Well, spring is just about here. My daughter traipsed around in a strange mismatched outfit the first day it hit 70 this week -- striped Petit Bateau tee, differently striped Classic Prep shorts, and pink sandals too small for her feet -- and I realized I needed to place some orders. I bought micro these sage green Vejas, as a lot of his wardrobe is skewing that way thanks to Minnow's darling clothing options. He also has these slip-on plimsolls in the canvas/white color for slightly dressier occasions, and I'm going to buy him the next size up in these inexpensive sandals from Target, which are SO easy to put on (velcro in back) and great when kids' afternoon involves pool/sprinkler. (I especially liked these in NYC, when my children seemed always to wind up in the splash pads of Central Park's playgrounds. So fun for them. Natives are also a good option for that lifestyle.). Speaking of, I also just added Natives in red for micro and in the beautiful skip blue for mini to my cart. Mini is set with sneakers -- she has these Vejas and a new pair of Golden Goose sneakers I found in pristine condition at TheRealReal for a song -- but I did order her white Cienta t-straps (<<ON SALE!) and the two open-toed shoes in my cart are these sandals and these ones (in lavender -- I know the white or metallic are much more practical but I just love that color so much!) for her for the summer.
Have you watched many of this year's Oscar nominees? I've only seen a few, but I did not like "Power of the Dog" (full review here -- I know my take is a bit controversial as people seem to love this movie), I thoroughly enjoyed "West Side Story" (the lead gal's voice!!! -- I'd actually never seen the original and so was totally shocked by the plot, though I thought the lead guy was a bit wobbly in acting? I found him difficult to believe), LOVED "Dune" (epic in every sense -- setting, music, scope of plot) but doubt very much it will win, and thought Will Smith in "King Richard" was dazzling. I typically find that it's difficult to overlook the mega-famous, uber-celebrities in lead roles, i.e., "Oh look, it's Will Smith pretending to play tennis" but I found him absolutely exceptional in this role. I forgot I was watching Will Smith! The movie was otherwise pleasant, watchable, and interesting (I loved learning about the Williams sisters), but I did not think particularly profound in the way I typically imagine Oscar winning films. It did not provoke or push me to think differently about the medium or even the subject matter. But Will Smith! Wow! Hope he wins for best actor.
I'd like to squeeze in viewings of "Nightmare Alley" and "Belfast" before the ceremony on the 27th -- any other must-sees or endorsements? Who should win?
P.S. Some possible Oscar snack ideas in this post (scroll down for list of snack/appetizers organized by level of difficulty).
+I've been seeing a lot of chic peas wearing dramatic quilted coats this spring, and this reversible (!) Veronica Beard has been getting a lot of attention. Also love this one from The Great and you can get the look for less with this (on sale from over $500 to $150! -- love those pockets!) or this Target score (also available in a more cropped silhouette).
