Best of the Looks, Best of the Books 7/9/10
For a short week, this week was loooong! Does anyone else feel like that during shorter work weeks? I’m heading to New York for the first of three weekends in a row to help set up for An Ideal Husband, a play that Joe is producing, running over the next two weeks in the West Village. If you’re in the city, go see it! It’s going to be great.
I saw this on The Sartorialist yesterday and gasped at how much I love everything about it. The shoes, the bold color contrast of indigo and yellow, the belt, the sunglasses, even the ponytail. I just want it all.
Best of the Looks:
The NY Times examines the recent flurry of fashion community sites where users can comment on others’ outfits and style
I absolutely adore these Kara Ross rings {via Dilly Dallas}
Sterling Style has a helpful fishbraid video tutorial
Best of the Books:
READ THIS essay by Steven Church–“I’m Just Getting to the Disturbing Part”
An interesting NY Times Op-Ed on the power of reading printed books over reading on the Internet
The Paris Review interviews Sloane Crosley (yeah, who doesn’t want to be her?)
A thought-provoking Vernacular post on race in fiction and writing workshops
Quirky notebooks at Swiss Miss
These book cover designs for Faber’s 2010 Poetry Collection are gorgeous
That Sartorialist look is one of my faves , too!
Ooh, I didn’t know Sloane Crosley had a new book out! I Was Told There’d Be Cake made me laugh out loud.
These are the rings I am obsessed with right now: http://tinyurl.com/27pms68
