+LEMONS + GRIEF: This poem by Noor Unnahar — wow. The things we hold on to that tie us to the people we love. Another reminder that our lives become mosaics of the people we love.
+STYLING THE BASIC TEE: Another Ines Cuens style moment I could not get over! This is exactly how I want to look right now. This snap led me to wear my linen tee (similar to the one she’s wearing) twice this week, once over a swimsuit with my red shorts and once with my white eyelet maxi skirt (still a handful left, and on sale!). I also ordered my favorite t-shirt in gray (already own in white and black). I’m telling you, these shirts are IT. Perfect weight, polish, length. The best. 15% off with JEN15.
On the skirt front: she’s wearing European brand Zottier (style now sold out), but similar here. Also still have my eye on this more tailored / streamlined Byrdie (you can remove the train).
+A LAUGH: Do you follow Liam Stapleton on Instagram? Some of his impressions (Harry Potter, Borat) made Mr. Magpie and I laugh so hard we had to pause — especially set against his wife’s obvious “over it” eye rolls.
+FERAL MOM SUMMER: Thanks to a Magpie reader for sending this amazing musing on embracing the chaos of summer with young kids. I related to so much of her described experience — the tangle of sandals at the door, the caked-on sunscreen, the repeated meals of hot dogs and buttered pasta! It’s OK, friends. Lean into it. We’ll get back to discipline in September.
+PASTA SALAD SUMMER: I saw this recipe from Caroline Chambers and my mouth was watering. This is not the kind of food my husband typically enjoys but I am going to be preparing it for some girlfriends this weekend as a part of a little girls’ night at home. (Will supplement with delivery pizza and rose!)
+EYEING + BUYING + WEARING: A shortlist of some of my favorite recent buys and finds: 1) Been wearing this hat constantly — offers such great sun protection and very on-trend. The look for less is back in stock! 2) My sister brought this hilarious game to Aspen and we were crying with laughter by round three. Sort of a twist on charades? Very funny. I bought as a gift for Mr. Magpie’s aunt and cousins, who we’ll be seeing at Deep Creek Lake in a few weeks — they love games! 3) Currently testing this mousse for a little volume. 4) My fun new cherry clip (inspired by Emi Jay’s). 5) Green pants – love this color! I’ve ordered several pairs of statement pants — these, these, these — for summer over the past few weeks, but these are fun and very affordable. I’d pair with a denim button-down. 6) For my burgeoning birding hobby. 7) I did order this Bottega-inspired bag! 8) My current favorite lip/cheek color. 9) I just ordered these Adidas sneakers — the colors sang to me! 10) Viral jellies, restocked!

+AN UNDER THE RADAR BEAUTY BRAND: If your lashes are looking a little sparse — you must consider this Queen Musia growth serum mascara. I’d never messed around with any of the lash-growing mascaras before but this one is clean and features plant-based ingredients. Most importantly, it really works. I’ve used on and off over the past six months when I feel I need a little extra volume / fullness. Has a natural look as a daily mascara. I also absolutely love their lipstick in the Madame Bovary color! One of my summer go-tos. Really pretty.
+BESTSELLERS: This Veronica Beard dress (so spectacular) and this dreamy Spanx sweatshirt (part of the Nordstrom sale — if you missed out, you can also buy at Spanx for 10% off with SHOOPXSPANX).
