Sale PSA: A useful waterproof jacket from Barbour, now 25% off, a pretty midi dress from Everlane, now $74, and a cool layered skirt from Tibi, now $166 (with the extra 40% off at checkout)
1. This week, sharing this great blazer jacket in chino from J.Crew, now 40% off.
I like this! I am always in perpetual search of the perfect casual blazer. I have a few from Tibi which I like, but this is a lot less and I like the color and gold buttons (reminds me of this more pricey one I’ve been eyeing). Worth a try on sale (especially as it isn’t final sale).
2. I really enjoyed this article, via The Washington Post – Whatever Happened To Having Taste? Would love to hear all your thoughts on it! (By the way, I am really enjoying this season of RHONY).
3. An interesting piece, via the NYT, about how children are reviving their family’s legacy brands.
4. A fun little piece, via The Cut, on how to flirt.
5. This week, I read Commonwealth, by Ann Patchett.
I think I’d read this before…but maybe not all the way through? Anyway, I loved it. I have been craving a great literary saga like this – where the writing is so wonderful but so is the story, and you just want to keep reading. Love, love love. Patchett is a treasure. If you’re looking for a literary read, I highly recommend Commonwealth.
