crisp crochet

It’s no surprise that walking around Europe requires lots of flat-wear – any comfortable shoe, really. I’ve practically been living in my sneakers so it was a good change of pace wh...

I’m a sucker for loosely fitted silk tops and this one does the trick — it’s become the shirt that goes with just about anything. I brought it with me to London and there are more t...
