Wimbledon...

 



Gorgeous green grass courts, all white attire, and strawberries and cream, can only mean one thing, Wimbledon!

A basket a day...


I have a soft spot for basket bags.  Every season I tell myself I am not allowed to purchase another, and every season I find myself ogling over more.  Some people collect books or stamps, I seem to collect basket bags. 
A few I have bookmarked recently:
Mercules, I love the shape and minimal leather detail. 
Kinderbrook Home, these were all over instagram this past weekend.  Looks like it will be a Jane Birkin summer.  
Jenni Kayne's black raffia tote feels very NYC a pro-pro.   
Dans-La-Main replicated a classic in seagrass.

There is only one...

 


 Everyone is up in arms over the new Ryan Murphy series, American Love Story, as they should be.  There is only one CBK!

Stuck...




I was stuck in an elevator this afternoon.  While my experience was much less dramatic, it did remind me of this scene from You've Got Mail.

Weekend reading...


 'Like many of its customers, Zitomer has recently received a facelift.'

Substack is an abyss of curated pages, but there are some finds.  The Perfect is a new-to-me find that garnered my attention with vintage LL Bean totes and a whimsical tennis hat.  

Another Substack find, Jessie Loves, from Jessie Loeffler Randall.  Her writing is relatable, and her guide to charming NYC shops is on my weekend agenda. 

Useful intel on the Hamptons

My love of sterling silver now feels validated.

June wishlist...


 Velvet might not be synonymous with Summer, but these pink mj's would be so cute with a little white dress.  

Raffia is my love language.   This tote feels like modern day Jane Birkin. 

Isabel Marant mini's just scream summer.

A city sandal.  While I love a bare sandal, the realities of living in NYC warrants a summer shoe with a little more protection.  Now the 3rd year in a row, Emme Parsons 'Bari' sandal is at the top of my list.  Close second the Staud x Birkenstock sandals.
