Hello from freezing NYC! I don’t know what happened but it turned into freezing cold winter weather yesterday. I stayed indoors most of the day… it was just. so. cold! I got back from LA late on Monday and have been busy playing catch-up (and prepping for next week’s trip – I leave for Europe for almost two weeks on Wednesday… wahoo!) In between, I have been binge-watching Victoria and reading The Dollhouse (so, so good if you love historical fiction, New York, and are looking for a new book). There aren’t any political links in this week’s round-up (not on purpose, I’ve just found myself gravitating to the news + lighter reading this week) BUT I will say that I donated to the ACLU this week and would encourage you to do the same if you are compelled and able – I think that regardless of your political views, we can all agree that what is happening is really sad. I feel powerless but I know that donating at least will do some good.
The coolest Air BNB’s in every state! I need to go to Georgia… now!
Along those lines… this site reached out to me this week and I just thought it was so cool: Meet Glamping Hub… it’s like Air BnB for chic tents, cabins, tee-pees, + more. I really want to book something once the weather warms up.
I’m planning a trip to Charleston in March and am pretty sure I need this sweet off-the-shoulder dress.
This is my favorite sweater ever and it just went on sale!

I’m pretty new to your blog- I found you because I was looking for face oil reviews and recommendations! While I absolutely enjoy reading about all things beauty, it’s so refreshing (and, I truly believe, NECESSARY) that you also speak about “real” topics- feminism, the ACLU, what is currently happening in this country. I love and respect that you use your platform and your voice to blend such serious, important issues with the lighter, fun ones- real life is definitely is a combination of the two, and it’s nice to be reminded that they aren’t completely separate. So many bloggers stay away from the “heavier stuff” so they don’t offend anybody…but I think it’s great that you are willing to speak up and offer up a dose of both. Maybe you can’t make everybody happy, but IMO you are doing a damn good job 😉 Thank you!
Aw, I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying my blog (and the more heavy/serious side of things) – truly appreciate it! xo
I’ve just started buying 3-wick candles from Bath & Bodyworks and have been racking my brain trying to thing of what to do with the empty glass jars. Definitely moving them to the bathroom for some organization. That was a great tip

Oh GOOD! Thank you Audrey! xx
