Weekend Update

1. Is it cold where you are still? It’s still pretty darn cold where I am (relatively). So I wanted to share with you one of my favorite new sweaters, this cashmere Everlane rib v-neck.

Everlane, $145

I just got this recently and it’s pretty much the sweater of my dreams. I had been looking for a slightly cropped, slightly bell sleeved v-neck for some time but hesitated to get this because I already love my waffle crewneck and for some reason wanted to try a different brand. But finally I gave in and I love this sweater. If you like the waffle you should try this rib, it’s really really good and perfectly loose. I’ll try to do an outfit shot for a post later.

2. Sharing this piece, via the NY Times, about what it is like in Hollywood for black talent agents.

3. I was recently wondering about Carolyn Bessette Kennedy (yes I was searching for outfit photos) and came across this article, Secrets and Lies, via Vanity Fair. This is my favorite sort of VF article – dishes all the dirt.

4. A tearjerker of a piece from The Atlantic – My Wife Was Dying And We Didn’t Tell Our Children.

5. This week, I read The Lost Man, by Jane Harper.

I’ve actually recommended both of Harper’s other books on the blog – The Dry and Force of Nature, and I have to say that The Lost Man is my favorite one yet. It’s a thriller/mystery, like her other novels, but set in the Australian outback, which I love – I have a thing for outback stories for some reason, I love reading about the desert and the isolation and how people out there live. And the mystery is really good. Loved this one and highly recommend for anyone looking for a good mystery.

    That CBK Vanity Fair piece is so spicy… I just ordered the book from which it was excerpted.

    And, in case you haven’t read this, a new VF story gives an update on Elizabeth Holmes: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/02/inside-elizabeth-holmess-final-months-at-theranos

    I love that rib v neck and can wear it to work, too. It is sooo comfy and I like the bit of v in the back as well.

    Oh! I just started The Lost Man. So funny! I too loved her other books. It may in fact have been you who turned me on to The Dry 🙂

    Can’t wait to read the CBK story, I am mixed on her (well, not mixed at all except that she DID have great style!).

    CBK was one of my favorite style icons. So laid back day to day, and so inspiring for special events..
