In a completely different note, did you see that we share the details of the summer reading guide this week? Many of you have communicated to ask about the date of this year’s guide: it is May 15 and More information (including this year’s topic!) It is here.
I hope you have something to expect this weekend, and that this collection of interesting readings and favorite things help you relieve you in that weekend mood.

This classic j.crew chambray shirt (00–24) It is working very hard for my wardrobe at this time! It has been my spring layer for these first spring days. (I have 5’9 ″ and I like 8.) In that layer of layers, this Evereve camp jacket (XS – XL) was one of my best spring purchases last year and is also fabulous in so many tops and spring sweaters.
