Weekend Update

1. Sharing a favorite bootie this week which is great for spring – and also happens to be on sale – the Brady, from Madewell.

I love these – I bought them in a 7 and they were too big and have to get my true size, 6.5, except now they are backordered til June. Ugh. The good news is that at least Madewell is having one of their (relatively) rare percent off sales, and these are now 30% off! I rarely buy booties because they can cut off the leg but something about the mule styling of this one plus the cut out on the sides is very flattering. If you’re looking for a nice pair of spring booties – try them!

Also, if you want them now and are a larger shoe size, they are available at Nordstrom (also in the very excellent white color).

2. A short little article about pay in the fashion industry, via Fashionista – simply because I’m nosy.

3. What do you think so far of Reed Krakoff for Tiffany? The WSJ has a nice profile of Krakoff’s work with the brand – and though I admit I’m a bit lukewarm on him, I came away with a better impression.

4. Your good feels of this week – this excellent video of Erika Jayne and her 24 hours at Vogue. So good! She’s kind of a genius. After all, has any other Housewife gotten a Vogue nod of approval? And also, Vogue does really good videos.

5. Cringeworthy article of the week, via The Washington Post, about how woman is tired of being a “Jewish Man’s Rebellion.” So painful to read yet I couldn’t stop.

6. This week I read The Child Finder, by Rene Denfeld.

The Child Finder is about a woman, named Naomi, who specializes in finding missing children, as she herself was once a child that was “taken”. This book was quite disturbing at times and very stressful to read – yet I found I couldn’t stop myself from flipping the pages. Denfeld writes beautifully and with incredible nuance and sensitivity toward the subject – highly recommended, with a warning that there are some scenes of child abuse.
