1. This week, I am eyeing these sandals from Dear Frances.
I have been wanting the Ginza sandals from The Row for several years. But seriously – the price! I like these Dear Frances sandals as an alternative, and the reviews are great. Has anyone tried this brand?
2. I absolutely loved this interview between Andre Leon Talley and Michael Kors, for Interview Mag. I’ve recommended The Chiffon Trenches multiple times here (including in my favorite books of 2020) – this book inspired and moved me. Rest in piece to an icon.
3. I enjoyed this article, via the NYT, about people finding their style during the pandemic.
4. An interesting (??) profile on Joss Whedon – called The Undoing of Joss Whedon, which should tell you everything. I do love Buffy. I wish I had time for a re-watch.
5. This week I read The Copenhagen Trilogy, by Tove Ditlevsen.
This is a memoir, and the story of Tove, who starts as a girl in Copenhagen who’s mother makes her feel ashamed for reading, is really remarkable. You experience her childhood, her marriage, her troubles and addictions.And she’s a very elegant, and quite often blunt writer. If you liked the Ferrante trilogy, or interesting memoirs, I highly recommend The Copenhagen Trilogy.

Dear Frances are great! I have a pair of their Chelsea Boots and the quality is amazing. The leather is so soft but the boots themselves are sturdy and robust. I love the cut as well. So I vote get the sandals! They’re very chic.
All the best,
Long term reader, Harriet from London

January 21, 2022 at 12:57 pmI don’t have any shoes from Dear Frances (yet), but there is a pair of lace up ankle boots I’ve been eyeing. I like those sandals…they have quite a lot of foot coverage, which is different from the Tkees I usually wear.
