Weekend Update

Sale PSA: An adorable cashmere beanie from Nordstrom, now $33, a cloud knit cableknit crew from Everlane, now under $100, a satin midi dress from Acne, now $315, and a cropped cardigan from Madewell, now $56 with code FLASH.

1. This week, sharing this chic crossbody bag, from Bottega Veneta.

I’ve liked this bag for what feels like ages. Ages! The strap was always too long for me however, even crossbody. It seems like they’ve reduced the length now, which would make it perfect – can anyone confirm? I love the small updates to the style and am a sucker for crossbodies still in general. There’s also a luscious steel gray version.

2. A nuanced, fascinating piece via The Washington Post: The Moral Calculations of a Billionaire.

3. I enjoyed this piece, via Who What Wear, on the mood boards of various stylists.

4. I really liked this video, via French Vogue, on what Jeanne Damas wears each day. Super stylish and quite accessible!

5. This week I read How To Be Parisian Wherever You Are, by Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret, and Sophie Mas.

This is another entry into the “how to be a chic Parisian” book category. It’s very charming, with some interesting insights and tips. It’s also a super quick read -I finished it in less than a day. I would say there is nothing earth shattering or life changing in it, but it’s a nice fun and easy read that gives you some thoughts for your own life. If you’re looking for a light stylish read, I recommend How To Be Parisian Wherever You Are.

    I have the BV crossbody bag! I’m 5″0 and this is the perfect length. I love the easy access with the zipper closure

    I noticed the BV based isn’t even lined. Nina – can you chime in if that is the case? Thank you.

      Oh this is a good point! I didn’t realize. It probably makes it lighter though.

    Yes, it’s super light! That’s an excellent point- I first ordered the bag from Farfetch and received a bag that was not lined. I then returned it and ordered another one from Matchesfashion and got one that was lined (same price). This was back in November, 2021. I am not sure if it’s because the newer productions are unlined to cut cost without raising the price? The outer woven part is lambskin and the lining is calfskin with a small pocket, both felt the same weight but the lined version certainly feels little more luxurious.
