Weekend Update

Sale PSA: A pretty linen dress with embroidery from J.Crew, now just $52 with code SHOPNOW, a long linen duster from Eileen Fisher, now 40% off, a pretty woven skirt from Vince, now 40% off, and a simple but chic crew neck ribbed t-shirt from Uniqlo, now just under $8.

1. This week, sharing these Jimmy Choo sandals.

Very cute and Covid friendly (aka comfortable), right? And at a decent price (for luxury). I love the color and these look super comfortable. Kind of a version of the Hermes Orans, which I also love.

They are also available at Nordstrom and in black and tan, but for $40 more there for some reason. Also, if you are looking for a less expensive version, I have these and they are very nice (I took half a size up and they fit well – you can see them in this post)

2. Sharing this piece, via Vanessa Friedman for the NY Times, about “workleisure.” What do you think? Sounds good to me!

3. A gossipy article, via T&C, about how the wealthy are “stocking up” on cosmetic treatments now, before another potential fall lockdown.

4. A long, fascinating piece, via NY Times Magazine, about how two British dentists became celebrities in the “incel” movement.

5. This week I read My Life As A Villainess, by Laura Lippman.

Lippman is actually a crime/mystery writer – the first book I read of hers was Sunburn, which I recommended earlier. She’s a fantastic writer and seems like a very interesting person (not that I’ve ever spoken to her or know her at all). I shared one of Laura’s essays in Longreads, Game of Crones, a while back. And after I got a LOT of messages, about how much you liked the piece. I liked it too, so much that I remembered it when I saw that she had a new book of essays out. Which I liked a lot. Each piece is engaging but also reads very easily. She’s an excellent writer, and covers everything from career to aging to marriage and friendship. If you like Lippman’s fiction, or the article I shared above, I recommend you give My Life As A Villainess a try.
