Marianne: Sometimes it's fate.

Pssst! We added LOADS of new stuff to the shop this weekend! We're talking Marc by Marc Jacobs, anthropologie, J. Crew, and more. Check it out!

Can you believe it's been warm enough for bare legs for a whole month, and yet I haven't worn my most favorite shoes yet? I know, me either. Ever trying to come up with new and exciting outfits for you all, I dug up an ancient (truly, like I think 6 or 7 years old) Target dress, a new Target belt in a great coral color with brass hardware I like, and yeah. The shoes.



I've obviously been wearing the crap out of my super lightweight, slouchy field jacket, so when I came across something from the same brand, but a bit heavier and slightly more tailored, I snapped it up. It helps that it was 16 whole dollars. Anyway, my other jacket doesn't look as good with dresses, so I am thankful to have a cute, versatile spring jacket. Plus the lining has apples on it.



Rounding things off is this bracelet, which was kind of fated. I've admired Jessica Kagan Cushman's Nantucket Bracelets for ages, no exaggeration (like This Old Thing--love!), so imagine the look on my face when I spied one in the case at my favorite consignment store...for $3. This one reads "Quosque tandem abutere patientia nostra? (How much longer will you abuse our patience?), and I kind of consider it my totem.
