About
The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages.
In Towles’s novel Rules of Civility, the indomitable Evelyn Ross leaves New York City in September 1938 with the intention of returning home to Indiana. But as her train pulls into Chicago, where her parents are waiting, she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles.
Told from seven points of view, “Eve in Hollywood” describes how Eve crafts a new future for herself—and others—in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows, and dive bars of Los Angeles. Written with his signature wit, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towles’s canon of stylish and transporting fiction
Well, this wasn't awkward
You know when someone just says 'Hello' and you automatically reply with 'Hello, fine thanks and you?' That's awkward. Or when you're at a restaurant and the waiter says 'Enjoy your meal!' and you say 'You too!' That's awkward, too.
But you know what else is really awkward? Trying to decide what to wear when the weather is neither here nor there. We're halfway through winter, which is cold, but it's also been kind of warm, and so we're kind of stuck in that 'too cool for just a shirt, too warm for a jacket' kinda weather.
Beat that awkwardness with something just right, with our deal on ladies turtle neck tops from Core Classic.
