This cable-knit quarter zip is proof that classic never goes out of style. Clean lines, rich texture, and that timeless braided knit that’s everywhere this season—for a reason.

It looks elevated enough for dinner out, but it’s comfortable enough for everyday wear. The stand collar + tailored fit give that effortless polished look (and yes, it photographs really well 😉).

✔️ Classic cable knit
✔️ Flattering, structured fit
✔️ Easy to dress up or down
✔️ A forever piece, not a trend

For a while now may of you been wondering about these masks by Prestige that often go on almost 90% sale at Gilt! Here is my honest option:
Pros: There is a lot of product - super moist. They leave your face glowy and feeling refreshed. The feeling does last at least that day. There is enough product to massage on neck and chest when you take them off.
Cons: The masks are thin - as you can see even ripped on the forehead when I pulled. Unfortunately they also slide down so this is a put me on and lay down kind of mask.

For a second there, I didn’t think it was going to happen! Letting the husbands into the annual meeting of the Girls That Eat club was definitely a controversial decision — it even had to go to a vote! 😅

But I have to admit… the guys brought a whole new level of fun to our Holiday Edition night. Thank you to all the husbands for making it extra special! My face still hurts from laughing, and my belly definitely still hurts from all the incredible food.

A special shout-out to Dasha ( Tebet Daria ) for the gorgeous (and ridiculously delicious) cake — you were missed so much, and we can’t wait to see you next month! 💛✨

For our one-year anniversary of officially becoming husband and wife, we decided to celebrate at National Harbor. And since Sofia couldn’t make it to the courthouse last year, she refused to be left out again. This time she basically handed us her own itinerary and said, “I’m coming.” End of discussion.

One of our favorite things to do together is definitely fine dining—nothing says love like judging food as a team. So we decided to give Grace’s Mandarin another try.

Service was amazing.
Drinks were flawless.
Sushi was underwhelming. Either our taste buds have changed or we’ve officially become sushi snobs thanks to our neighborhood spots. This round the sushi gave serious “you could’ve skipped me” energy.

But the whole fried fish was incredible. We demolished it so completely the waiter probably thought we hadn’t been fed all day. The only survivors were a couple of bones.

The décor is gorgeous, the ambiance is stunning, and the place is definitely worth visiting—just maybe let the sushi live its own life and order literally anything else.

Some of you might remember I tried on 20 coats two years ago to choose this one by Karl Lagerfeld. Still my favorite winter coat! It’s super warm and looks stylish!
