iPad dogs, the ultimate fall shoes, NSYNC merch, and more with a guest!
Hi, hi. It’s the first issue of October, which also happens to be the best month of the year — and not just because it’s my (Aliza’s) birthday month.1
Thank you, all, for the thoughtful comments and feedback on last week’s issue on body image. There were many rewrites and ghost edits to get me comfortable with sharing. It’s all a process.

Today, we’re excited to feature links from
who writes the shopping(-ish) newsletter, !Each volume of Lindy’s newsletter
features a different tastemaker sharing the things they love most, no filter. It feels like reading your favorite page in your favorite magazine — you know, that one where you can’t dog-ear enough things.Lindy’s Links
After months of being MIA, Esther Povitsky is back on TikTok to share what the hot girls in L.A. are currently into — including, apparently, slightly see-through low-rise pants. Proceed at your own risk. (Aja: Obsessed with Esther and calling it sociology.)
The phenomenon of The Bow Tax that The Cut zeroed in on is fascinating to me. Keep your eyes peeled for unreasonably high-priced bows, girlies!
Apparently some creators are feeling a disconnect from their personal brands. I think we all struggle with our online personas sometimes, so I'm curious to see how this conversation evolves.
Idk who needs to hear this, but there’s new NSYNC merch. Catch me in the logo star tee.

Did you know… Adam Sandler is a Gen Z style icon?2
The temperature dropped below 60 in Boston last week — and I’ll admit, I was very excited to pull out my favorite everyday boots (which I copied off my younger, and trendier, sister!) from the back of my closet.
This colorful collection of “Mother Essentials” from the mamas behind Milk Teeth is aspirational.
No, I haven’t read Millie Bobby Brown’s debut novel, but in light of the hoopla, I found
’ interview with a ghostwriter fascinating.
Aja’s Links:
The pictures do not do justice to this skirt. It’s so chic (and comfortable!)
Indian couples are selling seats at their weddings to tourists via Join My Wedding. This NYT article (gift link) delves into the fascinating trend.
Tasting Table comes to the… table with a secret ingredient for pulled pork I did not expect. Aliza, should this be the next dinner we attempt together? (Aliza: Yes, please!)
A South Carolina teacher was reported for assigning readings from Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “Between the World and Me” to her all-white AP Lang. class. H/T to
at Solitary Daughter for sharing.Anxiously waiting for these black flats to arrive.
And last but not least: be on the look out for Aja’s interview with Lindy later this week (for
), including what she had to turn off her camera for mid-work-meeting to buy before it sold out. 👀ICYMI: Platonic Love is an entirely reader-supported, affiliate-free publication. We love pulling these roundups together, and we want you to feel 100% confident in what we’re sharing. We’ll see you on Thursday to talk about beauty and aging! Love, Aliza & Aja
The crispness in the air! The foliage! The pumpkins and Halloween decorations! The fall-ness of it all!!
Proof that if you just keep wearing the same things long enough, they’ll come back in style again.
so honored to join you this week! ty for having me! xx
Right there with you re: the NSYNC merch!
