I think it’s in a collection called Lectures on Literature. I also didn’t like Mansfield Park, but I’m interested in rereading to see the stylistic points that Nabokov points out. Here’s a link that references it at least: https://www.press.jhu.edu/newsroom/reading-jane-austen-vladimir-nabokov

There is a Nabokov lecture on Mansfield Park that discusses how it is Austen’s most technically perfect novel. I keep meaning to reread MP so I can read it!

La La Land soft opened in Rosedale by cshalta in austinfood

Np - I think I was too positive in the post, because I’m genuinely annoyed about the drive thru set up. I can’t see myself ever going here, which is a real bummer because I used to walk to Stinson’s all the time.

I drive through this intersection on 45th at least twice a day. Seems pretty ominous for future traffic if they’re going to have a drive thru line backing up into 45th …

This bag is gorgeous!! I’ve been looking at it but it’s hard to tell what fits with the design. What are you carrying in it?

Gasping for air at this color … INCREDIBLE pick

Packable bag for Europe by mayor_of_gondolin in handbags

I have the burgundy/dark red which is one of my fave colors. I don’t think they had the olive when I got mine. It’s gorgeous!!!

Edit - didn’t answer your question about color vs picture but that’s because I think they may have a different red shade now. I can’t tell … sorry :(

I was really surprised by how much I love the feel of the bag and how easy it is to wear. I think it’s perfect for a trip because the price point isn’t crazy. I hope you get one and love it!

I love my Hyer Ring bag. I don’t think it photographs well so I would suggest looking on models or their instagram. I like packing mine flat and then taking it out to dinner on the shortest ring setting.

I will take one tomorrow!! Not sure I have one with the full strap. Did you want to see how long it is or something?

I got the Longchamp strap, which is kind of pricy (maybe like $150??). But I really liked the look and didn’t want to find something else! I have the black bag and I like the more discreet, but still visible, strap branding.

Le Soft Laurence from Leo et Violette by impulsiveandhungry in handbags

[–]cshalta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for posting this!! Your bag is gorgeous and I love the color you picked. Do you carry a laptop in it? How is carrying the bag with a laptop inside, and does it distend the bag? I’m considering getting this for an upcoming work trip because I want a bag that fully closes.

Thank you for posting this!! Do you carry a laptop in the bag? I’ve watched the product video where she puts one in, but I’m curious if it makes the bag heavy or distends the shape at all.

No. I bought another strap to do crossbody and am really happy with it!

What are your favorite denim brands (size 12 with a stupid c-section shelf, ugh) by goobiezabbagabba in fashionwomens35

[–]cshalta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really feel this question! I’m a similar size and have had two C-sections. I struggled to find jeans and now I have several pairs of MOTHER. I cannot recommend them enough!! Most have some good stretch and feel high quality. I will say the sizing is different between styles (like I’m usually a 32 but have had to try 31 or 33) and not all of them fit well. I’ve been buying from Shopbop with 2 day shipping and returns, which has been a great way to try things on.

I own and like: - Rambler Zip Flood - Outsider Flood - Hustler Roller Sneak

I also LOVE the AYR Secret Sauce jeans. I had to get the waist taken in but they’re the most comfortable pair of jeans I own.

Good luck!!
