This week we have a few words on Charlottesville, questions you should never ask a couple, the best $10 shoe organizers, and more.

We have to start this week with Charlottesville. Yes, we’re a fashion blog, but the events of this week are too important and terrifying not to discuss. Jimmy Fallon’s impassioned speech on the subject resonates.

This piece from Longreads explains how UVA – and its history- can teach us a lot about the Charlottesville situation and America as a whole.

Also, I highly recommend taking 20 mins to watch Vice’s “Charlottesville: Race and Terror” special — it’s extremely hard to watch but I feel 10x more informed after seeing it.
