What are you most excited for this weekend? I have What are you most excited for this weekend? I have a friend in town and my niece's second birthday party on Sunday. Couldn't be more excited for alllllll of the presents and to watch her push the stroller I got her for her dolls. 💅🏻 - Meanwhile I have been in pajamas over here since 3 but wish I were wearing this @ullajohnson dress with fabulous Friday night plans. I bought it during the Shopbop sale, thinking it was included, only to realize after hitting purchase that it was one of the excluded brands. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I had every intention of returning it but after the shacket and leggings fail decided it was okay to keep it. Her pieces are just so pretty and special. (Everything is linked in my instashop!)
Something that's on my mind today: Why is it that Something that's on my mind today: Why is it that out of a hundred nice things we hear about ourselves, we fixate on the one bad one? Does anyone else do this? And why do we value the opinions of strangers vs. the opinions of our inner circle and the people who love us and know us best? I don't know but today and yesterday were rough and I had this thought as I sat at my phone blocking rude strangers and a nice note from my mom came through. And I thought to myself, THIS. This is what actually matters. What my mom thinks of me. What my best friends think of me. Not a stranger who's read too many conspiracy theories and wants me to "educate myself" (lol), some rando that comments "fivehead"or tells me that I look tired or says my thighs are too big or wants to know if I'm pregnant. (All of these things have happened this week, in case you were curious. Clearly that last one didn't read my post about not wanting kids. Not pregnant, just ate pasta and wore a sack dress.) - It's weird when your business is you. Like, I obviously make my living from having an audience here... but I'm a person too? I treat this as a business, it is a business, but when your business is you, the lines can get blurry. I get that having a lot of people following you is not the most relatable thing, and that I chose this as my profession... but if you take anything away from this post, it's to listen to the nice things people say to you and to focus on the advice and opinions given to you by the people who know and love you and (try to) laugh at the meanies... they aren't your people. Easier said than done! - It's okay to let it affect you though. Cry. Or yell if that's more your thing. Have a little wine, eat something delicious. Spend some time with Nancy Meyers (my go-to). And tomorrow, wake up, stretch, move, have a big coffee, think about (or better yet, write down) something nice someone told you, and get back to work. Onward and upward, right? ❤️ (ps - this outfit is my fav and it’s all linked on the blog today. 📸 @carterfish)
Sometimes the simplest outfits are the best ones! Sometimes the simplest outfits are the best ones! Wanted to highlight a few of my favorite things right now. ❤️ - 1. My navy @veronicabeard blazer. I am a broken record but no one does blazers like VB. I love my jackets so much. They are classic and timeless and they also sell dickies to get the layered look. Their pieces are an investment but something you will have and love forever. - 2. My new @nessadesignsny pendant. I love that she mixes precious metals with stones found in nature. My little pebble with three diamonds is one of my most treasured pieces of fine jewelry. I also love that for every necklace sold, she donates one to Dress for Success. - 3. Masks from @shopbombchel. Also broken-record-y, but chic masks from a small Black-owned business with a really cool founder (@itsarchel). I am SO inspired by this brand: they use bold African prints that are purchased locally in West Africa. All pieces are sewn in their little factory in Monrovia, Liberia... with the mission of teaching their entirely female staff of Ebola survivors, rape victims and the deaf and improve their lives by helping them to become self-sufficient through skill-training and education... earning salaries for the first time in their lives. If that doesn't make you want to put a mask on, I don't know what will!
Biggest congrats to @blaireadiebee on her final No Biggest congrats to @blaireadiebee on her final Nordstrom collection! ❤️✨ The pieces are SO, SO GOOD. Without taking away from all of her other collections (I have shopped them all!) I think this one might just be my favorite of all. - I love this leopard jacquard dress, but the real MVP is these tan faux leather pants. (Slide to see!) They're kind of a jogger/pant hybrid and are equal parts comfy and chic. - Everything I'm wearing + more photos is on my blog - Thestripe.com. - 📸 by @carterfish
If you need a good book, one that will really set If you need a good book, one that will really set your soul on fire (and probably make you ugly cry), I can't recommend Memorial Drive by Natasha Trethewey enough. It's a daughter's memoir - at age 19, her world is ripped apart when her former stepfather murders her mother. - When we had Traci from @thestackspod on our podcast a couple months ago it was one of her top picks and true to all of Traci's recs (she has EXCELLENT taste in books) it did not disappoint. I will tell you that it's very dark and extremely sad + hard to read at times, but please don't let that deter you. At one point there is an excerpt from her mother's diary a few days before she was murdered and it's just... devastating and chilling. This book is a really intimate look at racism, domestic abuse, and complicated family relationships. Can't recommend it enough... it's unputdownable and unforgettable! - (dress is @target, bracelet and necklace are by @brinkerandeliza)
What’s your favorite season to shop for? Mine is What’s your favorite season to shop for? Mine is definitely fall. I have missed my blazers especially! (This one is @aninebing from a few years ago!)
#AD Cozy season is HERE. A big thanks to @hbomax f #AD Cozy season is HERE. A big thanks to @hbomax for sending me all the fixings for the perfect night in. Now, more than ever, it’s important to savor the little things and for me that is curling up at home in my biggest sweats, a comfy blanket, and a delicious treat... and (of course!) putting on something good to watch! - Based on your votes from my stories poll, I wanted something new, funny, and a series... which led me to LOVE LIFE, starring Anna Kendrick. It’s your perfect romcom. Light, bingeable (10 episodes at 30 min each) and while it is extremely funny at times, it’s also heartfelt and heartbreaking at times but always deeply relatable. It’s one of the best shows I’ve watched in ages and I can’t recommend it enough. - HBO Max aims to be your cozy season destination. You can stream all of HBO together, with even more of your favorite series and blockbuster movies PLUS new and exclusive Max Originals! With tons of films and great series, there is something for absolutely everyone. - #HBOMaxComfortZone 📸 by @carterfish
For my latest @blueapron masterpiece, I made their For my latest @blueapron masterpiece, I made their Butternut Squash and Orecchiette Pasta with kale and brown butter walnuts. There's a lot going on with this one. You roast the squash! You cook the pasta! And while you do that you make the (most delicious ever) brown butter walnuts + garlicy kale. Still (like most Blue Apron recipes) it took under 30 minutes to make, with very impressive results. - I'm so thrilled to be partnering with Blue Apron this fall... it's fun learning new recipes, and they put together ingredient pairings I wouldn't have thought of. And I always learn something new. - If you use my link (in bio + stories + my Blue Apron highlight), you can get $60 off your first 3 boxes. I'm obsessed and think you will be too! ❤️❤️❤️ - #ad 📸 by @carterfish
