1. This weekend, sharing a pair of sunglasses I have been wanting, from Celine.
Ugh I like these quite a lot. And even more since (I say this proudly) seeing them over and over on Meredith Marks, of the RHOSLC, or what I consider the premier Real Housewives franchise right now (am so looking forward to the finale). I love the shape and actually the cream color but I guess for a pair this expensive I’d probably try for a more versatile shade? Not sure.
2. Speaking of housewives- I meant to post this a while back (and am aware I’ve been remiss in posting – my apologies!) about the Real Housewives reckoning, via Vanity Fair.
3. I thought this was an interesting discussion, via the NYT, about how high luxury prices can be justified. I really felt this! I don’t even look at clothes anymore really…the prices are absurd, especially for any outerwear. And everything, really!
4. Sharing this piece, via the NYT, about matching couples watches. I like this concept, although I am missing a) a husband who likes wearing watches, and b) hundreds of thousands $$$ to spend on matching watches.
5. This week, I read The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, by Aimee Bender.
This surprised me! I thought it was going to be rather light, perhaps a little predictable, but it really wasn’t – it reminded me in vibes (but not storyline) to The Time Traveler’s Wife. If you’re looking for a literary read that is beautifully written and a little strange, I highly recommend The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake.

December 22, 2023 at 4:17 pmI’ve been eyeing (pun intended) those sunglasses, too! I am so indecisive about the black or tortoise colors and therefore have not added to cart.
It’s great to see a post from you, Kat! I check every week to make sure I don’t miss a post so today’s post was a nice surprise (no pressure!). I want to wish you and your cute little family a happy and restful holiday season!

December 27, 2023 at 6:22 pmHi! I have a truly random question. Do you still have that clover Comme Des Garçons wallet? If so, is there any chance you would be willing to sell it? I’m looking for one just like it and can’t track one down. Thank you!

January 10, 2024 at 7:23 pmMaya – hope this isn’t creepy, but I actually have a black clover Comme Des Garcon wallet (that I bought on recommendation from this blog many years ago!!!) and am finally thinking to change it up. Would consider selling mine if interested – it’s definitely used but still functional. Happy to send pics if you can leave some way to contact you.
