"For the whole week, I might only bring these and a pair of new white Keds...I mean, do I really want to wear heels on vacation? I don't think so. Not right after Fashion Week."

"I'm a big Ann Patchett fan (if you haven't read Truth & Beauty, DO!), however, I'm ashamed to say I still haven't read Bel Canto. This trip will remedy that."
