Recently, Liza Corsillo has been struck with the undeniable urge to dress like a toddler. She covets “lots of pattern-mixing, long-sleeve tees with wacky illustrations, Velcro sneakers, princess gowns over pants, and balloon-y sweats.” I saw this firsthand in the office today: She was wearing Jungmaven disco pants (they’re very soft) under an oversize denim button-down. It’s working! Also on her mind: Easy Spirit loafers as she transitions out of Blundstone season and a nice-looking laundry basket to hold her clean stuff until she finds the energy to put it all away (relatable).

Also on the site: Hilary Reid and Kitty Guo checked out the new, massive Printemps in Fidi. (A quarter of the store will be stocked with French brands only available there.) And Ambar Pardilla messaged me to announce we named Everlane’s Air Long-Sleeve Tee our new pick for best long-sleeve tee.

This morning, Rachael Griffiths posted a question in our chat: “Wonder if anyone could help me ID these Merrells … They were brown suede and had a big M on the side but were flatter in the sole than walking boots.”

Within seconds, Liza had identified them as the Merrell Relay Fly. Here they are on eBay and on Poshmark.
