1. The extremely well-reviewed J. Crew Mini Bucket Bag in Gingham has gone on sale (so has the plain, smooth leather version); while the unlined interior and stiff leather are disenchanting, I am enough of a gingham fan that I am ready to overlook these blemishes. Bright spots: reviewers claim that the leather is adaptable and becomes softer with wear, and that it is surprisingly spacious.

6. I am still frantically wedding guest dress shopping. Three dresses I
recently ordered that I am really excited about are the ASOS Bow Front Midi Dress, Lace Insert Maxi Dress, and Pephem Bandeau Midi Dress. I also really like the TFNC Off Shoulder Maxi Dress, but I am concerned that the color might be mistaken for white under bright light.
