Minimal Monthly

Hi Reader,

What a jump in temperature this week. Within 48 hours we went from flip-flops and shorts to jacket, scarf, beanie and booties. The sudden shift gave me the impetus to get out on the rooftop and clean the gutters before the cold really sets in. All that's left to do is bring in the containers that aren't winter-proof and tackle one final round of weeding in October. Easy-peasy. No knotweed in my neck of the woods. 😉

Good Housekeeping lists seven other things to check in your yard before winter kicks in, including garden tools. I've ruined a few of those in the past myself by leaving them out all winter. 🥶

Speaking of gardening, now's a great time to nab some deals for next season. Like these lightweight, spiral hoses. Save 35% on select products from THXEVER with the promo code 35DNRWHK, through the 5th of October, while supplies last. 💦

In defence of classic quality over high street quantity, here are 20 or so picks for a timeless minimalist wardrobe, how to put everything together over time, why that coat you've been eying for a thousand quid is actually more affordable than the one from Zara, and a potential checklist for those who want to revamp their closet entirely. Whew.

Stuff I've Loved

• If you're on the market for a new hoover anytime soon, NY Magazine has a helpful run-down of the 15 best models for all sorts of flooring types and allergy/pet situations. Their best hardwood pick is just 80 bucks.
• If you've never geeked out on 3D printing before, you are about to. This guy was fed up with standard drawer organisers. So he printed his own! I foresee a whole new hobby in my not-so-distant future 😀
• ​How to not look retired when you're actually retired? The WSJ fashion section is actually pretty decent and I dare say these outfits would look great on any woman, of any age.
• Matt Rutherford not only writes a weekly newsletter full of career tips, but also compiles a darn cool mixtape once a month. Really good tunes that I wouldn't have discovered on my own.
• Interior inspo: I'm still lurking around malelivingspace on Reddit. And this guy's minimalist-cosy flat in Madrid was one of my faves this month.

Happy Monday! 👋
