Weekend Update

Sale PSA: Simple slides from Madewell, now under $50 with code ELEVATE, multiple Havaianas, now $22, and a pretty poplin midi dress from Frame, now 55% off.

1. This week, sharing these silver sandals from J.Crew.

I like these a lot and think they look really nice and sleek! Not the most expensive looking (no one would mistake these for say, Prada) but I got a pair of silver fisherman sandals last year from J.Crew and am quite happy with them. So definitely eyeing these! I like that they are padded too, I can’t really do those hard bottom sandals.

2.Thank you JK, for sharing this interesting piece via Alex Murrell: The Age of Average.

3. Sharing this piece, via the NYT, about how to break out of an all black wardrobe rut.

4. Posting this interesting piece, about marriage therapists say therapy can’t fix via The Cut.

5. This week I’m reading Red Comet, by Heather Clark.

As you can see from the cover, this is a biography of Sylvia Plath. I’ve never been particularly fascinated by Plath but recently picked up Ariel and then thought I wanted to read more about this woman. I’m about halfway through and the book is just so well done – tightly and elegantly written and brings Plath to life far beyond a caricature. If you enjoy biographies and/or poetry, I highly recommend Red Comet.

    Thanks for the book recommendation, will certainly check it out. It’s been a while since I’ve read any Plath.

    I was surprised how much I enjoyed Marrying the Ketchups. As a Chicagoan and former restaurant person, I related to much of the story line, not to mention all the family dramas.

      Ahh! I’m so glad!! I tried another book by her and didn’t like it *as* much but enjoyed this one a lot. I’m always thrilled when someone likes one of my book recs 🙂

    Discovered your blog researching Balenciaga moto jacket fit, and went into a rabbit hole going into all your post archives. Congrats on everything!

    Thought I would leave a comment in case you monitor your site stats and were wondering why you might have suddenly irregular traffic 🙂
