Bow Earrings

Perhaps it’s a symptom of being immersed in baby clothing, but I started wearing these Lele Sadhougi bow earrings a couple of months ago, and I really haven’t taken them off since. More recently, I’ve been drooling over these beauties since my friend Blair introduced me to them, and I love that they have a bit more drama. Unfortunately, now I also want every single pair of bow earrings made by The Pink Reef, including (but certainly not limited to) these and these. I think the green is my favorite.

Custom Desks & Chairs

Recently, my friend Katie Sturino recommended this custom office furniture from Label 180, so obviously I had to find out how it works. (Check out her custom desk if you haven’t yet, it’s STUNNING.) The process is SO simple, you choose from the brand’s incredibly chic desk styles, then select the size that suits you best, and the fabric you love most. The result is a desk that feels completely unique to you in an era of far too many repetitive choices. (They offer desk chairs too, and you sit in them literally all day, so don’t skip personalizing your…

Foot & Calf Massager

File under “Amazon impulse purchases that were a home run.” I don’t know what I expected when I added this Foot & Calf Massager to cart, but I remember clicking the “Buy Now” button and immediately thinking, what the heck did I just order?! Wow, did it exceed my expectations. Tired legs? Aching feet? A partner reluctant to be your perpetual massage therapist? Get this gadget immediately. The multi-use massager can be used on feet, calves—even arms—and has adjustable massage (and heat!) settings that soothe away whatever injustices the day’s schedule did to your body. It has a remote control…

This adorable Sisters First book is the perfect gift or library addition for anyone who is currently raising sisters, or expecting their second girl.

Collared Sweatshirts

Collared sweatshirts have seen a resurgence in recent years, and in my opinion there are two perfect versions: First, the classic Sloppy Joe style made famous by Princess Diana. I have the Collar 02 style in three colors and cannot live without it. However, they are ALWAYS sold out, so you’ll need to get on their mailing list and act FAST if you want one. Second, I just got this Alex Mill sweatshirt and it’s without a doubt one of my best recent purchases. The white buttons give it a little more polish than the Sloppy Joe option which makes…

I found this brand via Fashion Kind, and I don’t think I’ve ever fallen so in love with a brand so quickly.
