Weekend Update

Sale PSA: Leather sock boots from Gianvito Rossi, now 40% off, a chic clear sandal from Jimmy Choo, now 40% off (I also like these slide sandals, now under $300), patent mary jane lug sole flats from Proenza, now $320 with code EXTRA10, and a chic relaxed crewneck t-shirt from Uniqlo U, now under $10.

1. This week, sharing a pretty poplin dress from Faithfull.

I like this dress very much – the material, the cut, the midi length. I do think it’s the sort of piece that has to fit you exactly right (so I am half expecting I’ll have to return it) – based on bust, waist, etc. But it’s so pretty and summery! Also, if you are an XL, it is even cheaper at Bloomingdales!

2. A well researched Rolling Stone piece about the recent allegations about Cary Fukunaga, the director of No Time To Die (and others). I think this is important to know! I feel this has received little coverage (because there’s so much else going on likely, but still).

3. An interesting article, via the NYT, about how Dior has stood by Johnny Depp.

4. I thought this piece, via Elle, from Morgan Parker about being single, was very well done and thoughtful.

5. This week I read The Palace Papers, by Tina Brown.

I love Tina Brown! I’ll read anything by her. I really enjoyed her biography on Diana so knew I was going to get this as well. This book was dishy yes, gossipy yes, but also well written (and I thought) fair. If you are at all interested in the UK royals (I’m not really, and still I was entranced) I highly recommend The Palace Papers.
