Jen's Weekend Drafts: Chic at 89 + Mary Oliver on Prayer.

+A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ISABELLA D’ORNANO: I hope I’m 1/100th this fabulous at the age of 89. Geez is she not the chicest lady?!

+MARY OLIVER ON PRAYER: It doesn’t have to be the blue iris!

+IT’S A DAISY EDGAR JONES FALL! I’m SO excited for both “Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow” (my review of this insanely good book here) and Sense and Sensibility, both starring Daisy Edgar Jones, this fall! (She’s one of my bang muses. Sadly, my hair stylist has been traveling / I’ve been traveling and I haven’t had a bang trim in like two months so my bangs are more like long layers at this point. Anxious for my September haircare date for a refresh!). What other movies are you looking forward to this fall?

+IS EVERYONE WATCHING STERLING POINT? After I shared what I’m watching/reading two weeks ago, “Sterling Point” (see The Everymom’s reporting on it here) came on the scene. Are you tuned in? Landon and I just watched the first episode last night. We’re pulled in enough for a second ep but not totally sold. This is one of the first times I’ve felt genuine friction between my M.O. as an elder millennial and the gen z vibe. I can’t put my finger on it, but I feel such a profound age/culture gap between the characters in that show and myself. Is anyone else feeling this way?

+AN INSANELY GOOD OFF THE BEATEN PATH SALE TO SHOP: I feel like no one talks about Altuzarra but they make the most exquisite leather goods and knitwear and they’re running an amazing end of season sale with outrageous discounts. The sale includes items to wear now and items to pull out in a few weeks time —

+LEO TOLSTOY ENCAPSULATES THE CREATIVE’S PIT OF DESPAIR IN 11 WORDS: If you’ve ever created something / written something / worked on something, you recognize this sentiment immediately. LOL. You’ll be relieved to know every writer goes through this. Keep going.

+SOLDOUT’S NEW ARRIVALS: Are next level good. Use code JENSHOOP for 15% off sitewide.

STRIPED TEE // ELEVATED SWEATS // RUGBY POLO // SHORT SLEEVED POLO

+WEEKEND SHOPPING: Burrowing deeper into my fall self with this week’s picks.

First up: the loungewear you’ll wish you’d already ordered come October 1: the elite waffle knit pullover in mink with matching lounge pants and bra. Can you even imagine pulling this on, pouring a glass of red wine, and enjoying a cozy movie or reading night?! Or maybe packing for a fall getaway?

+The Altuzarra woven, wear-with-anything, wool sweater that is somehow marked down from almost $1000 to $350.

+My friend was wearing one of these chic necklaces over the weekend! It’s a look for less for Adina Reyter!

+Literally gasped when I saw this gorgeous new tan denim jacket from Ulla J. Also comes in a dark rinse denim — note that this color wash is trending in denim this fall!

+Speaking of dark rinse denim, this denim silhouette is Rails’ best-selling and they just released in the perfect deep rinse AND it comes in a petite inseam.

+Love these pochettes from Liffner for fall.

+Margaux’s iconic demi flats in a new biscotti suede.

+CHIC brass lamp for a study.

+Absolutely adorable quilted jacket for a little one — the heart pockets!

+Low profile sneakers are IT for fall — these chocolate suede ones from new-to-me brand Oncept are some how on sale here!

+The best hand cream ever (I use this nightly) is 10% off. They almost never run sales; this is the time to buy.

NEGATIVE WAFFLE KNIT PULLOVER, PANTS, AND BRALETTE // SOFT SERVICES HAND CREAM // BRASS LAMP // ALTUZARRA SWEATER // LIFFNER CROC POCHETTE // INITIAL NECKLACE // RAILS GETTY JEANS // ULLA JOHNSON JACKET // MARGAUX FLATS // QUILTED HEART JACKET FOR GIRLS // ONCEPT SNEAKERS

+BESTSELLERS: The Luna pant (we’re collectively thinking about transition-to-fall dressing) and Cuyana’s new tria clutch (which both my mother and I ordered as well) took the lead as top-sellers this week.
