Playlist

Oh hi. Yes, I'm alive. Presenting... a new Playlist for what has been an insane month so far! I'm officially one year older as of Saturday, New York has finally decided to embrace warmer weather (I know I'm going to regret saying that when it's 99 degrees this summer) and, well, everyone seems a whole lot happier! Funny what a difference a few warm days can make. Anyway...

You'll be most pleased to discover that this month's playlist maintains the high standard of being completely random. Welcome to the inside of my brain. Fellow Spotify users, CLICK HERE TO LISTEN and/or follow me @notetosarah. Happy listening! 

P.S. Happy belated Mother's Day to you mommas out there. 

Worth Noting

Aren't you proud of me with my posting this week? Having the blog go down in a cyber attack (not against me,  but against Say Media, which operates my blog platform host) made this girl miss something she hadn't missed in a long time.

Anyway, this week there seems to be a lot of reading happening here. Prepare yourselves. (Sorry I'm not sorry). Good things Worth Noting:

EXPLORING: R29 Creative CELEBRATING: Holiday Magazine! (photo by Garance) READING: Rebekka Bay & The Gap in Bloomberg Business Week LOVING: François Halard, Rizzoli $42  ENJOYING: Paris in Four Months

Hers / Mine

 

Oh hey, old favorite style column. Glad to see you again.

This look! I love how clean and chic it is, but the best part is the simplicity—a blank canvas top and bottom, a seasonal jacket, interchangeable shoes and accessories. This is a uniform, and I'm all about that concept these days. Let's be real: this is exactly what one needs when tearing through their closet at 7 o'clock in the morning throwing a "I have nothing to wear!" mental tantrum. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything... Ahem.

(Hers &) MINE: To create it, try a [not pictured] Downtown field jacket, J.Crew $148 (or maybe a Schoolboy Blazer?) on for size with a delicate circle necklace, Jennifer Zeuner $135 over a cozy, comfy lightweight sweater. Maybe this Equipment FR Sloane cashmere sweater $270 (or A.P.C. alternate $215)? And of course, white skimmer jeans, Gap $27 (or even Madewell Rail Straight jeans $98). Yes, her classic navy pumps are great. But I'd probably opt for something a little more wild, like these cool Arabelle D'Orsay flats, Anthropologie $225. And I think I might have to snatch up this convertible hobo and cross-body bag, J.Crew $238 in the 30% off sale. It's so versatile!

Easy Espadrilles

Why do I keep blogging about shoes? I don't know. Maybe because I walk at least 2 miles a day to and from work—at least, I do when I'm feeling motivated and the weather is nice. Needless to say, I hate the thought of wearing anything that can't last the journey. Entering warmer months, I'm looking to this signature shoe to make it work. Aren't they cute? (Image via)

Also, I made a new espadrille print. That's love, baby.

The goods: 1. Mara cap-toe calf hair espadrille, Loeffler Randall $225 (I just got these! They're super comfy and well-made.) 2. Lynn espadrille flat, Sam Edelman $70 3. Neon lace espardrille, Rebecca Minkoff $175 4. Soludos Barca Striped espadrille $43 5. Mara cap-toe espadrille, Loeffer Randall $195 6. Steven by Steve Madden Lanii flats $99
