Weekend Update

Sale PSA: Everlane currently has 25% off everything, including their great Dream pant (which I love in winter), chic glossed boots from Gabriela Hearst, now 30% off, and a great cropped twill jacket from Rosetta Getty, now 50% off.

1. This week, sharing a sale item, simple patent flats from Sam Edelman, now between $70 and $100.

I really like these flats and their sister, this slightly squarer version. I think they are quite chic and versatile for anyone looking for a comfortable work shoe. And in the era of four digit shoe prices, the price on these is right!

2. I’ve been traveling so have missed out on what the story was here – I appreciated this primer, via the NYT, on the Balenciaga controversy.

3. Sharing this piece, via British Vogue, about how to build a wardrobe like Kate Moss.

4. In the midst of sale season, sharing this piece, via Harpers Bazaar UK, about questions to consider before pulling the sale trigger. I like some of these more than others (I do use the “will this go with 3 items in my wardrobe” question a lot!)

5. This week, I read Those Who Leave And Those Who Stay, by Elena Ferrante.

Okay I’ve tried to get into the Neopolitan series a BUNCH of times. I read My Brilliant Friend years ago and for some reason just never went forward. I recently re-read it however, and wow. I was sucked in and had to keep going. This is the third book out of four. What freaking masterpieces. I highly recommend the entire Neopolitan series, for anyone and everyone.

    I read four in a row! It is, I agree, a masterpiece!

    I listened to all four books and thoroughly enjoyed the narration and native Italian speaker. How refreshing to have female relationships that are multi-dimensional. I read an interesting article about the translator and how she was instrumental in the series popularity.
