Collected This Week đď¸ Vol. 11
Everything I've collected this week: 9 regrets to avoid in your life, sherbet spring finds from Mi Golondrina and a phrase to live by.
hello, hi from spring break!
We stayed home for spring break and have spent it around town and at the beach with lots of family from California who came to town for their spring break. It has been WONDERFUL. My kids are in heaven with their cousins! Weâve done all the things - full beach days, strawberry picking, fun meals out, a visit to the USS Yorktown, ping pong tournaments, soft shell crab sandwiches, and more. I shared a big breakdown of dresses to wear for spring over on the blog and on Instagram and other than that have been a bit quiet, enjoying my boys and having all our family around. So, links this week are on the later side of the week but I hope you enjoy! x
1. The Deathbed Regret List. 9 regrets to avoid in your life.
2. Go, Grace, Go! My favorite friend for book reviews is writing a book of her own. Iâve loved hearing about her whole process so far over pizza or walks but thrilled that itâs time she shares it with the world! #proudfriend
3. What I Wore for Peterâs Christening. This top with this skirt, paired with these kitten heels. For anyone wanting to really complete the outfit, I was coveting this purse but ended up not pulling the trigger because of the price tag. Itâs some kind of wonderful though. More sizes + accessories here.
4. Something Fun to Look Forward to. Mark is stepping back into fashion and with such a fitting, on brand partner! Iâm excited to see more.
5. I Just Bought Ingredients for these Cookies. The boys and I are baking lemon blueberry cookies this week while weâre out of school!
6. Sherbet Colors! In browsing the new arrivals from Mi Golondrina, I was taken by all the sherbets - makes me want Baskin-Robbins!
7. Two Dreamy New Coffee Table Books for Interiors Lovers. A Layered Home for crafty, collected homes and The Summer House for lakeside cottages, seaside retreats, and country idylls.
8. I Placed My First Order at J.Crew in Ages (that wasnât for my kids). I havenât been as drawn to the brand in recent years, even with Olympia heading up design, but I was shopping for Rowan and stumbled upon the cutest little eyelet top (I got it in âcrimson on whiteâ). The top led me to a belt (I got it in âpecanâ). The belt led me to my closet to a pair of my favorite shorts to style with the top + belt. And, then I found you a similar more affordable pair of shorts too. I also threw in this sateen shirt in âlotus bloom.â
9. Under $200 Finds. Finds so good you canât believe the price.
Such an on-trend cool girl midi skirt (in the âlime nectarâ color!)
The lace garden basket in standard and in mini - why is this the cutest thing ever!?
Lace trim cami with a lace trim skirt - knockout choice for upcoming warm summer nights
Sateen button-ups are having a moment! This one is under $100
10. A Brand Spanking New Collab. Over the Moon and Asha have teamed up on a gorgeous collab that might just make you book a vacay now. I ordered this top and skirt set. I canât resist a set!
11. You Do Not Have to Be an Influencer to⌠shop in the same place Influencers shop! Iâm speaking for influencers as a whole here but we love the ShopMy app. I use it as a creator and as a shopper. Have you downloaded it? I use it to create circles around some of my favorite influencers and friends like Liz or Julia so I can always see in real time what they are shopping for. I love their taste so now I donât even have to wait for them to wear something to see what they are buying. All I have to do is click the âadd to circleâ button. Itâs painfully easy! It makes me feel a step ahead. :)
12. A Phrase to Live By. âDoorâs open!â A girlfriend just remarked the other day about how much she loves this phrase and how much it says in so little words. I keep thinking about it. It kind of tells you everything you need to know about a person. :) Love!
13. A New-to-Me Kids Shoe Brand. I just discovered the brand Kits and think their shoes are completely adorable. Iâm ordering my boys the classic light blue color for spring + summer.
14. Two Devils Wear Prada. Iconic!
15. Last Weekâs Top 5 Best Sellers. You all clicked and shopped for these items more than any othersâŚ
The perfect little boys shorts my boys call their âsporty shortsâ
See you next week!
