iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I mean, you *can* ask for a last-minute date… but I’m also hosting a fall dinner party the same day I fly home from a gorgeous warm-weather getaway date, and I have a tablecloth to find and wine-braised short ribs to perfect in advance. this is why we plan, gentlemen.

realized over dinner that a longtime lover and I have been seeing each other for something like seven years now. ended the night making him laugh so hard he had to cover his mouth because he was getting LOUD. ngl, one of my better finishes.

fall clean-out means trips to the tailor, cobbler, and dry cleaner with half my closet in tow. very grateful for a lover who made sure i’m being chauffeured through the ordeal. otherwise i’d be walking around new york like Andy Sachs in a wardrobe montage.

Planning a little fall dinner party for friends and apparently I’m incapable of being casual about it. There’s a menu, a dress code, a playlist (obviously). I have a vision!

Choosing a chic hotel room is really an investment in both of us. We both get to luxuriate and I inevitably take hotter pictures, everybody wins

Mentioned a few things wanted to do in last month’s newsletter. He read it, planned the date, and made the reservations. See why i tell you to read my letters? :)

A new letter just landed 💌 a little life lately, what i’ve been thinking about, and a look toward the rest of the year. Nov + Dec planning is officially underway, with just a little room left in October come read xx

My sister told me ages ago to get Libby and I finally listened. It has changed my life. Finished The Silence of the Girls, The Second Mrs. Astor, and now starting A Sky Full of Elephants, all in the last two weeks. Childhood me who used to max out her library loans is LIVING

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Sending you a new letter tomorrow 💌 It’s been a minute, we have some catching up to do

Thinking about the time my African parent asked young me “are you ghey?” EXACTLY like that viral clip. Me, who genuinely did not know yet: 😳 I mean…turns out they were half right.

if you haven’t checked behind the paywall lately… you should probably fix that. I’m back from summer break :)

I love a “saw this and thought of you” gift. Excellent genre of man

I had a lovely summer being unserious. Unfortunately, the weights have located me.

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Heard a song from Noah Kahan’s new album in April, turned it off and said…mmmm not yet. I knew it needed fall and I was RIGHT. Crunchy leaves, crisp air, staring into the middle distance thinking about times long past. This is high folk ART. Midwestern Bre of yore is LEAPING out

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Leather weather, finally 🍂☕️

had a post-apocalyptic dream where our group was running out of food and I didn’t remember how to make bread from scratch. anyway, I need more cookbooks and kitchen supplies because I’ll be damned if I’m betrayed by my own lack of knowledge, even in my sleep

020

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I was delusional for as long as I could be, but summer’s definitely over. Shared a lil dump on my IG for the pics I didn’t post xx

The dress is doing 30%, posture is doing 70% ☕️

A woman in a navy striped sheer maxi dress and black pillbox hat stands at an outdoor café in Madrid, turned over her shoulder toward the camera holding a takeaway coffee cup. A bistro chair and small marble table sit to her right, and a green pharmacy sign glows in the background.

Was invited to Atlanta for the weekend and naturally I found time for a little crate digging. the best parts couldn’t make the camera :)

Keeping a little room in my calendar for the last stretch of the month. NYC come find me

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Settling back into NYC for the rest of September. Exactly where I want to be 🗽

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Increasingly convinced this month is just August with better outfits and a sudden desire to do everything arts related

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Took a long walk through the city, then booking flights for the next couple months. *Exactly* the kind of Saturday I like. Keep the invitations coming ✨

Looks like I get to stretch summer out just a little longer. Atlanta next weekend ☀️

Apparently I’ve been a professional hotel suite dancer since at least 2019. (🧵for receipts + immaculate jam taste) Still employed. I added extensions for hairography purposes

I'd been dying to see Shifters, and my date surprised me with tickets. Definitely cried during the music moments and god, both actors were perfection. Fall is officially theatre season! 🍂🎭

Tiny inbox PSA: apparently a couple of perfectly lovely inquiries took an unexpected vacation in my spam folder 🙃 If you’ve reached out and never heard back from me, please feel free to try me again. I promise I’m not that mysterious

Watched the Paradise s2 finale with my date last night and now we’re both texting each other quantum computing explainers instead of doing literally anything else

Nia Bolde informed me that we are in the Sunday of summer! Beautiful + correct. Also correct: bulgogi for lunch in LES.

I forgot so much of this after high school. Then I saw The Odyssey twice, read Song of Achilles, and now I’m back in the textbook. 3rd declension endings still suck.

Boat hair, oyster liquor on my hands, and zero thoughts. It was a 10/10 day

A very good argument for staying in NYC in August. A little union square green market moment + bounty for home 🥬🫜

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I was attacked just now. There was a water bug that came up the drain, in my own home. it doesn’t pay rent; it doesn’t deserve to be here! There was a long fight. And the kind of shrieking that might make a neighbor check to see that all is well.

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Euro summer has come to an end. I’m back home in NYC, inbox replies coming—thank you for your patience—and a newsletter tomorrow. I’ll be processing this view for a while! 🇪🇸

Brooklyn, a pub, & a Guinness. It’s World Cup time 🏆

I put it out into the universe that I needed to be at this concert. The universe, and one very generous person, delivered! Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium, live and up close. I screamed every word of every song and I had no voice left and zero regrets! 🗽🎵

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

US availability for July? Gone. 🇪🇸 for a bit, then London the last week of July! I have a little room for the right invite. 🇬🇧 August and September are filling up, in the city or wherever the right trip takes us. If something’s been on your mind, now is the window.

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

someone gifted us a morning. So @effymorris_ and I accepted graciously and without hesitation 🧖🏾‍♀️✨

bare back, white sheet, sitting on the floor of a salmon pink hotel suite. green abstract painting on the wall. morning light.

two hands clinking juice glasses over breakfast in bed. scrambled eggs, cherry tomatoes, toast on a floral plate. the pink suite visible through the doorway. Girls spa morning done right!

I love everything about road trips! The great American one is on my bucket list. the open road, the pre-planned playlists, the pit stops where you learn your companion’s weird snack habits. seeing the country unobstructed…

Bre Jolie @brejolienyc.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

I’m not from here originally but New York claimed me and so I suppose I’m celebrating today. Fireworks over the Hudson hit different when the city is yours. happy Fourth. 🎆

I’ve been walking around with a scarf for a top in this heat. it’s what my ancestors would have wanted for me.
