My 13 Favorite Things
Enter our giveaway for a chance to win them all — including perfect loafers, Sally Rooney's new book, and the coolest vegetable candles.
Hi, how is your week going?
Today’s issue is a fun one! During Big Salad’s first year, we featured 30+ women sharing their favorite things — from jeans to party snacks to polar plunging — and today I’m excited to share mine.
We are also doing a big anniversary giveaway, where one lucky reader will win all 13 things, featured below. The giveaway is open to paid subscribers, as a heartfelt thank you. This newsletter is reader-supported, and we are always grateful for everyone who reads, shares, and comments. If you’d like to enter the giveaway, leave a comment on this post. A winner will be randomly selected next Tuesday.
(We also offer 50 comped annual subscriptions every month. If you’d like to get on the waitlist, please email newsletter@cupofjo.com and we’d be more than happy to add you.)
Without further ado, here are 13 surprises and delights…
Sweater: I’ve worn babaà sweaters, designed by my friend Marta in Spain, ever since discovering them in 2014. They’re heirloom quality, and I treasure the idea of passing them down to children and grandchildren. This navy one feels especially soft and cozy.
Candle: This tomato candle smells like a freshly picked tomato straight out of the garden.
Shoes: Jamie Haller loafers are a major splurge, but they’re best in class, so since this is a giveaway, I’m including them! Buttery soft and comfy, they take no time to break in; and the silhouette isn’t too chunky or slim, but just right. They pair beautifully with jeans, dresses, skirts, everything.
Lamp: Clare V. and Schoolhouse Electric just collaborated on a home collection, and I’m into this playful little lamp, which comes in green, red and cream.
Bedding: Brooklinen — the husband-and-wife-founded brand — is a long-time Cup of Jo supporter, and for a decade our family has slept comfortably on their sheets and blankets. I like all the colors and fabrics, but white sateen feels extra good when slipping into bed with freshly shaved legs and a gripping book.
