Winter, As Understood by the Fashion Internet

An Inbox Stylist for the extremely online.

So many of us are getting more serious about sleep. January is perfect for it — cold, wet, dark. The month practically begs for an early bedtime and a little hibernation. I just bought a Manta sleep mask on a recommendation from Noora Raj Brown and have been sliding under crisp new percale sheets with a Boll & Branch duvet (LOVELIST15 for 15% off $200). I’ve also been testing THC sleep gummies from The High Confectionery — just 1mg. Two of those, and I am respectfully offline.

I finally cleaned out my nightstand, which feels energetically and mentally essential for me. Top drawer: hand cream, lip balm, foam earplugs, a book, and night cream. Bottom drawer: red light mask, nail polish (THELOVELIST for 15% off at Celisse), magazines, iPad. Humidifier on. Cozy socks. A little brown noise. And we’re off to dreamland.

I asked you all about your sleep routines, too, and the responses were full of genuinely useful hacks. Perfect timing — I had COVID last week, so rest became non-negotiable.

Being sick also gave me way too much time to spend on the Internet, which means my entire feed is now Connor Storrie, and my brain is producing diatribes such as this:

Anyway, we all have to leave the house eventually — clearly, I really need to (Lisa Frank for Hermes? I swear I was not on any gummies when I wrote that).

Time to get dressed! Substack is already teeming with styling ideas for 2026, so I thought I’d base this month’s Inbox Stylist on some of my favorites.

P.S., our Substack Starter Pack: Get Hot(ter) Edition is a giveaway with $8k+ of top-shelf beauty. We’re selecting a winner on Friday, so you still have time, and the odds are good!
