Hello my loves! My sincerest apologies that I've been a bit MIA while I was putting the finishing touches on my new website, but I'm back on Substack and excited to dive in. Today’s field notes are full of delicious finds and I have a more personal post for paid subscribers coming later this week about everything I bought in Paris last month (spoiler: it was my 40th birthday and I spent too much). Stay tuned!
This necklace and bracelet by éliou look like they were passed down from a bohemian great-aunt. Hand-strung with natural stones, they’re the kind of pieces I’d throw on and forget to take off. In fact, I’m wearing this one as I type.
This tank and cardigan by Suzie Kondi are very much my vibe (multicolor stripes!). Soft, marled cashmere in the prettiest palette—easy, but still pulled together. It’s available as a smart crewneck, too.
These clover-embroidered espadrilles from Loeffler Randall promise good luck and plenty of compliments. Their relaxed Mary Jane shape would pair perfectly with everything from blue jeans to summer dresses.
I’m a sucker for a statement pendant and this $48 tassel necklace looks far more expensive than it is (don’t you just love when that’s the case?).
My friend Jane and I popped into the Gagosian last week to see the new Helen Frankenthaler show and my mind was blown by the sheer scale of her work. If you find yourself in New York, it’s a must-see situation. Also, a moment for the book cover!
Leave it to Ms. Mashburn to dream up the world’s most charming summer flats. I love that they’ve been designed with a higher vamp for minimal clacking. Now I just need a ticket to Saint-Rémy.
The type of bag that not-so-quietly steals the show. This handwoven bucket bag by one of my favorite Italian brands is finished with delicate stones that catch the light in a magical way.
I’m eager to get upstate to catch Maira Kalman’s pop-up shop at the Shaker Museum in Chatham, NY. The beloved illustrator is curating an exhibition there featuring pieces from the Shaker collection alongside new paintings. The show and shop are open through July 5.
Something about Venetian glass gets me every time. The brilliant colors of this pitcher would perk up any dinner table.
A thermos to match your favorite pants.
Chic jewelry storage in jewel-toned silk.
J.Crew is offering 40% off sitewide. Some pieces I own and love: this woven tote, this linen shirt, this flattering swimsuit, this oversized button-up, and this perfect beach shirt.
The happiest new pants.
Calling all interior designers — your library needs samples of my friend Sarah’s insanely gorgeous new textile and wallpaper collection.
Have my eye on these clutches.
Julia Amory is offering an additional 25% off sale. Do we all need this caftan?
Violet Grey is offering 20% off all your fancy beauty favorites. The perfect time to splurge on treats like this cream (offer applied automatically at checkout!).
Always love peeking at last week’s bestsellers.
J.Crew Factory is offering 50% off sitewide. I can often be found in these $74 jeans.
Thanks for being here.
