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. 

Recents...

 Things that caught my eye.

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.  

Reading material...

 Few things have have caught my eye enough to read from start to finish recently.   A few good reads for another cloudy weekend in the Northeast.

A laugh-out-loud parody about the Hamptons from Vogue. 

Sting owning a villa and winery in Tuscany is not surprising.  The fact that there is a wood-burning pizza restaurant open to the public on the premises is!   Who wants to book a ticket to Italy?

Linda Wells, of Allure fame, has a beauty and wellness subset of Air Mail.  It is one of the few things I am excited to see in my inbox.  This weeks article on the cult of Pilates, is entertainingly accurate.  

June places to go, things to see...

 The OG Birkin bag hits the auction block in Pairs this July. A girl can dream.

A visit to the newly reimagined Frick is a must this Summer.  While there, pop in to their just-opened cafe, Westmoreland. 

Beach read season, is one of my favorite seasons.  I'll read whatever Sag Harbor books is selling. 

It is Sabalenka vs. Gauff this weekend on the red clay at Roland-Garros. 

Julia Amory opens her latest shop on Jobs Lane in Southampton this weekend.  Cue printed pareos and matching set chicness. 

June moodboard...

 

Sun hats, sun dresses, summer salads.
