This Week's Favorites

Nothing fancy

Every year around this time, I find myself jumping into “what do I want to wear next?” mode. Half spring, half summer really. I start noticing new patterns, color combinations, and pieces that make me want to get dressed again! Lately, a lot of that inspiration has been coming from new clothing and accessory launches… and I feel like it inspires my interior design work too.

Drumroll, please…

Jewels

Surely none of you are shocked, but I’m always finding new charms to add to my stack. Given the warmer temps, I’m also eyeing fun pieces of jewelry that add more color to an otherwise boring outfit (jeans and a tee etc).

I bought this from Over The Moon last week and immediately wore it out to dinner. It’s a fun little pop without feeling costume-y. I love! I have a rolo chain from Vana Chupp with a few of these from Local Eclectic that I almost never take off… and then you all know I love my Henri Noel Paperclip Chain necklace. I’m always adding charms, bits, bobs to it.

A quick call-out — the last day to order a silhouette charm in time for mother's day from Vana is 3/29 I believe. Truly my most prized posession is my silhouette of Nell. I just adore everything Vana does!

These stone mariner link charms are so beautiful and I’ve been eyeing them (a wishlist item for me at the moment) as well as these spacer charms. They’re a little bit more playful than the ones I have but serve their own purpose and I love.

Spring Jackets

I’m particularly obsessed with this one from Prada, but I’d need to go back to corporate (and then some) or forego my mortgage to afford it. This one from Ganni is much more affordable and wearable throughout so many seasons — I’ve added it to my cart, of course.

There are a few more linked here but I need to continue my Spring jacket research. A highly requested topic that I’ve admittedly not done my due-diligence on!

A few of my tried and trues… anything from Barbour — just timeless. This style is old (from college, if you can believe it) but I do like a barn jacket style like this and the Barbours have a slightly more polished look to them.

The yellow is old Sezane but this looks similar, just in vest form… which I find incredibly chic and have added to my cart.

Lastly, I was gifted this denim jacket from Marea and truly can’t stop wearing it. I love it! It’s comfortable, fits well, has an unfussy collar and is a little different with the navy detailing.

Easy on the Eyes

If you missed my pink shoe edit, look no further… except keep reading. I’m loving soft petal pinks, mixed with unexpected blues or greens. These skirts are kind of what I’m getting at… and they’re also just pretty things I like to look at. I have nowhere to wear them, though. Especially with a baby on the way in 6 short (!???!!!) weeks.

Side note — if you’re a bride, this is INSANE??!!

I had to include Biscuit Home x The Nat Note, because Natalie is a friend of mine and this collab is just lovely.

Don’t even get me started on this pearly satiny beautiful pink blouse — I’ve already purchased and am hoping it fits me once this baby is born. We shall see, but I love it nonetheless.

Okay I think I covered everything. Happy shopping! And if you made it this far, thanks for playing…. but more importantly, my WEBSITE IS LIVE(!!!!) if you really made it this far. You can submit a design consult inquiry through there and it will pull in my shopping finds too, if Substack isn’t your thing. But then again I’m not sure why you’re reading this if it’s not. Anyway….

xx,
