rules of civility

I am finally starting to tackle my summer reading list. As a visual person, I always
tend to connect to narratives that paint vivid images in my mind of the main character's
sense of style.

Amor Towles', Katey Kontent, in "The Rules of Civility", instantly made me long to be
roaming around New York City in the 1930's.  I would kill to be shopping at Bendel's
and drinking at dive Jazz Clubs with her.

My handbag today is filled with receipts and pens. Here's what I predict would be in
my bag if I were kicking it in the glamourous 1930's.

What's on your summer reading list?

clutch. necklace. calling card. penny. ring. sunglasses. vintage crayons. 1930 vogue. perfume.
