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…
It’s officially peak mutiny in my house, and I’m going to have the scars to prove it. After taking a metal Matchbox Wonder Woman car (the irony) to my cartilage courtesy of my toddler, I’m stitched up and fine but permanently cosmetically scathed. A stylish friend suggested I start searching for an ear cuff, and now I feel like I need one even if I come out on the other side of this without a keloid. Here are the 10…
While this Memorial Day Weekend may look a little less social than years past, we can still treat ourselves while social distancing. BBQ’s, rose, with a side of online shopping are the much needed antidote. I’ll be updating this list as any breaking shopping news occurs. I got you. Here are the best Memorial Day sales hands down:…
It’s Friday even though it doesn’t feel like it, but it’s about to because these Friday finds are going to make a weekend happen all over your screen. Does that even make sense? Does anything anymore? What does make sense right now: making the most of your work from anywhere at home situation, ordering the best Mother’s Day Gift if you haven’t already, and maybe a little something for yourself for when you eventually do crawl out of this giant…
Now that things are warming up outside we will soon be wearing sandals again (most likely paired with a sloppy DIY pedicure unless you ordered these). We also may have to change out of sweatpants, but luckily for us all, the sweatpants of shoes are back in a big way. If you were alive in the late 90’s you probably had a pair of these ubiquitous elastic slides or some iteration of (I had the giant platform version). I remember…
Yesterday I spilled some guts and shared the 3 best free Mothers Day gifts. However, since we are not all going to be able to see our mamas this year, I rounded up some amazing contact-free gifts you can send to the moms in your life to show you care. This cashmere set, which is one of my favorite Mother’s Day gifts I ever received, is back. It’s perfect for lounging at home now and travel later, plus the eye…
This week’s quarantine life brought some of the best news we’ve heard and some of the worst. I honestly didn’t even know what to write today until I talked to one of my nearest and dearest friends just now. The photo above was taken this morning, after I had cried before 10 AM (I won’t even go into detail because I am sure you can imagine why). I shared it with my close friends and told them how I was…
Part of my new normal includes wearing my fair share of sweatsuits. At this point, I’ll take comfort in any form I can get it, but I still like to look somewhat put together and polished. Lucky for all of us, joggers are in right now, and Saks Friends and Family sale is a gold mine of chic sweats. Soul Cycle’s Big Sale is also worth a look if you’re seeking Lululemon or Aviator Nation, but be advised a lot…
