We’ve been spending a bit of time in San Francisco lately, and “a bit” is exactly long enough for us to know that our new favorite store is Mill. We mean “favorite store” in the sense that we like to wander in and see all the things we can’t afford, because the price points are more appropriate for people who are working in “tech” than people working in “writing.” Still: We’re not going to hold that against it, because everything is so lovely and perfect and even writers can occasionally take all the change they found in their apartment to one of those penny-counters at TD Bank and hope there’s enough to buy a shirt (or a jacket! or a magazine.) What we’ve found is that we’re pretty happy with a 5:1 ratio of Forever 21 in our closet to properly nice things, at least until we develop, say, an app.

This is basically the non-leather version of the coat SJP was wearing with leggings. Barbour coat, $449

That is like the prettiest pattern we ever saw. Janezic top, $405

This is from St. James, the company behind those $150 striped T-shirts. St. James cardigan, $345

This is from one of our favorite designers, Iacoli + McAllister. Speaking of things we can’t afford, we seriously want their lights, too. This is actually a lot cheaper. Iacoli + McAllister necklace, $70
