EDITOR'S NOTE

I don’t live under a rock, but it wasn’t until I was chatting with my coworkers that I learned how popular Free People is. I haven’t shopped the brand since I was in middle school (during its ultra-boho days), but it turns out they have a ton of adult-appropriate pieces that are too good to pass up:

• Some barrel jeans that even come in a short inseam.

• A pair of classic overalls for the weekends.

• The viral striped sweatshirt that’s long enough to throw on over leggings.

Reads

Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten

• The story: It’s the memoir you’ve recently seen in the news. Ina Garten’s long-awaited Be Ready When the Luck Happens is finally here, and we couldn’t be more excited (except for when a recipe says “store-bought is fine”). Garten pulls back the curtain on her TV-perfect life — with chapters on growing up in Connecticut, falling in love with Jeffrey, and buying a little shop in the Hamptons that ended up being the catalyst for the Barefoot Contessa empire. You’re going to want to listen to the audiobook version of this one, as it’s narrated by Queen Ina herself. Grab some good olive oil while you’re at it.
