041/ AMA Sourcing Edition: Crossbody Bags, Metallic Pointed Flats, Gold Bracelets & More

Plus: dressing a short torso + stuff nobody asked for but I'm sharing anyway.

Hello again from South Korea, this time from the port city of Busan. The boys and I arrived here yesterday, after a five hour drive southeast, ending at the tip of the Korean Peninsula, a stone’s throw (50km, to be precise) from the Japanese island of Tsushima.

For our first day, we enjoyed the hotel pool and seaside, so I didn’t take these pictures of the city; they’re cultural sites we hope to visit over the next few days — if I can convince my boys, that is. Suffice to say, our time here has been challenging!

Haedong Yonggungsa temple

Gamcheon Culture Village

Samgwangsa temple - that is not a Nazi swastika, but rather a holy Buddhist symbol which dates back millennia. More on that here.

But this is a style newsletter (unless there’s an appetite for travel content?), and in this edition I’ll continue to work my way through your Ask Me Anything requests from this thread. ICYMI, here’s last week’s newsletter where I sourced summer workwear, polished shorts, brown textured sandals and more of what you were looking for.

Here we go!
