Bottega is the name of the game in “It” bags at the moment — especially their coveted cassette bag, seen above — but it doesn’t stop there: woven bags and sandals throwing Bottega vibes have been cropping up all over, and at all pricepoints, too. Below, a few favorite finds in this vein…

P.P.P.S. To Mr. Magpie: “…Put differently: I am only half living when we are apart. The other half is suspended in anticipatory conversation, waiting for the moment when I can fill you in. I did not know this about marriage when I cried through our “I dos” ten years ago today. I could not have imagined, then, the way we now lay ourselves bare to one another, soul to soul, no space between us.”
