I recently discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/michellejonasdesigns\/\">Michelle Jonas<\/a>, a sustainable and woman-owned label specializing in earthy, free-spirited prints\u2014all of which are handpainted or locally dyed in Los Angeles. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mijobymichellejonas.com\/\">The site<\/a> doesn&#8217;t do the collection justice.) Jonas&#8217;s silk pieces remind me of something a Rat &amp; Boa girl would graduate into\u2014sophisticated silhouettes, softer palettes, forgiving cuts that wear beautifully at every age and stage in a woman&#8217;s life. I, however, was partial to the jersey <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mijobymichellejonas.com\/collections\/dresses\">dresses<\/a>. These remind me of the good, <em>vintage<\/em> Diane von Furstenberg dresses (with a gathered waist versus a wrap to cinch) and Donna Karan&#8217;s Urban Zen (only simpler in cut and more playful in color). It&#8217;s been years since I&#8217;ve worn tie-dye, and I&#8217;m not sure if the print is quite <em>me, <\/em>but I couldn&#8217;t resist the fabric for summer. Nor can I help succumbing to nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. Another discovery while I was in the Sycamore District\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.retrospecs.com\/\">Retrospecs<\/a>. The last thing I need is an additional pair of sunglasses, but when the sales associate pulled out <em>the<\/em> coolest pair from the vault of rare vintage frames, I knew I wasn&#8217;t even going to look at the price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. I&#8217;ve been naughty with the spending, I know. But sometimes I&#8217;m powerless against the lure of retail therapy, especially when my sales associate at Bottega texts about <a href=\"https:\/\/go.shopmy.us\/p-65174047\">my dream clutch<\/a>\u2014one that I didn&#8217;t even know existed.. If you&#8217;re in Los Angeles often, ask for Marc. He&#8217;s wonderful at deducing your taste.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5.

(A thought I&#8217;ve loosely strung into words before.) So until this week, I&#8217;ve been leaving most posts unpublished. Writing without pressing &#8220;post&#8221; felt more like journaling.
