If we want our communities to re-open after Covid, we'll need to do more than just beat Covid. We have to shop at local places online in order to ensure they are there when our communities re-open.

Are sneakers for weddings a new trend? I just got an email from the shoe company Stuart Weitzman. In addition to all the high heels they have, now have these. It is hard to see, but there are pearls at the holes for the laces. Very festive, very cute.
