Drawn to lots of neutrals and knots, and neutral knits 🤎🩶🖤🤍

The best sleep gummies! We got these for our kids but now we take them too!

Melatonin scares me so I love that these are just magnesium. They don’t knock you out, but rather the best way I can describe it is that when you do finally close your eyes and allow yourself to be calm, you drift right off!

Bonus: they’re super yummy! 😋

My favorite knit pants! So good I own in two colors. Very thick which is perfect for this Midwest weather - they don’t let the chill in!

So incredibly cozy and just as easy to wear with a sweatshirt around the house as with a sweater around town!

Some colors currently on sale

Worn this comfy outfit two days in a row! Sweats are actually from the men’s section and the fit is PERFECT. Went with my normal size.

Over the ear headphones are on major sale right now, and already super well-priced!

Everything currently catching my eye for Fall 🤎

The Abercrombie NFL line has the best selection to rep your team! I’ve tagged all Kansas City Chiefs options but they have options for every NFL team! 🏈

The sweater was my most worn item last year, the fit and retro style were so good I wore it even not on game days!

This year I added the mesh practice jersey to my wardrobe and it’s already proving to be so great for these weeks while the season is still so warm!

Both of those items are technically men’s but I went with my regular size and they fit nicely oversized. If you don’t prefer oversized, I would size down one.

I also ordered the mockneck sweater for when it cools down and I cannot wait to wear it, it’s so good! I went true to size and it’s perfect!

Tried the baby tee but the quality on that one wasn’t great, it was quite thin, and also tried the ribbed dress which was so cute! I just personally don’t prefer tight items so I’m returning but if you do I recommend! Also would be so cute with a baby bump!!

Contrary to the ode to Summer of the photo, linked below are tons of Fall picks that have caught my eye recently!

Trying to decide between one of those suede bags…

The best hairbrush! Super gentle while also detangling, it just feels luxurious!

Swedish candy!!! Linked the two kinds I got this time as well as the mix I got last time! That one was all Bubs and skulls - really good!!!

This raspberry dress is my new obsession!

Makes a great church dress but just as good for lunch, or errands, or date night!

Swedish candy from Amazon!

The perfect white dress! Though I don’t advise for anyone over 5’5” as it does run short.

Sandwich method with a denim headband and denim flats, finished off with my favorite silver bag with a scarf tied on!

Raspberry dress! ❤️

Fits true to size, has pockets, and a nice substantial fabric!

Starting to think about that Fall transition! But still holding on to as much of Summer as possible!

A few Nordstrom Anniversary picks in here!

This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune

Summer read / holiday book / beach read

$50 rainbow stone necklace!

I have this in four colorways and have given it as a gift many times - it is always a hit!

Such a great piece at a fantastic price!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKFindsUnder100

A maxi halter dress I can’t stop thinking about and many others!

Happy Place is Emily Henry’s best work in my opinion!

I put it off forever because people said “the main characters are insufferable” and then have never related to characters more 🥴 She is able to put words to what seem like human (sometimes isolating) experiences in such a tangible and beautiful way. It’s a gift to have pieces of my heart and mind written on paper!

Target is currently doing buy two books, get one free!!!

Now is the time to stock up or buy your trophy copies if you already read on your Kindle 😄

Linked so many of my favorites!

The perfect Summer read!

This is the book that got me back into reading and it’s still to this day one of my favorites. It’s one I always recommend, especially to newer readers, because it’s relatively short, it’s captivating from the jump, and it’s so atmospheric! It’s the nostalgia of young love and long Summer days written in ink!

The fifth book in my favorite series of all time, Magnolia Parks: Into the Dark!

Unfortunately the gorgeous indie covers are only available in the UK (I did, in fact, special order mine because I had to have them!)

The fourth book in my favorite series of all time, Daisy Haites: The Great Undoing!

The third book in my favorite series of all time, Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home!

You’ve never smelled anything like it before but I promise you will be OBSESSED!!!

My very favorite candle is on sale 20% off, no code needed.

In fact the whole site is 20% off and they only do this sale once a year!

These make a fabulous gift because the packaging is super special and unique and they feel very luxe!

Here’s the inside tea on the scents…
My second fave is the Signature scent. It smells like a high-end hotel 🤤
Wouldn’t recommend New York (smells great but has little throw - which is weird because Miami and Signature make the whole space smell!!)
Napa Valley is delightful
Capri and Positano I like but don’t love.

I’ve got my eye on London, Poolside, Blue Skies, Island and Hamptons!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKFindsUnder50

The best Amazon Prime Day Deal in my book! I recommend the Paperwhite, no ads, with Kindle Unlimited. M sure to select the option for the 3 month trial of KU (because why not if it’s not extra $$?! There are so many books on there!) and “not ad-supported”. It’s $20 more I think but *worth it*. This allows you to show the book covers on the lock screen rather than random ads. It’s a small thing but weirdly makes a big impact.

Happy reading!

Everyone should have an Instax camera, the love for mine runs deep! So much fun to bring out and a special way to capture a moment in time!

My exact model is no longer available (except for $$$ on the second hand market) but I have both the square and the mini and love both but think the features and lighting on the square are a bit better.

Used mine for all my bump shots and the kids’ first 12 month shots, as well as on vacation, for parties, “firsts”, and everyday moments to treasure!

Everything I’ve bought (and kept!) lately. Didn’t link anything I returned so this is only the good stuff!

Note: I exchanged for a larger size as they ran small, the following items:
Blue sandals and white tank.
White dress fits true to size but very short. I am 5’5” and it’s pushing it!

One of my most worn pairs of earrings - I bet I’ve worn them twice a week since I got them three or four years ago!

Their midsize is perfect; wearable for everyday but big enough to wear as more of a statement for a date or church.

Classy and timeless, these Mignonne Gavigan pearl huggies are a staple in my jewelry box!

Thought I was buying a statement bag I would wear a few times a year, ended up buying my most used everyday bag!

The size is just perfect for day to day use, the combo of silver with gold hardware means it matches everything, and it makes outfits feel a bit more special.

The quality is so incredible for the price and I get compliments all the time!

This smells like Italy!!! I don’t know if it is just reminiscent of a scent that one of my roommates wore when I studied abroad or if it’s an actual note that is native to Italy, but I was transported instantly!

Smells delightful - a bit fruity and a bit sweet 🍊
