1. This week, sharing a fun pair of shoes (also on sale) – these silver fisherman loafers, from J.Crew.

I ordered these! Review and photos to come in a purchases post. I like them and thought they would be fun for outfits. And they look comfortable. I’ll update on how they actually are though – the price was right and yes, I did order them with the Row’s metallic fisherman sandals in mind.

2. On the topic of The Row – I enjoyed this piece, via The Cut, on how to afford The Row. Yes, how can we!! I need tips!

3. A great article, via the NYT, about a company giving second life to luxury deadstock fabric. I would love to touch all that double face cashmere!

3. I really enjoyed this piece, via the NYT, about what happened to people who quit their jobs in the last few years. I love reading about how happy they are!

5. This week I read Voices From Chernobyl, by Svetlana Alexeivich.

This has been on my list a while – I had it and forgot about it and recently found it again. I would describe this read as both simple and difficult….Alexievich’s manner is very direct and she connects these stories in a way that builds and builds until the end when you’re stunned by all the people she gave a voice. If you’re looking for a haunting, elegant, beautifully written non-fiction read, I highly recommend Voices from Chernobyl.
