Going to keep it short and sweet just like this week. If you can break away from your brisket, there are some things I’d like to share before that are worth doing so for. It turns out I need more hats than I thought, and the face mask I’ve been wanting to try is now free with a purchase at one of my all-time favorite resort wear brands. L’shana tova! Here are this weeks little Friday Finds:…

A lot of you messaged me that you were sad that the lit spiderwebs sold out from this post the other day, so I found some alternatives and thought I would add a few more Halloween decor items that I love and a few that I’ve ordered.…
Happy Women’s Equality Day! 100 years ago on this day, United States Congress passed the 19th Amendment which granted women the right to vote. It blows my mind to think that some of our grandmothers were unable to vote, so to honor them, let’s perform our civic duty and get out and vote in November. Do it for your foremothers, do it for yourself, your sisters, and your daughters. I’m happy to see some of my favorite brands, from Chaser…
Man this week is a good one on the interwebs for two of my favorite things: reading and shopping. There is an important anniversary that has nothing to do with Nordstrom, and some pretty sweet deals on forward looking fall fashion and end of the summer season closeouts. Here are this week’s Friday Finds:…
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now open to all Nordstrom cardholders, so I rounded up my picks by category for this edition of Friday Finds for early shoppers (if you don’t have one you can shop on 8/19.) The best deals during this sale are on fall wardrobe staples, classic items, and beauty and baby goods that typically aren’t marked down. For example, the best infant car seat which I used for all three of my children is included, as…
Some Fridays feel like one and some don’t (especially when in quarantine) but today is one of the best kind of Fridays. First off, it’s July and summer is giving us all some much needed life. Also, there are some pretty amazing sales this weekend that we can skip crowds and wearing masks to shop right here. I also had to share a sweet piece about giving compliments that really resonated with me on a few levels, especially as a…
I’m ready for some classic summer family time and pretending for a few minutes that it doesn’t feel like the world is ending. My first baby turns FIVE on Saturday, and I cannot believe it. All he asked for is a giant batman cake, a Maui costume and wig, and to the see fireworks. Since all of the local fireworks are cancelled, we might be entering new pyrotechnic territories this weekend. If I can still use my opposable thumbs, I…
Before I left the house this morning, my husband said, “are you coming from the village?” I immediately thought he was making a reference to Pride, the birthplace of the Stonewall Protest, since we lived there for nearly a decade together. I was dressed as a walking rainbow. Turns out, he was actually poking fun at my voluminous sleeves, but I took it as a compliment. Here is the dress in question:…
This edition of Friday Finds is all about pick-me-ups, for our friends, family, for ourselves. If there is one resounding similarity between my experience and those of everyone who has graciously opened up to me about their own, it’s that this global health crisis has brought us on an unexpected roller coaster of emotions: extreme highs and extreme lows. The best we can do is throw our hands in the air and soak in the upswings and try to muster…
I know there is a bit of controversy around wearing masks to help stop the spread of COVID-19, but I am 100% on board with doing whatever I can personally to aid in flattening the curve as much as possible. Where I live, we are not permitted to enter most public spaces (the few that have reopened) without wearing one. I will admit that most masks I have tried are uncomfortable, I cannot even begin to fathom what it is…
