Recent Reads

 

After a recent book rut, I’ve finally gotten back into my reading groove. My most recent reads have been Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, The Five-Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand, Tell Me Everything by Minka Kelly (celebrity memoirs are my guilty pleasure) and Never Lie by Freida McFadden. I’m starting to check out self improvement books, starting with Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb. You can find most of my library on the Read page. Please share any and all book recommendations!

J. Crew The Essentials

 

J. Crew is a classic Americana brand and I always turn to the vintage catalogs for inspiration. It lost it’s luster for a bit, but ever since Olympia Gayot took over, it’s back and better than ever. The new essentials caught my eye: covetable classics, made with quality fabrics and timeless details. I grabbed the Gwyneth dress for a wedding last summer, the striped shirt dress is really good and the roll neck sweater will be making it’s way into my closet.

High and Low

 

At dinner with girlfriends recently I wore my usual style – a mix of high and low. The girls were able to identify this dress from Target as well as the Hermes Orans. Due to life with a little one, I try to save on clothing and splurge on shoes and handbags, which works for my current lifestyle.
