We’re headed back to the Vineyard tomorrow to prepare our house for New England’s fall and winter temperatures. Great weather is forecasted and I’m looking forward to a beautiful day for “the crossing.”
I hope that you have something good planned for your weekend.
- We got one of these champagne stoppers and it works great!
- I want to make Jenny’s hasslebacks (and maybe the horsekillers too).
- Good news for our feet. Flats are more lovely than ever. Choices range from simple loafers to extravagant, embellished options. (I’ll cover the many wonderful mules another day.)
- You cannot have too much leopard.
- These embroidered pointy toe loafers are swoon-worthy. Yes please.
- Sheep and pom poms. Whimsy abounds.
- Black velvet and embroidery. A wee bit out of my price range, but so luxe.
- Suede, tassels and rounded toes. Classic simplicity and comfort.
- Polka-dots and Mary Jane straps. I love how they are paired with striped shorts in the photo. Nice contrast.
- Tie-Ankle D’Orsay. I think that D’Orsay is one of the most flattering style shoes, with or without a heel.
- Driving moccasins in suede or leather. Do these ever go out of style? I like the Oakmoss color.
- I look forward to Cup of Jo posts. If you or someone you love is about to give birth to twins, maybe you will like this suggestion from a Cup of Jo’s reader:
“Twin advice from a twin: Don’t tell them who is older until they are 18! My parents did this with my sister and I and it was a bonding thing. Man we thought they were soooo lame but we NEVER fought about it, never held it over each other’s head and then a few months before college we had a big party and they told us and got us engraved necklaces with our birth times. It was beautiful and perfect and secretly I think I always knew I was baby B. I tell all twin parents this. It was so lovely and is still something my twin and I talk about.” - Forget to do a regular breast self-exam each month? I just added a reminder to my calendar for the first day of every month. Here’s how to do a self-exam.
Did you know that, while much rarer than with women, men get breast cancer too?
