Weekend Reading 04.26.25

Happy weekend, ladies. It’s turned cold, windy, and downright nasty here. I love, and I hate that, but nothing much is on our agenda, so I can stay in and hunker down to finish my book. What are you reading these days?
Crossed my radar:
- I love Robert Downy Jr., and his latest sartorial statement proves just how chic brooches can be.
- I don’t need another straw bag for spring/summer, but if I did, this one is brilliant!
- Ten senior discounts that save you a ton of money.
- I was so excited for these shoes to arrive. They are amazingly comfy and fit my foot perfectly, but they squeak like I’m passing wind with every step…so they’re going back. Maybe these lower-footbed ones will be better.
- This Madewell U-link Chain necklace looks identical to my Tiffany Hardware bracelet and is a fraction of the cost!
- Athleta has once earned my loyalty with so many great pieces, and this white shirtdress looks like another winner.
Bestsellers this week:
- These Lands’ End Flip-Flops were a bestseller this week.
- My Marine Layer dress was also very popular.
- This J. Jill linen shirt is on its way to many readers. It comes in 6 colors, sizes reg, petite, and tall, XS-4X.
- My Navy gauze vacation dress is also a reader favorite this week.
- This Chantecaille Tinted Moisturizer, which I love so much, is also a best seller.
Sales of Note:
HAVEN WELL WITHIN has 30% off your entire purchase. This pretty linen-tiered skirt is lined in 100% cotton. It would pair beautifully with this organic cotton & linen sweater in a soft ivory stripe. This chambray maxi skirt is also a great piece and will be nice and cool in the hot weather.
EILEEN FISHER is giving 25% off sale items. This crinkle silk shirt is gorgeous, and I’m seriously tempted at this price. I have this organic linen layering tank in several colors, and it’s fabulous. These washable flex-ponte trousers are fabulous…and they landed in my cart.
BODEN is giving 25% off everything with the code KN4H. If you love color, this embroidered linen tassel dress is “selling like hotcakes”.
J. CREW has up to 50% off summer-ready styles, including this classsic shirt in eyelet linen which is on it’s way to me :). The mix of classic with eyelet and linen is what did it for me.
CHICOS has mix and match linen with 40% off 2 or more linen pieces plus up to 50% off markdowns.
TALBOTS friends and family sale is on with 30% off your entire order.
In case you missed it:
Thanks for reading! Be sure to wear what makes you feel confident.

I LOVE that tea cup. I have a nice collection, most of which belonged to my grandma.
I would have walked out with you. If you don’t feel well you should stay home.
Am I missing something? The comments about your leaving a class due to someone who was clearly sick – where is that in this post? I’ve searched through it all and don’t see it.
