What I find new and notable for the month.

This image is from Miu Miu Spring 2024. I am noting the laced boat shoes. There is a juxtaposition of wearing this casual shoe with a more tailored look that attracts me. I have a pair of L.L. Bean blucher moccasins that are coming out of retirement to serve in this way.
This J. Crew leather jacket is the right amount of Moto without being tough.
I have never watched the regular The Bachelor, but I am watching The Golden Bachelor. Maybe it’s because I am married and not relating to wanting to find a partner but I am most interested in the women contestants and their interactions way more than I am caring about anyone finding love. Finding community may be the best thing some of these women will get out of this process. My one pet peeve (other than cringing a little watching kissing on screen,) is that the Golden Bachelor’s name is Gerry and it’s pronounced Gary.
Banana Republic corset belt. I started wearing a corset belt this summer with blazers and skirts. This black one is stunning and has these little side pockets for something or other.
Season 3 of The Morning Show is running on Apple+. I find this a fun watch. Jon Hamm is featured in a big way so there’s that. I am not as enamored with the wardrobe choices this season but may be it will improve as I get through the series.
The Row Pump. I can’t figure this shoe out.
Don’t Call Me Home, by Alexandra Auder. I am not yet finished with these memoir but I am intrigued by the author’s detailed and colorful descriptions of a very unconventional upbringing and complicated relationship with her famous, via Wharhol, mom.
Coach I never tire of metallics. This little bag is not expensive and it looks like it can be functionally chic all year round.

What I find notable for the month.

leena for Mac Dougal, also available here. I saw this dress on a woman on TikTok and had a immediate “I want that reaction.” The color in this pic is a bit dull but when I saw it on the video it’s very chartreuse and vibrant. I don’t have an event to even consider buying it, but I want to.
This is a classic I had never read. Written in 1943, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn shares the life a a young girl at the turn of the century in Brooklyn. I didn’t actually read it. I listened to this book narrated by the wonderful actor, Kate Burton. At bedtime, I often set the timer on the audiocast and fell asleep listening so I had to go back and re-listen quite a few times. Each time I went back, I picked up details that I had missed the first time.
Gucci Westman’s Westman Atelier is a favorite makeup of mine. I am not really a makeup person but I like that her formulas don’t irritate my skin. It’s lightweight and I adore the way it’s packaged. This Vital Skincare Complexion Drops is a new addition.
I just finished reading I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. Jennette was a child star on Nickelodeon. Her writing is tight, funny and easy to read- which belies how abusive her childhood is portrayed. However disturbing I still enjoyed reading it.
PINKO. More of my obsession with silk charmeuse. I have own silk charmeuse blouses and I inevitably spill some sort of oil on them.
This Sergio Hudson tailored blazer was part of the designer collaboration that Target just had with Sergio Hudson, La Ligne and Kika Vargas. I didn’t notice it until I was in store and picked it up as a lark. It’s a well designed and well made piece. I am glad I didn’t miss it.
The Row. What is it with me and shiny objects this month? I love practical brown, black and cordovan but if I were to splurge on an alternate, I would pick this loafer.
Brooks Brothers cotton blouse. I am a sucker for a white cotton blouse and I love a tie neck. I find that button downs can have a masculine vibe and it’s nice to have one or two or three with a more feminine slant. It creates a polished look with very little effort. No jewelry or scarf required.
“Heartstopper” on Netflix. I loved this charming love story/friendship story. I don’t want to ruin it by describing it.
