Tchotchkes

Topologie yellow bag

I tried to fall back in love with the city by going for an afternoon walk, so I opted for an easy bag for phone, handkerchief and keys. Good for holding See’s chocolates (they gave me TWO free samples), but alas the walk was more heartbreaking than enchanting. San Francisco is dead.

David smoking tee

Fetched from a souvenir shop in Rome during an evening stroll with my siblings. Saw this in a number of stalls, so it’s far from singular, but sometimes mass-produced tchotchkes are the best.

Nike waffle sneakers

The walk was entirely on clouds thanks to these guys. If I ever run away from this life with only a rucksack on my back, these will be the chosen ones for my immaculate feet.

There’s so much to love about this oft-neglected piece: the luxe lining, the cropped generous cut, the graphic details. But what I most love: the beautiful pockets into which I shove my hands while I wait for the crosswalk. It forces a pose well struck.

Note to self: wear the hell out of this this spring.
