Hey hi hello! I couldn’t let the summer pass without picking up Caro Claire Burke’s Yesteryear — arguably the read of the summer, judging by how many fellow pool deck readers told me they, too, were devouring it. Your library hold waitlist for this one might be loooong!

One last reminder — Pre-Loved is running our 2026 Secondhand Industry Income Survey for another week. Please take 10 minutes today to contribute to this one of a kind resource that’s helping create an income benchmark for independent secondhand sellers — the report is coming to your inboxes in August. Thanks!

📰 Recreating Summer Street Style with Secondhand Finds:

Do you have dozens of screenshots on your phone full of street style inspiration that you want to try to dress up yourself? (I do!) Do you wish you could find those looks secondhand? You can! And I can help. Comparison shopping doesn’t mean you have to have a million tabs open — scanning Poshmark, the RealReal, eBay just to find that one perfect summer dress.

Using either the Chrome extension, app, or desktop feed, Beni pulls secondhand finds from more than 40 resale marketplaces on any single search. Today I used their new “Collections” tool (where you can save finds like you would on a Pinterest board) to build out an entire summer street style edit for you: 7 great looks, saved into one mood board, where Beni also keeps suggesting comparable matches for every find, until they surface the perfect one. Here’s the looks, and what I put together to match:
