Jen’s Weekend Drafts: The Big Question + Amy Poehler on Cringe Mountain.

By: Jen Shoop

+THE BIG QUESTION: How about this quote from Mary Oliver for a little andale today?!

+AMY POEHLER ON CRINGE AND TIMING: I have this interview between Amy Poehler, Matt Rogers, and Bowen Yang queued up for a morning walk (with my weighted vest) this weekend, but I’m already loving some of the snippets I’ve seen circulating from the podcast, seen below — especially her entreaty to “climb cringe mountain.” Yes! You might as well…! My friend and collaborator Caroline (she helps me with some aspects of running this blog) often tells me: “The world needs your art! Keep creating!” Get over the cringe! Don’t play it cool!

+EYEING + BUYING: Corded necklace are a fun nano-trend for the season. I love these ones from sister-run business Joiana (with fun charms). And then of course there are the Dorsey paracords! I have it on good authority that they will be doing more cord styles in the near future…and another note: my sister and sister-in-law have been raving about this hand cream with a cult following. I can’t wait to try!

JOIANA CORD NECKLACES AND CHARMS // VERONICA BEARD DRESS // AQUAZZURA GLASSES (IMAGINE ENJOYING A MARG OUT OF THESE!) // SCAROSSO BOAT SHOES // SEZANE TOTE // THERAPLUSH HAND CREAM // ALIGNE WAIST COAT AND SHORTS // BEEK SANDALS (LOOK FOR LESS HERE)

+FRENCH CHATEAU ENERGY: I wrote a week or two ago that I want my 50s to be “my French chateau era” — not literally, just in ethos. A big open kitchen; doors through which a dog wanders in and out; sun and tomato vine and that endless summer feeling. I realized this week that I have been subconsciously clinging to the lifestyle of long time creator Vivi et Margot — her Instagram feed seen below! Wow! Goals for my 50s.

+FOR LAUGHS: Playground designers…lol. “So the kids are just like shouting into the void?” “Yeah, that’s good.”

+OUR SIGNATURE SUMMER SCENT: We burned The Hamptons candle all summer long and my sister later described it as “the Shoop signature scent.” Yes! Hotel Lobby just restocked and I secured a bunch for the season ahead. Also make great gifts.

+BESTSELLERS: These fun patchwork sneakers! I ordered, too!

01. FLOWER MOUNTAIN SNEAKERS // 02. RAG + BONE BUTTON-DOWN (ON SALE) // 03. BEST UNDERWEAR // 04. LEE RADZIWILL BAG // 05. OSSA PHONE WRISTLET // 06. LARROUDE FLATS // 07. J. CREW SANDALS // 08.
