Happy Saturday!
WHAT’S ON:
Our Augusta preorder ends tomorrow, Sunday 4/23. The original all cream version was our first true High Summer sweater… impossibly soft & light in Egyptian cotton, a sweater that can be worn all year round - morning, noon, and night. It’s also a tunic sweater - meaning is it’s longer than the average, with plenty of coverage - something we’re known for at MM!
And while Augusta was the best selling sweater of our 2022 trunk show tour (seriously, customers couldn’t believe the stitch detail & comfort IRL), it’s still somewhat hard to translate the subtle “rugby effect” of the two stitch stripe online. We knew she needed a new run for Summer 2023, in a stripe that highlighted her handmade details all the better.
We worked with our knitwear designer to highlight all those loving details for 2023, with pencil thin stripes highlighting the simpler of the two stitches. Plus, contrast trim at the polo collar, sleeve and body hems, in Bright Navy & Cream. I always like a bit brighter shade of navy for summer than the winter.
It all comes together for a look that’s perfectly nautical, sporty, and just a tad Margot Tenenbaum, or Meredith Logue - take your pick. Somehow having Augusta in my closet always makes my more classic MM sweaters (Daphne, Nina, etc…) feel a little more fizzy. It’s a laidback, eye catching Summer addition to our dependable sweater program. And, it looks great layered over a white Lands End turtleneck for shoulder seasons.
WEEKLY INSPIRATION:
Speaking of Margot & Meredith, these Augusta inspired (& MM Approved) movies may be worth a rewatch this weekend. And Cate here as Katharine Hepburn too.
It’s no secret I’m a fan of a dirty martini. While I’m usually skeptical about “trend cooking”, I find myself continually curious about this salad dressing (thanks to it’s corresponding instagram reel). It might accompany a simplified version of the usual Sunday roast chicken this week.
Finally, a few songs of the week. With our Augusta preorder in mind, Nina webstock coming soon(!!!!) and a fresh Saturday ahead, get inspired to refresh for the imminent summer season. And remember, you’re the top in our world ;)
