Weekend Update

1. This week, sharing a useful little jacket, from Acne, on sale.

Honestly lately I have no idea how to shop sale season. I don’t really do it much anymore because it’s all to much and the prices are high and etc. I’ve found that when I do it’s best to choose simple items I’ll wear a lot with an interesting detail – hence the jacket above, which I think is one of those casual items that’ll go with a ton. HOWEVER I also really like this cool asymmetric bag!

2. An interesting piece, via the NYT, about the online backlash to a recent influencer trip for Shein.

3. Sharing this piece, via the NYT, about the significance of a Gucci duffel bag at Wimbledon.

4. A nice, gossipy piece, via Vanity Fair, about the battle between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for Miraval, their wine brand.

5. This week, I re-read The Handmaids Tale, by Margaret Atwood.

Sometimes, you know, you try a lot of books and none are really hitting the spot! That’s been happening to me lately and so I decided to turn back to a classic and wow, I forgot just how amazing this book is. I mean, I knew it would be good, I remember loving it, but re-reading it I recall all the reasons why. A masterpiece and I would highly recommend re-reading a favorite if you’re in a rut like I am! And really, you can’t go wrong with The Handmaids Tale.
