Since I received Wardrobe Crisis by Clare Press right before our vacation + didn't want to risk losing a library book, I didn't get the chance to finish it before the due date. I will say that it is unlike other books on this topic. It puts the fashion industry into the greater context of history + brings topics like the skillful craft of clothing making to life quite well this way. I will definitely be looking forward to getting my hands on this one again soon! 

Pure Style by Jane Cumberbatch might have been the first decorating book I ever bought. I remember coming across it in a shop in Denver + it spoke so deeply to me of simplicity + beauty. I revisit every so often + it serves as a sort of realignment for me. Nothing feels dated even after all of these years.

​Personal style.
Eye candy.
​The hard way. (thanks, Jo!)
​Sourcing.

An "edgy capsule"...versatile too.
Zero-waste morning.

Hope you are having a simple, lovely weekend!

Love,
​Jane

Clare Press is brilliant and her podcasts make for thoughtful listening. On my walk through the woods this afternoon I listened to her chat with Patagonia's Director of Philosophy. Isn't that a fantastic job title?
Pure Style never goes out of style! I bought my copy in Sydney when it was first published and it'll be on our bookshelves forever. I met Jane Cumberbatch on her stall at the Dulwich Art Trail a couple of years ago. She's a really warm and friendly person.
Your Weekend Reads + Such posts are always a joy to read.

Such a good job title! Your walk sounds lovely! I'd have kept Pure Style as well, if we hadn't moved. Jane just seems like the most lovely, down-to-earth person. So good to hear that that was your experience- lucky! :) Thank you for your sweet words, Jo! They mean so much- truly! :)

I love the Pure Style book! I've had it forever and, yes, it doesn't date.
