Elsie's Eight | August Edition

Here at Elsie Green, we have cultivated a culture of extreme inspiration - good books, delicious recipes, photographs, films, and any and everything in between. 
 
As summer winds down (how is it already time to say that?), it's time to embrace the excitement of "back to school shopping" – but with a grown-up twist. Why should your kids have all the fun?

We love a good list. We all have notes in our phones of all the shops that we have heard about that we want to visit or that are tried and true staples for us.

Early in my career, I teetered around the office in pumps, strappy sandals and boots, all with stiletto heels.  I credit that time with my chronic back pain and one foot that is sometimes numb.  But at the time I thought it was a small price to pay to be chic.
