I’ve been on a serious organizing kick lately, and I can’t tell you how good it feels to have an organized closet and all the space back from donating the pieces I no longer wear. Similarly, my style this summer is all about simplicity and everyday basics that I c interchange with the rest of my wardrobe. When it comes to finding new pieces that will fit right in with my existing ones, Amazon is one of my favorite places to shop. From blouses to T-shirts to summer dresses, these are a few of my current Amazon style favorites.

Memorial Day Sales 2022

Memorial Day Sales 2022 Madewell

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Here are the best Memorial Day sales from Madewell to J.Crew to Jack Rogers and more. Serena and Lily also has 20% off everything, including my favorite jute rug. I’ve had it in my office for a few years and it’s never shed! I’ve even spilled a glass of white wine on it, and you’d never know. It’s an investment but 100-percent worth it, and this weekend you can get it for even less.

A Parable

A Parable: Wise Man Built his House on the Rock, Foolish Man on Sand

A village has been built in the deepest gully of a floodplain.

At regular intervals, flash floods wipe away houses, killing all inside. Less dramatic—but more lethal—is the steady toll as individual villagers slip and drown in the marshes around them.

After especially deadly events, the villagers solemnly discuss what they might do to protect themselves. Perhaps they might raise their homes on stilts? But a powerful faction among the villagers is always at hand to explain why these ideas won’t work. “No law can keep our village safe! The answer is that our people must learn to be better swimmers—and oh by the way, you said ‘stilts’ when the proper term is ‘piles,’ so why should anybody listen to you?”

So the argument rages, without result, year after year, decade after decade, fatalities mounting all the while. Nearby villages, built in the hills, marvel that the gully-dwellers persist in their seemingly reckless way of life. But the gully-dwellers counter that they are following the wishes of their Founders, whose decisions two centuries ago must always be upheld by their descendants.
