Well, I’m finally back home after two consecutive NYC trips and a quick stop in Dallas. Thanks again for all your support at the Francis Valentine launch! This far exceeds our expectations. I’m sad that many styles sold out before you could get your hands on them. Please sign up for back in stock alerts as the FV team will be connecting store inventory soon so some sizes will be back! Now onto some things that have been on my radar recently…
A New Morning Routine // I recently got this really nice, cool coffee machine. I love the coffee flavor (I got this bundle), all the syrups, and the ability to brew in nitro mode! It has literally made my mornings more frustrating! Buy it here.
Some Sweet Spring Bags // One of my favorite retailers just released some new bags and wow are they good. I’ve already ordered this scalloped bag and this rattan cutie. I’m also eyeing this EW shape and this beaded bag!
A New Dorsey Launch // Every time Dorsey launches new styles you know they’re going to be good. The latest drop is here and I found these amazing items in plus sizes. These are also very, very beautiful.
LOCAL NEWS ALERT // If you’re local, Paige Denim is now available in Tampa! I miss shopping IRL so I’m always thrilled when we find new shops where I can actually touch, feel, and try! You can see the exact location here.
The Art of the Gift // Over the years I have tried to become a better gift giver. This means finding places and stores that have unique and sometimes customizable gifts that not everyone is giving and receiving. Recently I purchased some framed prints from this shop. There are options if you’re looking for a specific city or restaurant – the perfect gift for someone who has a sentimental attachment to a weekend trip or a special dinner destination. I have a lot of golfers in my life thanks to my husband, so this shop is perfect. They have lots of great, vintage matchbooks of historic courses from around the world. Some favorites here, here and here!
Blush Babe // I will admit that I am no expert at switching up my makeup routine. I am much better at experimenting with skin care and beauty treatments. That being said, I’ve decided that I’m going to try to jump on the blush train. I recently got this blush and this blur brush in ‘Lovefool’. Wish me luck!
BROOCHES GALORE // No one is happier than me, brooches are back. This 2010 feels like the fun, maximalist days of J.Crew. Like remember how much I loved this pink brooch? We love SF throwbacks. I’ve linked to them before, but since so many people have asked…this is where I buy my feather pins, this is where I get my floral pins and this pin is coming to me now! If there is ever a size option I always choose the largest size DUH!
ASOS UPDATE // You know I can’t stay away from ASOS and I always want to share the fab pieces I find. This week’s top three are this teal top, this cut-out beauty and this ethereal dress!
