure everyone else is on it, too.
Unearthing something we honestly didn’t know existed in a PR agency: LaRue relies on zero smoke or mirrors, just hard work and smarts, and everyone involved is just plain nice.
Predicting we’ll all be working for Marie Joh one day. She led our buying and merchandising for the last four years, but, like a true leader, she left her imprint on every part of the business.
Knowing we’ll be jealous of whatever brand is fortunate enough to benefit from Rachel Herzig’s incredible art-direction skills (and the fact that she is one of those rare creatives who is also insanely organized).
Feeling like we were never worthy of Melanie Sellinger’s extreme dedication, unparalleled attention to detail, invaluable candor, and, most of all, killer buying instincts.
Wondering how we got so lucky as to find the one warehouse in all the land that cares about the little things as much as we do—and was willing (nay, wanting) to manage the bonkers process of hand-written thank-you notes and certificates of authenticity because of that.
Telling you something you already know if you’ve ever interacted with Ruby Tucker: Nobody feels more deeply for Of a Kind’s customers than she does. If you think she oozes warmth in an email, you should see her at work.
