April, oh April! A month that certainly left its mark on me. The past thirty days were perfect in so many ways—perfect new additions to my wardrobe and home, perfect movies, meals, concerts, and perfect adventures. It feels hard to imagine surpassing the happiness this month brought into my life, but I know things will only get better. I’m typing this from the floor of my soon-to-be old apartment on the final night of a chapter that’s nearly closed. I have so much to look forward to this summer, and if this past month was any indication of how good things can be, then I know I’ll soon be drowning in the riches of life.
Every Wednesday, I’ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. This is my favorite part of my job, to be honest. Finding and sharing cool stuff that you hopefully haven’t seen elsewhere. I often stumble across something interesting and share it on Instagram, but it has no real home.

I am a broken record about this, but if you are new here, I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! Both Carly and I spend quite a bit of time tracking down pieces at this price point that feel well-made, special, and fun. I aim to share a roundup like this every two weeks (the last installment is right here) as there are so many great items out there that won’t break the bank. Right now, a few personal favorites are
We’ve started something new: every week on Instagram, I share the previous week’s best-selling products. You can always see those collections, saved here on my ShopMy Page. It’s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series (I share these to Instagram every Friday), we wanted to introduce a styling element. Every Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how to style them. Today, we’re styling this white lace top, these comfy pull-on jeans, and this pretty wicker bag.
