My Latest Snags.
My Celine phone sling arrived and she is so delightful. I received a number of questions about what it can fit, and it easily fits my iPhone 15 Pro, plus has a deep slot for a few credit cards/ID and a shallower slot where you could tuck a house key (probably not a car key though). I have been wearing it in addition to a tote bag when out with the kids, but when I’m with Mr. Magpie and knows he’ll have the keys, it’s all I need to take.
I’m wearing above with my SLVRLAKE London Crops, which I basically haven’t taken off. They’re so flattering and comfortable and just fit so beautifully. I still need to get them hemmed but I’ve loved wearing them too much to part ways with them for even a few days. Take your true size! More details on these and a few other jeans I tested recently here. The nubby little cardigan is Talbots (sold out), but you can find similar here and here.
Other new arrivals I’m jazzed about: this T3 airebrush (very impressed), these pants, Prequel’s face wash (full review pending), Roz’s root spray, and this pajama set Lunya generously sent my way, which makes me feel like a very fashionable city dweller who, like, eats raw almonds for breakfast and does pilates regularly.

Weekend Musing: Ordinary Things.
I thought this poem was spectacular. It made me think differently about the function of things in my life, and how good design is often achingly simple, and also about myself, and how I was given these two arms to hold the people in my life, to receive them.
Post-Scripts.
+My best discovery this week. $100 PERFECTION. Wear all spring long. Even good for an Easter dress! Run!
+Julia Amory is running a big sale. Do not miss this fabulous top in the punchy tangerine.
+Bottega vibes for $128. LOVE the idea of these with some white jeans (<<four favorite pairs here).
+The type of thing I keep stocked in my closet for rainy days / random car trips / doctor’s visits / etc.
+Floss and Fable has the cutest personalized/monogrammed sweatshirts for kids! Love these for boys and these for girls.
+These bunny topiaries! So cute. Also love these rose bud vases. So gorgeous with micro bouquets in each, lined up down the center of the table.
+Sweet spring lounge set for a little love.
+Seriously FUN sarong. But to wear right now, from the same brand: this gorgeous lace number in stunning emerald green.
+Gorgeous stick lamp.
+$22 pink bedside carafe! As you know, this is one of the things I like to keep in our guest bedroom.
+This embroidered dress is spectacular.
+Cutest scalloped baskets for a little girl’s room.
+Sorry to be dipping into spring finds, but these sandals are SO good. They remind me of the pair from Gabriela Hearst I was eyeing the past two years.
Négative has a lounge dress similar to Skims in their whipped fabric…I’d rather spend the money there! I like Skims fabric but find their sizing odd and elastic unforgiving, with hard edges.
Thanks for the tip! I’ve had hit and miss experiences with Skims, too — I’ll take a look at Negative! I’m obsessed with everything of theirs that I own.

I’m not drawn to poetry in general but this poem speaks to me! It feels comforting, reassuring. I like the whimsy of ascribing character to inanimate objects.
Me too – so charming! xx
Spectacular is a great word to describe the poem – good design and even the plain ol’ good in life is achingly simple.
Yes!!
That poem is one of my favorites!
Love it so much – sad I just came across it this week!

OMG tell me everything about the T3 airebrush!
Can it possibly beat the $30 revlon?!
Hi Danielle! I absolutely will. Going to dry with it 2-3 more times before giving a full honest review. Right now the major differences I’m noticing are number of settings (including a cool air setting that t3 insists “sets” your hair?) and power. Will report back soon!! Early reviews are positive.
