podcasting.

I was marooned in a café recently, minding my own business, when a couple of bros sat behind me and began to wax expert on some kind of startup that at least one of them was very passionate about. There was a lot of dude-ing involved. I don't know what exactly they were talking about but I do know that they were talking very loudly and that I was des-per-ate for it to stop. And desperate for anything else to drown out the noise. 

Enduring their conversation did have the happy benefit of reminding me that I've been wanting to share a few favorite podcasts where I get to listen to women wax expert, or, be experts, or interview experts. Or just be generally funny.

Unless I'm doing something with my hands, or editing photos, I can't work very well while listening to podcasts, but when I am doing those things, podcasts make working by myself so much less boring. In case the same is true for you, here's a little list of podcasts that I've been listening to lately. (I promise this isn't my not-very-covert way of getting you to listen to podcasts that have had me as guests. It's just that I've had the total pleasure of getting to make a few guest appearances on the shows of badass women this year.)

2 Dope Queens: I snarf a minimum of five times per podcast. Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams are hilarious (and smart and touching) in this hysterical podcast where they riff on race and love and New York City among other things. They bring on comedian friends to do a bit for each podcast. It's short and funny and so good. PSA: It's not for the delicate of spirit, so if you're not comfortable with a bit of adult language every now and then, this might not be the right fit for you. (Subscribe in iTunes.)

Call Your Girlfriend: I don't know why it took me so long to really get into this podcast from Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow, but I'm so glad that I finally started listening more regularly. I loved this episode with Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen. It's so refreshing to hear a fellow blogger speak candidly about the work of her work (if you know what I mean). Also this one on periods, because obviously. (Subscribe in iTunes.)

Why Do We Have Things: Rita Mehta, who runs the American Edit, started this podcast with Erin Husted of Hackwith Design House at the beginning of this year. The podcast is a series of conversations with independent designers, artists, and small business owners (and your occasional book-writing blogger;)) about what they do and why they do it. Thoughtful conversations on creative process, product design, ethical businesses, and…stuff! My favorite topic of all. (Subscribe in iTunes.)

A Few Things With Claire and Erica: I've mentioned here before how much I love the weekly newsletter from Of A Kind founders, Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo. Their podcast is like a deep-dive into a few of the things they mention there, with the added bonus of getting to listen to the two of them finish each other's sentences. It's fun and funny and I learn something new every time I tune in. (Subscribe in iTunes.)

That's So Retrograde: When I was out in LA, I chatted away with Elizabeth Kott and Stephanie Simbari on their very-California-in-the-best-possible-way podcast. I especially liked their latest episode on zero-waste. (Also def comes with a parental advisory; you've been warned, kids.) (Subscribe in iTunes.)

growing a minimalist wardrobe: on trend.

I use the subway as my barometer. Once I've officially started a seeing a pattern of women wearing the same confusing thing on the subway, I  know it's a trend. Inevitably, I'm late to the party. Flared jeans hacked off above the ankle and hovering above a pair of clunky white leather sneakers? Surely this girl's marching along to her own drummer, I think. But then I get off the subway and I see another woman with the same crop. Same loose threads a flying. Same white sneaks. 

Oh. It's a thing. With rules. Now I'm on the lookout.

How many pairs do I see on the streets in a given day? One pair? Two pairs? Now they're at the park, too? It's official. I start wondering how long it will be until a pair wends its way into my life. A month? Two? Three years from now, when I finally climb aboard only to discover that people are now wearing jeans with zippers in the knees? I don't know. Maybe they never make it into my drawer-or onto my body-at all.

Here's the thing: you've got to find your own way. You either dig something or you don't. And sometimes you come around to something and sometimes you don't. Sometimes a trend seems so abhorrent that you're just positive you'll never and then your friend who always looks fabulous shows up wearing a pair of cropped flares and before you know it the thing that looked bizarre looks amazing. So chic!

It's funny how these things crop up. (Pun, of course, intended.)

One minute you're feeling perfectly comfortable in your pair of neat and trim skinny jeans and the next your telling your husband that no, you can't watch another episode of The Americans, because you've got things to do. And things is trolling the internet for the perfect iteration of the cropped flare to suit your inner wild woman. (Inner sheep? Ewe?) And maybe after lots of searching it turns out that cropped flares might just never be your thing, but a cropped wide-leg? Minus the stringy bits? You can dig. Sailor pants? Okay! Let's do this. In white? In blue? In indigo? Maybe I'll buy nothing and maybe I will. Maybe it'll take me a year.

I guess the point is that we get to have fun. And we get to take risks. We get to be perplexed and we get to change our minds. We get to dress up like our much cooler friends if we want to. We shouldn't throw our money around like lunatics or exploit people in distant lands for the sake of a little trend fix, but if we want to experiment with what it feels like to wear a cropped pant? I say we go for it. We get to live a little. And if living a little for you-or me-means wearing some ivory-colored cropped pants with your trusty sweatshirt of the same color and a pair of high-topped sneakers, and if that makes you feel sort of like a painter out of central casting circa 1950, and if feeling like an old-time movie painter makes you feel wonderful for whatever the reason, well, then, terrific. Break rules when you want to. Follow trends when you want to. Don't forget to have fun. Three cents for a Wednesday.

new for spring from tradlands.

This post is sponsored by Tradlands, a women's clothing brand specializing in button-up shirts made in the USA.

Just in time for weather that feels like spring, a new lightweight coat and seven organic shirts from Tradlands. 

Reading My Tea Leaves newsletter subscribers might recall that Tradlands launched its first big departure from women's shirting in the shape of a chore coat earlier this month. For the uninitiated, a chore coat is a classic bit of Americana most often associated with men's workwear. While shapes and styles differ among designers, a classic chore coat is a lightweight outer layer cut from rugged fabric and designed to hold up to, well, chores.


In keeping with tradition, the Tradland's chore coat is cut from water-resistant 10-ounce duck fabric-the same stuff used to make the high-quality men's coats that inspire the look. And while it's sturdy enough to hold up to whatever hard work you've got ready for it, it's not for chores only. Here in Brooklyn, it's been exactly the right thing for the warmer days and cooler nights we've been enjoying lately. I've been wearing the caramel colored coat around town and the other day my friend told me that she was, and I quote, “digging my seventies vibe.” (Formally considering my sartorial goal to channel laid-back Jane Birkin one step closer to being realized.)

About the coat, Tradlands' founder Sadie Roberts says, “It was important to craft a coat that can be worn by women everywhere, from bakers and gardeners to mothers and daughters.” She describes the coat as “a modern, heirloom-quality coat for you and the next generation of strong women.” And in case you needed any encouragement, an embroidered detail on the inner cuff urges you to “Wear it Well.” 
For readers on the lookout for shirting, this spring Tradlands expanded their organic cotton options and there are now seven organic cotton shirts in the Tradlands collection. On the process of expanding the company's organic offerings, Sadie confides that “A difficult side of manufacturing in a conscious, ethical way is making sure your fabrics are coming from a great place and that the quality is consistent. [Fabric] is a huge part of the overall integrity of a piece of clothing. With that in mind, organics is something our customers had been requesting for years, so we set out to find the best organic fabrics we could get our hands on.” Mission accomplished. 

Pictured above, the Quinn shirt in organic navy gingham is a new favorite of mine. The gingham fabric is incredibly soft and overall look is relaxed and classic. For a more tailored look, the classic Bobbie is a traditional button-down oxford. It's also insanely soft. (Aside: I didn't realize that the term button-down referred to the tiny buttons pinning down the collar of a button-up shirt until I was in at least my mid-twenties. Anyone else?)
If you've been waiting to bite the bullet on any Tradlands piece, but haven't yet: now might be the very best time to consider it. Tradlands is offering Reading My Tea Leaves readers a $25 discount on every item in their carts. So, if you want to outfit yourself in the new line of organic shirts in every colorway, you can. (And you'll get $25 dollars off each one.) Use the code SPRING25 to receive the discount and enjoy free shipping and returns in the US (International shipping is also available: $5 to Canada and $10 to everywhere else!). Offer expires May 3, 2016.

a little bit of brooklyn?

We're taking off for little spell. Maybe you're just landing?

We're leaving in late May to spend the month of June in the tiny Breton home of my godparents in France. While we're on our adventure, we're hoping to rent our apartment to someone who needs a little dose of Brooklyn.

Any plans to stay in New York? Needing a place to stay for a month while you're in between apartments? Looking for a spot for new grandparents to hang out while you welcome a new baby?

We'd love to have someone enjoy our home while we're away in June.

You already know what the apartment looks like (here's a refresher), but rest assured we'll make it the little landing pad in the city you've always dreamed of (and we've got a brand-new bed to entice you). We're subletting our place fully furnished with utilities and wi-fi included. Our place is in Brooklyn Heights and a super short walk to just about every major subway line this city has to offer. And yes, you're remembering it correctly: June is my absolute favorite month of the year in Brooklyn.

If you're interested in renting our place, send me a note at erin@readingmytealeaves.com with the subject line June Brooklyn Sublet. 

flowers with lisa przystup of james's daughter.

It's a handy thing to know a talented floral designer or two. Last week, my friend Lisa Przystup of James's Daughter Flowers came over to play with some spring flowers. The day happened to be unseasonably blustery and cold and a hit of springtime was exactly what we needed. 

While I tend to be a stick-a-branch-in-a-bottle-and-call-it-a-day kind of woman, I like to occasionally dabble in the more complex art of flower arranging and I really love watching a floral designer at work. One minute you're chatting away, the next minute there's a mini masterpiece sitting in front of you.

In case any of you have a hankering for a bit of sunshine and flowers, I asked Lisa to share a few of her best tips for those of us interested in dabbling in the fine art of floral arranging.
On choosing a vessel:

Lisa implores us: “Guys: you don't need fancy vases to make a pretty arrangement. There are a plethora of vessels kicking around in your home just waiting to be repurposed: mugs (yes, mugs), old jam jars/mason jars/honey jars (basically, any jar you're about to toss into the recycle bin), small deep bowls, pitchers…the list goes on an on.”

The key to a great flower arranging vessel is this: “the wider the mouth of the vessel the larger you can build out your arrangement-a smaller mouth will limit the number of stems you can fit.”

When Lisa first began arranging, she thought she had to buy a huge vase to build a larger arrangement, but she explains that “the reality is that you can actually build out a pretty decent size arrangement using smaller vessels.”

For reference, the mug in this post is tankard mug from Bennington Potters. Its mouth is three inches wide and it stands four inches tall.
On keeping flowers in place:

Successful flower arranging takes a little bit of smoke and mirrors in the form of hidden support. The armature is a term florists use to describe the solid base that fits inside your vase and provides structure for your arrangement. It's a key element in these kind of arrangements and happily the supplies needed to make one are relatively humble. Lisa suggests two ways to make an armature, depending on the type of vessel you're using. 

+ Solid vessel? Chicken wire to the rescue. Lisa suggests ducking into your local floral/garden supply store (or placing an order online) to get yourself some coated chicken wire and a pair of wire cutters. Next step? “Cut a small square of the chicken wire and fashion it into a loose ball. You want it to be small enough to fit into the bottom of the vessel of your choice but large enough that it won't be knocking around loose at the bottom.” She says not to worry if the chicken wire ball is too big: “You can squish the wire to make it fit. The idea is to have a snug fit so the flowers don't shift.”

+ Clear vessel? Lisa suggests making a tape grid. “You can use Scotch tape to create a grid pattern across the top of the vase that will help give your flowers structure and a place to live.”

Lisa used a pair of wire cutters to trim a square of coated wire and shape it into a ball.

On making an arrangement budget friendly:

Flowers are expensive. But Lisa explains that there's no need to spend an enormous amount in order to make a pretty arrangement: “When I first started learning about flowers I didn't have the budget (or the gigs) to justify heading to the flower market to buy wholesale. But I still wanted to learn and play with pretty blooms. My solution was this: head to the bodega (or grocery store) and buy some affordable flowers and then head to my local speciality flower shop and buy 5-6 stems of some special, more obscure blooms. That way I could satisfy my yearning to work with those top-drawer stunners while learning how to maximize the beauty of regular everyday flowers. You can also use your own backyard as a source-springtime brings all sorts of flowering branches that add a lot of drama and impact to an arrangement. (Hint: you'll need a pair of clippers.)”

We stopped into a neighborhood flower shop to pick up a few special stems: pale pink sweet peas, the most gorgeous sherbet-colored garden roses, and a spray of spirea to give the arrangement some shape.

Then we found a variety of more affordable flowers from a neighborhood bodega: pink hyacinths, traditional white roses, and yellow freesia.

Lisa ended up using ferns that the bodega included with the white roses to fill out the arrangement.

On choosing a color palette: 

Lisa suggests keeping the schemes simple, especially as you get started. She suggests sticking to one or two color families and taking a look around the internet at floral arrangements that you like. Paying attention to the color schemes used in arrangements that you like can help give you a sense of what works well. 

For this arrangement Lisa stuck with spring-y pastels: pale pinks and peaches with a pop of yellow and some white.

On Longevity + Life Expectancy:

To prepare stems for maximum longevity, Lisa suggests cutting them at an angle to help increase the amount of surface the stem has to take in water. To further preserve your delicate blooms, she suggests “keeping your arrangement out of direct sun and making sure the water levels are high enough that all the stems are reaching their life source.”

Most important: “Remember that flowers are ephemeral beauties. I've had flowers last a full week (on the long end) and three days (on the short end). The sad reality is that these lovely things are perishable items. The moment they're cut they are dying. Appreciate their fleeting presence in your life. If you're making an arrangement for, say, dinner, make it the day of to enjoy the blooms at their maximum freshness then keep them around after and enjoy all the stages of their beauty.”

mightyfix from mightynest.

This post is sponsored by MightyNest, a company committed to sourcing sustainable products for healthy homes. 

In Simple Matters, I write a bit about finding allies. In the search for simplicity and sustainability, it can be helpful to have a support team; people who have made it their business to do the nitty gritty research and have emerged on the other side with answers. 

MightyNest is an online store that stocks a whole range of products designed to help people along on their path toward sustainability at home. In the quest for a healthy home and a healthier planet, they might be exactly the kind of ally you're looking for.

The team there has developed a program that they call MightyFix. For a small monthly subscription rate, MightyFix sends subscribers a tried and true product to use in their home. The idea is that the product might encourage a change in habits. (And you know I can get behind habit shifts.) With any luck the month's fix might replace something that's not particularly sustainable or healthy in your home, with something that is. 
It's an opportunity to slowly but surely make shifts in your home, with the added benefit of being able to anticipate a bit of happy mail arriving each month. A set of wool dryer balls might replace disposable dryer sheets, for instance. A new water bottle might encourage you to ditch single-use plastic bottles forever. A set of Bee's Wrap, like you see here, might finally replace the plastic wrap in your kitchen drawer.

The monthly product arrives with a friendly note detailing how to use the new item and a recipe to boot. The Bee's Wrap fix you see here arrived with a recipe for honey-sweetened jam from Marisa McClellan of Food in Jars! As lots of you might know, Bee's Wrap is one of the products that we've used regularly in our house for the past four or five years. It's a simple, reusable replacement for plastic wrap and we've made the switch without ever looking back.
Beeswrap is made in Vermont from organic cotton muslin that has been coated with beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin. The heat from your hands can mold the fabric into place over a bowl of leftovers, or a block of cheese, or a loaf of bread. We use ours regularly to cover half an avocado, or to keep a bowl of washed salad greens fresh. Simple soap and cold water make it clean again, and when it finally wears out-they suggest a year, but we've used some of our sheets even longer-you can compost it. This month, MightyNest is offering a special opportunity for Reading My Tea Leaves readers to bring a bit of this magic stuff home, for just a few dollars, by signing up for MightyFix.

Here's what you need to know about MightyFix:

+ A subscription to MightyFix is $10/month and each month subscribers receive an item valuing at least $10, and often more. With the code TEALEAVESBEESFIX you can get your first fix-a medium and large sheet of Bee's Wrap-for just $3. (The code will be automatically applied to your cart with this link.)

+ Shipping on your MightyFix is always free, but more than that, if you want to add other things to your order-detergent or dish soap or sunscreen-you can add those to your order and have all of those things ship for free, too.

+ 15% of your $10/monthly MightyFix is eligible to be donated to your child's school. More details on MightyNest school fundraising right here.

+ MightyFix products are always products that would be useful in any household; not for families with children only.

+ You can be a subscriber for as long or short as makes sense for you; there's no mandatory subscription period.

Here's what to do: MightyNest is offering RMTL readers a special $3/month rate for the first month of their subscription. That means that if you sign up for MightyFix today, you'll pay just $3 for the first month and you'll receive a set of Bee's Wrap-a large and medium sheet-as your first fix. The fix will arrive to your door within a week or so! To sign up: head this way. (Offer expires on May 12, 2016. MightyFix is currently only available to US customers.)

clementine daily.

A quick note to let you know that I'm guest editing over on Clementine Daily for the month of April. I'll be writing about letting go of things that are bringing you down and avoiding decorating traps among other favorite subjects. To kick things off, the team asked me a few questions about writing Simple Matters, my five tips for beginning the process of paring down, and my approach to baby stuff (including a list of Faye's favorite books du jour.) More this way.

a signature collection with elizabeth suzann.

This post is sponsored by Elizabeth Suzann, a women's clothing label based in Nashville, Tennessee.

One of the greatest privileges of my work in this space is to introduce readers to people doing inspiring work. This spring, clothing label Elizabeth Suzann relaunched its Signature Collection. As a label known for a focus on thoughtful, long-lasting designs, tweaking an already good thing might come across as perfectionism. But it's this kind of attention to detail that makes Elizabeth Suzann stand out. In taking the time to relaunch their signature pieces, the team there has taken a look at their designs, listened to customers' experience of their clothes, identified what's working and what could be made better and they've gone back to the drawing board, and the pattern-making, and the cutting tables, and sewing machines. The result is a new and improved foundational collection. It's back to basics, and then some.

In writing about the re-launched collection, designer and founder Elizabeth Pape talks about the versatility and wearability of the clothing on offer. I'm especially intrigued by her thoughts on clothing as cultural artifact. She writes: “Clothing is so intimate, so closely related and influenced by how we live our lives each day.” I love this idea. For me, so much of keeping a pared down wardrobe has to do with this. The goal-whether I always succeed in it or not-is to maintain a collection of clothes that make getting dressed easy. To have a wardrobe filled with clothes I can work in and play in and feel good in whether I'm meeting a colleague for lunch, or dashing around on errands, or sitting for long hours in a café writing, or climbing on furniture to get the perfect shot. As Elizabeth says, the goal is for “clothing that enables us to live life fully, comfortably, without self-consciousness or doubt.” Amen to all that.

As part of the Signature Collection relaunch, Elizabeth Suzann has expanded its size offerings, changed some of the fabric choices, identified timeless, season-less pieces, and come up with a collection that women can return to, build on, and grow with.
For my own part, I've chosen pieces from the Signature Collection in fabrics that are hard-working and comfortable: linen and cotton twill won for ease in my book. In the photo above I'm wearing the Georgia Tee in ivory linen with the Clyde Work Pant in natural cotton twill. The Georgia Tee feels endlessly versatile. It looks just as sweet dressed up for date night as it does with a pair of jeans. It's an elegant cut that's still wearable. In an effort toward making this collection accessible to women of all sizes, what began as a one-size tee now comes in three different sizes. The Clyde Work Pant is the functional pair of pants you've always wanted, but with a high waist and playful side pockets to elevate them being only purely functional. They feel of this particular moment at the same time that they feel positively timeless. (These guys range from size 00-16 and come in three different lengths.)

Here, I'm in the Georgia Dress in navy linen. Like the tee of the same name, the Georgia Dress is designed for comfort, flexibility, and versatility. It's designed to be worn alone or layered on top of and underneath other things. I'm looking forward to wearing it for days on end this summer, and really I can't wait to see this dress years from now: soft and rumpled and every bit as classic as it is now.








Finally, here's the sweet Tilda Pant in navy linen. This pocket-less pant fits slim on the hip and high on the waist for an elegant drape that feels comfy, but not frumpy. It's already done duty at a dinner out and perched on the edge of the neighborhood sandbox. (The Tilda comes in sizes XS-XL and the same three pant lengths as the Clyde.)

If you're in the market for adding something special to your own closet, Elizabeth Suzann is offering Reading My Tea Leaves readers a$25 discount with the code TEALEAVES25. The code expires May 5, 2016.

chore dates.

James and I started a new approach to dating. And it's amazing.

Yes: we're married. But it's nice to date your husband, if you know what I mean.

And in true marital fashion, lately we've been going on Chore Dates. I know. They sound SO FUN. And they are. 

Here's how they work: We spend the first hour tackling a chore of some kind and the second hour celebrating our accomplishment.

More details: The chore is something that we've been needing to do together, but that's been hard to find the time to do quietly in the evening with a sleeping baby just a thin, thin door away. Or the chore is a task that needs undivided attention even if a nap ends abruptly. Or it's something that's been hard to rally the energy for after the tenth reading of Madeline.

Whatever the chore, we do our best to be realistic about how long it might take so that we don't sabotage our actual date. That means something like repainting the whole apartment would be out of the question, but hanging a new light fixture would be totally doable. We've been planning these dates as early evening affairs so that if need be Faye can be out and about with a babysitter in case there's something we need to get done at home.

The very best part is that the chore/date combo means that there's incentive to get through the chore efficiently because you're anticipating the fun of the date. And on the flipside, once the chore part is done the date feels extra well-deserved because you've just checked something off your list. It's like a little reward for what we've just accomplished! It's the over-achiever's date night dream come true! 
Here are examples of chore dates we've been on so far, just to give you a sense of how this goes down:

Date #1:

First 1/2:
Meet at home
Dissassemble and drag old mattress, box spring, and bed frame down many flights of stairs. Manage not to fall down stairs or insult one another's physical strength.
Put together new bed frame. Manage to do it right the first time, without hissing.
Set up the new mattress. Still no hissing.
Run, literally, out of the door so that Faye can return in time for dinner/bath. Adrenaline rush.
Second 1/2:
Oysters/Dinner. All at the same place, all in an hour. Home before bedtime. To sleep in a newly set-up bed.

Date #2:

First 1/2:
Meet at a coffee shop on the LES. Manage both to arrive on time.
Seal, sign, deliver electronically our taxes. Have only temporary existential crisis about careers/future/bank accounts.
Begin to hatch plans for summer travel. Have another existential crises about careers/future/bank accounts.
Second 1/2:
Split small plates/gawk at stuffed game on walls/eavesdrop on tourists. Subway. Home just after bedtime.

You guys? Already doing this?
