Yes to spring dress round up. My selection for weekend errands is looking a little tired and worn out.

Would love a summer sandal round up too! My favorite ones that went with everything from denim shorts to maxi skirts finally fell apart last year and I’m on the lookout for new ones!

+2 because I have two feet. I just have Birks… lots and lots of Birks and I am feeling something a little more refined and feminine this summer

A roundup of pretty, washable summer tops that aren't cut down to my breast bone and that I can wear a bra with would be appreciated!

I was in a department store buying a blazer yesterday (the Veronica beard one you suggested recently!). Finding a top to wear under it was shockingly hard. I told the salesperson I needed to be able to wear a bra with it, and to take my blazer off in a room with my male bosses without being practically naked (no, a slinky silk camisole will not work). They literally had no options for me aside from a ($$$) Nili Logan tshirt 🤦‍♀️

Ughhhhh that's so annoying re: the dearth of tops! Have you checked Sezane recently?

Expand full comment

I haven't found many options there that aren't viscose or silk which does not work for me (I get sweaty/stinky in viscose and hand washing clothing like silk is a no go). Pretty cotton tops used to be way easier to find!

Pretty please on the easy weekend dresses. It’s all I want to wear when it gets hot, and for some reason, the hardest to shop for!!

+1 on a dress roundup please! Especially suggestions for NOT linen…I want to love it so badly but the inevitable wrinkling makes it a hard no for me. Thanks!

I feel like the wrinkling varies (like if it's a blend), but I hear you on this!

I find J.Crew so hit or miss in real life but gosh that dress and the liberty bikini are so tempting! Please report back!

It has been frustratingly (for my wallet) hit for me lately.

Would love a dress round up! Are you a Xirena fan? I love to get one dress from them each Spring or Summer. My favourite fabric of theirs is the cotton - silk blend but also love the gauze! Love the DÔEN sandals. I ordered these yesterday https://www.shopdoen.com/en-ca/products/doen-k-jacques-peche-sandal-yellow

And thinking anout this dress

I love those Doen sandals too! They look like the grown-up version of Wilder's gold sandals in the best way possible!

On the subject of true crime podcasts in books, I can’t remember if you’re usually a romance reader? The wonderful Kate Clayborn’s new book has a true crime podcast as its core driver (in some ways…) and I found it fascinating

I’ve never heard of these sandals and now feel like I need to splurge for summer. I always wear the wrap teeks, but Hilary please (or anyone else too) let me know other styles from K Jacques you love! I see some are on sale on Shopbop

Absolutely YES please to a spring dress round up! I definitely have a hole in my wardrobe, so yes please.

I swear by Arizona love sandals in the summer - I used to hate them but they’re so comfy I now am used to it 😂

Livid that JCrew Canada doesn’t have the same sales as the US 😭

(As a side note, I bought the Liat x Aqua gorgeous red bloomies dress you recommended, but mine arrived with so many threads missing / not sewed or finished properly, so I had to send it back which was so disappointing as I loved it!)

I know! It was so weird, I was so disappointed as I really liked it! I bought the navy too and it was the same - I also saw on a review someone else said the same?

I’ve been trying so hard not to buy an ankle wrap sandal but you said I can wear it next year too so THANK YOU I’m buying. Mentally I went from Winter straight to Summer this year, so bring on all the Spring/Summer, I’m here for it! ☀️

Tbh they've been cool for decades. I have photos saved of Bardot & Birkin wearing them, my mom in the 70s...I truly feel like they're always good.
