+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) Sadly, stripe icon Kule is permanently closing :(. You can shop their end-of-an-era sale here before they shutter their doors.
4) Insanely pretty chocolate brown knit dress.
5) I’ve entered my Salomon sneaker era. Have been wearing these all over the place this week.
6) Helix launched its Labor Day Sale early — 20% off sitewide. These are absolutely LUXE mattresses. You can take a quiz to determine the best fit for you.
7) 30% off at Madewell this weekend. You might consider these perfect linen pull-ons as a tide-over til fall or snag these Ruti-esque draped barrel pants (good for fall work wardrobe!)
8) Negative marked all of its swim down! Has anyone tried this brand for swim?! Love the look of this sexy one-piece for adult swim time! Meanwhile, in the full price section: a new striped iteration of my favorite lounge pants ever.
+BESTSELLERS: This mockneck sweatshirt! Grab while still in stock — you will live in this. Trust!

Those 90s-style khakis are the khakis I’ve been LOOKING FOR!!
Right?! My sister was in town over the weekend and kept referencing “90s Meg Ryan style” and saying she wanted to wear khakis like she did in “When Harry Met Sally.” I’m into it…!
