Ahhh, the joys of black friday / small business saturday / green friday or DTC friday (I think both already passed) / cyber monday / and whatever other fauxlidays the commerce engine that is us dreams up … suddenly I MUST HAVE every little thing I’ve seen on insta, or pinned on pinterest, and because…
OVERALLS I don’t know what they’re made of, I don’t know how to explain how to get to the store that appears to have no regular hours (I pushed open an ajar door), I don’t even know how on earth I, of all people, ended up COVETING a pair of overalls but I did and…
Because it took two months to pick a birthday present (this Heist leather bar necklace & fringe cuff), I started this list in November—and also because, well, I maybe went a little overboard shopping for the house and need to curb my spending stat. We’ll just rely on the promise of Christmas gifts to keep…
Kerbey Lane is home to a host of adorable old houses, but you’d be for forgiven for never noticing them, even when you’re waiting for your table at Kerbey Lane Cafe. Most of them house random businesses—Drumz, I’m looking at you—so when colorful Adirondack chairs draped in Mexican blankets suddenly appear, they catch your eye.…

When my trekking backpack won’t do, and my ski backpack probably would—it’s done week-long trips in Hawaii and Morocco, after all—my upcoming two-week trip through Europe seems like a great excuse for a new travel backpack. Here are a few I’m eyeing … Adult Backpacking Backpacks Shop packs at this link (NOT affiliate links). Extras:…
Couplets of brands on my mind right now: I’m Lovin’: Brazil Pants – um, it took a few tries to get it right, but my houndstooth pants (second skin comfortable) and jakar shorts (textured! yet soft) are in heavy rotation these days. Trade Coffee – a coffee recommendation engine that actually works; the Costa Rican…
What a year! More to come on that but suffice it to say that I, like many others if instagram is to be believed, say good riddance to 2017. This week, though, has been wonderful—family time on family time on family time, with a hilarious road trip, remote working, “cheese” shopping, and getting to meet…
Remember when Patagonia introduced recycled down in their beyond-fab Bivy jackets and I was obsessed? I’m—if possible—even more obsessed with their new recycled cashmere collection. We took cashmere scraps, spun them with five percent virgin wool for strength, and created a luxurious new cashmere collection with a much lower ecological impact than virgin cashmere. 95%…
