I hope you’ve had a good week! Mine went by quickly, which was mostly a good thing. It’s a very rare occasion that you’ll hear me say something negative about a fast-moving week, but I do feel a little behind on work. I’m hoping to catch up to a good spot today, though!
If you saw it on Stories last night, I made Gigi Hadid’s viral spicy vodka pasta. It was good! I think I would prefer tomato sauce to tomato paste, but that’s my only note. I love vodka sauce, especially when it has a little kick to it, so now I’m on a mission to find the best recipe out there. This one will be next!
The Shopbop sale ends tonight, if you wanted to browse through! A lot of it is picked over by now, but a couple of my recommendations are still available. These are some of my favorite sunglasses, the mules I’m wearing above are included, these slides for casual summer outfits and the pool/beach, and this Tory Burch bag is stunning for spring/summer.
Soma is offering up to 50% of select sleep and apparel! I’d recommend these joggers, these lounge pants, and any of the Cool Nights pajamas.
Liam and I have been going for a walk in the morning and it’s been so nice. I usually let him play in the play room for about an hour (or however long he’ll last) and then we’re ready for a change of scenery. It feels good to get my body moving and get a little mood boost from the fresh air!
Items Mentioned This Week
CB2 – Circuit Dining Table: Our new dining room table! Its an investment but great quality so I know it will last for years and years.
Wayfair – Dacosta 5 Chandelier: The new light fixture we installed in the dining room. The original light was a builder grade fixture, which was fine, but I think this helps customize the room to better suit our style!
West Elm – Ceramic Wallscape Planters: I think these are fun! I filled them with artificial plants from Ikea.
West Elm – Centerpiece Bowl: A great quality centerpiece bowl! I’ve had this one for a while.
Victoria Emerson: You can see my favorites in this post! They are currently offering a free bracelet with any purchase.
Loft: They currently have 50% off + free shipping for almost everything on the site! I shared some items I have my eye on here.
Lululemon – Ebb To Street Tank: Grabbed this in another color because I love the first one so much!
Athletica – Brooklyn Ankle Pant: Love how versatile these are! They are super easy to dress up or down depending on your day.
Target – Exaggerated Shoulder Tank: One of my most worn tops so far this season!
Nike – Daybreak Casual Shoes: Just grabbed these and I think they are super fun – especially for spring and summer!
