Float off into the flyleaf,
carrying a new alphabet under your tongue.
Let the language behind you rename everything:
see the common grass as a headstrong green,
or the everyday sky as a serene cerulean,
or the ordinary tree as a breathing castle of branches.
Mainly, see how unalone you are, and have always been,
with this great company of words.
Post-Scripts.
+The above is excerpted from my book! You can order a signed copy here — Landon handles all the orders so lovingly, and I basically do a little dance around my studio every time an order is placed. I’m still tucking in special prints and bookmarks with each signed copy order! Related: I’m super excited (almost itching to announce) additional book tour stops this fall in Virginia, North Carolina, and Massachussetts. Stay tuned! Magpie bat signal!!!
+An adjacent reminder that there are many reasons to read. (Sometimes we read to be less alone!)
+The bad book girl strikes again.
+A place for our thoughts on Belle Burden’s memoir and Yesteryear.
Shopping Break.
+You know I loveeee these striped pants. These are THE trend for right now.
+Swooning over this new silhouette from Asha. Gorge.
+Obsessed with these woven boat shoes, and they’re 50% off. Have actually gotten a lot of wear out of these boat shoe mules. I’d thought they might be difficult to style but they look great with almost anything at all. Shorts and tee, midi skirt, boxer shorts, etc!
+Recently wore a denim midi skirt and was reminded of how fantastic and versatile they are. Mine is old Pistola (<<they still sell my exact style in a denim wash for like $55!) but Quince and Gap also make great versions. Looks great with a statement blouse like this or a cute striped sweater.
+Speaking of statement blouses: your future (fall) self will thank you for this.
+LOVE these nautical striped pants.
+Birdie is known for its golf attire, but I love this ready-to-wear Newport collection they launched! This polka dot dress is insanely chic…! And this gingham column skirt!
+Cute reverse fleece sweatshirt. I own this in pink! LOVE. Rock and roll energy.
+This in-shower oil is divine — recently restocked. The smell is beyond spectacular — like a sun-filled vacation — but not cloying in the least.
+A perfect utility dress. Look for less here.
+Love this sailboat print skirt.
