Amazing. Cant wait for part deux. How are the jellies from Ancient Greek Sandals holding up? The Row jellies are having a lot of breakage. Also are they comfortable to wear for long periods of time?

Part 2 should be equally as fun! As for the ancient Greeks, they are holding up nicely! The only thing that was an interesting feeling is that moisture gets trapped, but that was only for the first few wears.

I don’t think it was me, I usually go to a nail salon downtown

Excellent. Thx for info. Btw did you happen to be in a nail salon on UES in the 90s on maybe Friday? I thought it was you but I was way too embarrassed to come up to you. :)

Alex Katz is a master of color in his paintings - no wonder you loved his sartorial color combo. Loved the fall forward looks but I am roasting here as it is so will wait a few months ;)

Jalil, as a fellow owner of those Jubin pants (in two colors!) I have to ask a boring practical question: have you cleaned them? The label says dry clean only of course but in this heat a little soap and water feels fresher! I am petrified of ruining them and am dithering. Maybe it’s shame on me for buying $$$ cotton pants?

I have only cleaned them once, and I ended up sending them to the dry cleaners. Since I have the white pair, for me, I think it’s in my best interest to have the dry cleaners handle them.

Skirts over pants have always felt very early 2000s Disney red carpet and this is the first time I’ve seen it and loved it- you are a genius!

I’m a new follower, but just wanted to say THANK YOU. So much good stuff here. I snagged those vintage yellow hand towels—i adore that 1970s yellow—but also found some embroidered ribbon from the same seller that will be PERFECT as straps for a crocheted linen top I’m making right now. Made my day.

This is all SO GOOD! Thanks for the inspo.

I’m traveling and my first readthrough had to be without images because they wouldn’t load — torture. The visual feast was my first mission as soon as we were wheels down! True delight! And I am right there with you on the Saks cashmere. My security blankets! Landed in New England and I hope we toast your official career switch this summer 😘

I’m hoping to get to the cape sometime in August! We have to plan to meet while you’re here!
