Weekend Update

Sale PSA: Cute linen blend pants from Nordstrom, now $36, great architectural mules from The Row, now 30% off, and a long sleek cotton coat from Everlane, now $160.

1. It is sale season! So today sharing a sale pick, these great sandals from Clergerie.

Clergerie, $270

I like these sandals a lot – Clergerie shoes are always super comfy to me, and the fun pattern is both interesting and yet neutral enough to pair with a ton. A great shoe for summer at a pretty good price.

2. I thought this piece, via the NYT, was great and so insightful: Should Making It In Fashion Be This Hard?

3. I liked this article, also via the NYT, about how being an influencer comes naturally to Gen Z, no matter how large (or small) their audience.

4. Sharing this interesting piece, via Curbed, on the cost of living in NYC.

5. This week I read Big Swiss, by Jen Beagin.

I liked this book, which is about a transcriber for a therapist who uses her knowledge to get close to one of the patients. The book was quirky – it’s definitely not a thriller, not a mystery, more an interesting and very well written, often funny read. If you’re looking for a literary read and something edgier, I highly recommend Big Swiss.

    Dear Kat,

    Thank you for the post and the links to all these interesting and (some painfully true) articles! I know I speak for many when I say how much we all LOVE when you post; always interesting, thought provoking, and positive! We can all use your rays of sunshine – thank you so much!
    This book sounds very intriguing and clearly from the blurb seems like it would be a fun read! 🙂
    You are so gracious (re: quick review) the fact that you post for us with everything that you have to take care of, thank you for all that you do. Truly. And your haircut while it looks great to us, as it continues to grow you’ll likely enjoy the layers more 🙂 I hope!

    Not sure if you are also a fan of cherry preserves as well (re: cherry scents) but if you are the brand Bonne Maman recently came out with a “more fruit, less sugar” cherry spread which is pretty tasty:
