Weekend Update

Sale PSA: A super useful canvas tote from J.Crew, now under $60, very cool platform fisherman sandals from Miista, now 25% off, and a silky cotton striped shirt from Everlane, now $44 (I have the version of this in reverse and love it, very strongly considering getting a version in white/navy stripe!)

1. This week, I very very very much like this bag, the Bourse, from The Row.

God I like this bag. The little strap that tucks in or can be removed to make it a clutch. The magnetic closure! The soft leather!! It’s kind of what I wanted the Bottega Pouch bag to be (still love that bag). Anyway, a great option from The Row.

2. I loved this piece in The Cut, about the author’s quest to help her mom make friends.

3. I loved this tribute to Issey Miyake, via the NYT.

4. Another great piece via The Cut, I’m Good At Saving But I’m Still Miserable.

5. This week I read Crying in the Bathroom, by Erika Sanchez.

I really enjoyed this! I was in the mood for a confessional memoir – this is that, albeit in a series of essays, so you move around Sanchez’s life. It’s both easy to read, like a lot of these essay books are, but with the added addition that Sanchez is a really excellent writer. And she’s funny. If you’re looking for a funny (warning: foul language)! and very smart, raw memoir, I highly recommend Crying in the Bathroom.
