Weekend Reading 8.29.26
Topping the list is Bon Appetitโs list of best new restaurants and Vanity Fairโs fall movie guide. The trailer for the new season of The Gilded Age, how good taste is getting weirder (yay), the best places to go this Fall, how to spend a bookish afternoon in Brooklyn. A romcom Iโm excited for, how to make a crybaby cocktail, does dressing your age still matter? Plus: how to have a Nancy Meyers fall weekend, shopping finds, home tours, and more.

My August Wish List
I love making and sharing these monthly wish lists. It’s almost as satisfying as shopping. All month long, I pin my favorite things to a hidden pinboard, and then at the end of the month, I share my faves. This month’s wish list is heavy on Dries. Dries van Noten is easily my favorite designer (the prints and use of color are unparalleled!), and everything I’ve seen from Fall is absolutely amazing. This dress? This coat? Both are to die for. Color is also a prominent theme this month (and always). Especially this happy rainbow beaded necklace and this paper-thin cashmere long sleeve. Also: coolest ballet flats ever? I am still deciding what colorway to get. I think the white!

The Wednesday Ten, No. 20
Every Wednesday, Iโll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. Iโm excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe itโs a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe itโs an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.

Under $200 Edit
We are back with our biweekly edit of under-$200 favorites. This week’s installment has some real bangers (this chartreuse dress, this suede hobo, these Alaia-esque fishnet flats); I hope you enjoy! I am a broken record about this, but if you are new here, I have a โgreat style under $200โ section on myย ShopMy pageย that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! Both Carly and I spend quite a bit of time tracking down pieces at this price point that feel well-made, special, and fun. I aim to share a roundup like this every two weeks (the last installment isย right here)ย as there are so many great items out there that wonโt break the bank. Right now, a few personal favorites are:

Styling Last Weekโs Best-Sellers, Vol. 18
Every week onย Instagram, I share the previous weekโs best-selling products. You can always see those collections, savedย hereย on my ShopMy Page. Itโs fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we wanted to introduce a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous weekโs favorite styles and show you how to wear them. Today, we are styling this Madewell top (one of my favorite purchases of the whole summer), this elegant textured Tuckernuck top, and these chic red silk pants.
