The Pitch » Jack Winter

Scanned from a 1963 issue of The New Yorker Since our yard is completely iced over this morning, I’m guessing the answer to this question is: Jack Winter (whoever he may be).

Found » YSL Harlequin Pumps

Ahh, these shoes. A very exciting day at the thrift store indeed, only to turn out when I got home that they absolutely did not fit. Yet I refused to take them back–they were marked 8/5! They...

The Story » Sézane by Morgan Sézalory

Morgan Sézalory’s new label Sézane launched online yesterday, and it’s really, really good. Like, everything-you-need-to-look-like-a-cool-French-girl-without-trying good. None of this is...

Currently…

1. Reading | 2. Wearing | 3. Watching Basically, all sorts of things other than blogging. I’m hopeful though – I need something to distract me until Borgen comes back.

The Story » Brooklyn Tweed

One Look » Gucci Pre-Fall 2013

via style.com I’m still trying to decide (a) whether I have any business posting my thoughts/reviews of full collections, and (b) if so, how do I want to categorize/organize/format those posts, but...

On Diplomacy

From a little piece in the FT about some of the Ambassadorial rumors whirling around last week, a little bit of actual perspective to remind the U.S. that looks–and funds–aren’t actually everything.

Dress Code » Everlane Wool Scarves

Woven in Scotland of very fine merino wool, these gender-neutral scarves were the highlight of my email inbox this week. That may not seem like the most compelling endorsement ever, but it’s meant...

Ladies’ & Gents’ » UNIQLO x theory

Not the most publicized fashion collaboration to launch this week, but still an exciting one: shop these styles online at UNIQLO or theory (which also has some seriously cute kids’ editions)....

Update » The Red Wing Boots

My dad texted these pictures to me at 7:21 on Monday morning, barely twelve hours after I dropped off these Red Wing boots. Pretty awesome, aren’t they? I’m almost even more jealous than before.

Found » Red Wing 8130 Boots

This find was all P’s doing; I went straight to coats when we walked into the thrift store and, unusually, didn’t even make it to men’s shoes. It was only on our second pass that he mentioned he’d...

The Pitch » The Scotch House, 1978

It’s finally that time of year again: still sort-of warm but no longer summer, and apt to catch a chill if one stands too long in the shade, or a now-decidedly-cool breeze blows by. I have no...
