Jen’s Weekend Drafts: Literary Massachusetts.

By: Jen Shoop

+A SNOB’S GUIDE TO LITERARY MASSACHUSETTS?: I thought this Town + Country carousel was intriguing. Don’t know about the use of the word “snob” but how fun would it be to put together a literary-themed getaway, visiting writers’ homes, etc? Particularly in the fall?

+ANNE LAMOTT INTERVIEW WITH AMY POEHLER: A great listen. Absolutely delightful. Full of insight, warmth, and good humor. A perfect healing morning walk companion for this August Saturday.

+HOUSEMAID: If you’re a thriller lover: Landon and I thoroughly enjoyed this dark and twisty watch earlier this week. Amanda Seyfried was excellent in it, even if the plot didn’t entirely hold together. (I feel like several Magpies enjoyed this book, too? I remember a lot of hype around it.). File away for your fall thriller watching queue! Any other great thriller/horror recs recently? We usually stockpile a list and watch come October.

+ALICE PILATE IN ALEX MILL: I thought Alice was perfectly cast as a model for Alex Mill’s new collection. The way she wears and styles her clothing makes me want to purchase it all. Do I need loose-fit, 90s-era khakis and a cardinal red sweater?!

+WEEKEND SHOPPING:

1) Love these just-launched mules from Freda Salvador in their iconic woven treatment! Obsessed with the idea of these and Leset poplin pants as we head into fall.

2) Speaking of Leset, they just released the most spectacular color of their iconic Barb pant. SO CHIC with a sweater in the same color or maybe a dark aubergine.

3) Insanely pretty chocolate brown knit dress.

4) I’ve entered my Salomon sneaker era. Have been wearing these all over the place this week.

+BESTSELLERS: This mockneck sweatshirt! Grab while still in stock — you will live in this. Trust!
