 The wine delivery service Wine Simple (which uses a personalized taste profile to recommend wines you'll love) is offering RG readers 20% off with code RGVIP20. Not an ad; just a present because I like wine and I'm fairly certain you do, too.

 Like everyone on the Internet, I'm all about the off-the-shoulder tops for spring. I bought this one at BCBG the other night in white, and it comes in a blue-and-white-stripe pattern too, and both are perfect and amazing and I think you should own one. Or two.

{ From "Neighborhood Style" by Anna Wintour | New York Magazine, 1983 }

Yesterday morning Erin sent me an email with a link to an old issue of New York Magazine and the subject line "SO GOOD." You can see what she was talking about if you go to here; it's a 1983 issue of NY Mag, and if you scroll down you'll find an article on "Neighborhood Style" by Anna Wintour showcasing interiors from various NYC neighborhoods - everywhere from Greenwich Village to Hell's Kitchen to the Upper East Side, and it really is. SO good.

I couldn't find upload-able images from that article to show you (the above is just a screenshot, and it's a shame to show you these interiors in anything but the highest of hi-res), but my search sent me down a rabbit hole of amazing New York Magazine Anna Wintour shoots from 1981-1983 (when she left to join Vogue) that...well, if you've ever wondered why she's considered such a force of nature, these should clear it up.

Mother's Day is one of those holidays that, the second you give birth to a human being, becomes ENORMOUSLY important. Mostly because it means that you get to sleep in, and then maybe someone delivers you a mimosa.

(Seriously, this is a day that I look forward to all year long. F Christmas; I want breakfast in bed and I want it yesterday.)
