Sometimes it’s not the grand gesture, the dramatic sprint through the train terminal, the hand pulling you out of harm’s way.
Sometimes it’s your husband finding your knee beneath the table
and you thinking:
little does he know he’s holding the world together right now
Wild, how something as fibrous as the brush of fingertips, a knowing glance
can have enough tensile strength to carry you straight through the worst of it,
as though escaping Tartarus on Titan-back

+This blazer, in the houndstooth, is giving Veronica Beard vibes but under $120. I would temper the formality of this look by layering over a polished white tee (<<ICYMI, this is the best $15 tee) and some barrel jeans (upgrade pick: also love these, which I own in a different wash).
BLAZER // JEANS // TEE // BAG (LOOK FOR LESS) // FLATS (LOOK FOR LESS)
+BTW, this Mansur Gavriel (seen above) has been a total MVP in my fall wardrobe. It’s so easy to wear and the color is so unexpected but still acts like a neutral to me? Can be worn with basically anything but I especially love it with my brown-heavy wardrobe. I noticed its also available in a really chic “biscuit” color.
+And speaking of barrel leg, these Everlane pants were restocked after selling out! Love.
+And! Speaking of Veronica Beard vibes, VB is offering 25% off some fab current season finds with code FAVES2024. I always go straight for the blazers: this, this, this.
+Chic fall phone sling option.
+Ordered my son this breton stripe tee. I also always buy him a few of these under-$12 striped tees from Zara each season. So cute with jeans.
+If you have small feet like me, it’s your lucky day — these Isabel Marant boots are perfection and over 50% off. A few other great Outnet scores: Veronica Beard fair isle, a cropped chocolate suede jacket, a fun paisley print Zimmermann dress, and an elegant tweed jacket (also available as a dress — very Jackie O.).
+Apparently this $199 camel knit coat is a perennial bestseller. Good value for a classic look!
+Lululemon vibes for under $20.
+If you like my VB brown wide-leg jeans, you might also consider these from Paige — almost $100 less.
+Pair either with this paisley print top.
+Just did a little shop for Mr. Magpie, and I bought him this overshirt, these cords, these trousers, and this button-down. I like a lot of the styling on Sezane for men – took some notes for him! I also got him these (under $200) suede loafers and these brown sneaks. Clearly on a brown kick!
+A cool way to leave your clothes smelling gorgeous.
+If you like my denim barn jacket (was restocked recently!) but want something a little less $$, try this — currently under $100.
+My daughter LOVES statement socks – they are sort of becoming a signature fashion of hers – and she went wild over this inexpensive set I picked up at Target.
