Weekend Update

Sale PSA: Padded chain sandals from JW Anderson, now under $350, black Madewell jeans, now 40% off, Balenciaga sandals, now $375, and an alpaca polo from Everlane, now 50% off.

Hi! Happy Thanksgiving week for those celebrating! And I hope everyone is having a nice time with loved ones. I’m not doing a big Black Friday post this year though I’ll probably share some holiday wishlist items. I have placed a few sale orders but not too much. I am trying to have a more streamlined shopping season and will update later how that goes!

1. This week, sharing this blazer from The Frankie Shop (now 40% off!)

I’ve added a few oversized blazers this year and have to say I really like them! I have long shied away from some Frankie Shop styles because they are synthetic however I have realized that buying a single synthetic that I’ll use a lot is better than buying multiple natural fiber versions. I LOVE this sort of dropped shoulder blazer and I think this is a great price for a classic color.

2. I thought this piece about Giorgia Meloni’s style, via the NYTimes, was very interesting. Would love to hear thoughts from Italian readers!

3. Once in a while Vogue will post one of these “what’s in my bag videos” that feels less like an infomercial – this was one I liked (well plus I just like her), about what’s in Sienna Miller’s handbag.

4. Also, sharing an interesting WSJ piece on permanent jewelry. Have any of you done this?

5. This week, I read Verity by Colleen Hoover.

This is my first Hoover! I’ve tried to read her before but couldn’t get into it. But I tried again and finished this one in a few days so yes…I understand the hype. Is it high literature, no, but Hoover doesn’t claim to be. Also, just to be snarky, but I think a lot of “high lit” could learn something about plotting from Hoover. Warning: some of the scenes are QUITE explicit. (or maybe I’m just a prude, ha). If you’re looking for a fast paced thriller and haven’t already read a Hoover, I recommend Verity at least to try her out!
