Every Wednesday, I’ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. I’m excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe it’s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe it’s an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.
I’m packing and planning outfits for Paris (Geoff and I go next week, just for a long weekend!), and decided it would be fun to challenge myself not to shop for the trip. It’s so tempting to want to buy all new outfits for a getaway (especially Paris!), but I have plenty of great clothes. Still, this little wish list veers a bit Parisian-inspired. Some things I definitely wish I were packing! I am really feeling a long duster jacket that you can wear over pants (I’d probably layer over a lightweight tank and my High Sport pants. This is something I do not own yet, This and this are at the top of the list.
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, we added a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how I would style them. I hope this provides some fun inspiration. Today, we are styling this beautiful Reformation shirt, this cute Madewell gingham top, and these fun Madewell tiger flats.
The NY Times’ list of the best TV shows of the decade. Profiles on Amy Sherald, Catherine Holstein, and Barbara Kingsolver. It’s a great time to be a cat dad. Allure’s best of beauty awards. Very good sunscreen news. The rise of the “personality piece.” The capsule wardrobe had its moment; now let’s have some fun (yessss!). Holiday budgeting tips. Non-awkward ways to reconnect with an old friend. The most anticipated restaurant openings of fall, links, home tours, and so much more.
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! Carly and I spend a lot 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:
