The Substack Starter Pack

What does a "cool girl" wear? Not only will I tell you, I'll send you the outfit.

As Fashion Substack has grown over the last few years, there has been no shortage of snark about the pieces ubiquitously embraced by the fashion crowd. You know the staples: Juju Vera jewelry, High Sport pants, a Chava Studio shirt… the list goes on.

In my most Kiki Palmer voice, I would like to say, “Sorry to these people.” Enjoy being a fun sponge. The rest of us are over here having a great time shopping with the other girls.

Chava Studio x The Love List, Chapter II, drops April 29. Subscribers get first access.

After selling out in one hour last round, Olivia at Chava Studio and I are collaborating on another shirt drop, coming April 29. I thought it would be fun to embrace the clichés by giving away a “Substack Starter Pack” that includes our shirt, in a new, delicious pink European deadstock linen, to one of you.

Some of these items have been generously donated by the brands, and some I have paid for out of pocket. I wanted this giveaway to be “HOLY SHIT!” good.

Let’s have some fun, shall we?

The Starter Pack includes:

• A shirt from my forthcoming collaboration with Chava Studio, “Te Amo Chava”, Chapter II: same boyfriend cut as last time (we tweaked the sizing to still be roomy but not as billowy as the previous round), same dramatic tuxedo cuffs, same little heart embroidery when you fold back said cuff — all in a new, luxe pink European linen, perfect for the warmer months ahead. Drops April 29! ($525)

• A pair of High Sport kick pants in black ($860)

• A pair of Phoebe Philo bamboo sunglasses ($490)

• A Juju Vera Petra shell necklace in silver ($595)

• A Dorsey Yves lab white sapphire paracord necklace ($460)

• A Savette Symmetry Pochette bag in black mesh ($1290)

• A CO boyfriend crewneck cashmere sweater ($795)

• A pair of Emme Parsons Meta sandals in black nappa ($495)

• A set of Bose QuietComfort Headphones ($249)

• A Theraface cooling/heating depuffing wand ($149)

• An Ossa New York phone case and chain ($120)

• A pair of Juliettea Loulou earrings in silver

• A beauty bag full of selects from Ilia, Westman Atelier, Vyrao, and more.

Listen up; here’s how it works. If you subscribe to The Love List, you’re already entered to win, but you can increase your odds by getting multiple entries.

• If you’re a paid subscriber, you are already entered to win twice.

• If you’re an unpaid subscriber, you are already entered to win once.

• One extra entry for leaving a comment + hearting this post.

• One extra entry for sharing this giveaway on Substack Notes (tag me so I see it).

• One extra entry for sharing this giveaway on IG Stories (tag me jessnellgraves so I see it!) Multiple shares on multiple days = multiple entries. One share per day counts.

Fine print: Entries will be numbered and entered into a random number generator. A winner will be selected on our Chava Shirt launch day, April 29. If the first person selected doesn’t respond to my email within 48 hours, we will choose someone else by the same method until someone claims the Starter Pack. Items will be shipped from the vendor.

Good luck, and see you in the comment section!
