Weekend Update

Sale PSA: A great metallic dress from ALC, now 60% off, a pretty little white dress from Doen, now $200 (but WHY final sale at 30%??), and a lovely lace trimmed pleated dress from Vince, now $208.

1. Sale item I am considering: this little bucket bag, by The Row.

I have been obsessed with The Row lately. Which is depressing because their prices are not exactly…friendly. Next to their clothing prices however their bag prices almost look REASONABLE (I guess I have Hermes vision too) and I really like this little bag. I have two other black crossbody bags though so I really don’t need it. But I love the shape and it’s even on sale. Ugh.

2. Love this interview/Q&A with Tina Brown. I’ll read almost anything written both about, and by Tina. Not because I always agree, but her point of view is always interesting.

3. A very fun piece via the NYT about what the employees of Moda Operandi wear (a lot of THE ROW!!).

4. Oof to this piece, via The Atlantic – When A Promotion Leads To Divorce. Anyone want to guess the genders involved here?

5. This week I read Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber, by Mike Isaac.

This has been on my list for a while. Non-fiction about the Valley? Check. Obnoxious billionaires who finally get their due (kind of………..)? Check. This book, by Isaac, a NYT reporter who extensively covered Uber for years, follows its rise and fall with a lot of detail (and some formerly unknown gossip). If you liked Bad Blood, or followed the Theranos unfolding with glee and horror – I highly recommend Super Pumped.
