  • Pendant Necklace

    Pendant Necklace

    If you’ve ever wondered what items I currently have sitting in shopping carts across the internet, allow me to let you in on that charming part of my life. At present, this necklace is calling to me, it’s by Laura Lombardi, a brand I absolutely love, and will be mine sooner rather than later. Such a good versatile piece to have at the ready.

    Oversized Hair Bows

    I recently shared a video on Instagram showing you my favorite way to style oversized bow barrettes. The trick to this look (and preventing yourself from looking like a toddler or a founding father) is creating a chignon or messy bun and placing the bow above and to the side (the asymmetry is key!). We loved hair bows as kids, and they’ve been overlooked for too long. It’s time to scoop up a few modern versions for 2020. I love these beauties that I found on Etsy, the prices are amazing and they come in so many wearable colors.

    Resale by Nordstrom

    Nordstrom is entering the resale game! See You Tomorrow is Nordstrom’s new effort offering extremely high quality, expertly-curated, previously-owned pieces. You can shop online or in the NYC store, and if you’re interested in selling some of your own gently-used items, you can make an appointment. If your items are accepted, you’ll be paid with a Gift Card redeemable online and in stores at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack and HauteLook. This is such a great chance to get your hands on stunning style at a fraction of retail prices.

    Bose Sunglass Headphones

    We are officially living in the future. These Sunglass Headphones by Bose let you listen to music via your sunglasses without having to stick anything in your ears or squint from sun brightness. Their open-ear audio allows you to stay aware of your surroundings, while enjoying your music, and according to reviewers, you don’t sacrifice sound quality. They come in three fantastic unisex sunglass styles and I’m dying to try them. I am all for accessory and gadget consolidation and can’t wait to see what’s next…

  • Lands End Turtlenecks

    Lands End Turtlenecks

    I never thought I’d have strong feelings about turtleneck thickness, but here we are. I was admiring a family member’s PERFECT turtleneck recently and she kindly divulged that it was, indeed, from Lands’ End. While some are so thin you can’t wear them solo, and others are so thick they’re uncomfortable to layer, these are the perfect happy medium that can do both. A lesson in versatility.

    Cost-Per-Wear

    Speaking of smart, I recently published my complete guide to making fashion investment purchases including a breakdown of the Cost-Per-Wear calculation. Getting familiar with this process is key for anyone who, you know, wears clothes. It can give you a great perspective when shopping, and really help you think differently about your purchases. This piece was directly inspired by reader questions, and I’ve also shared my personal favorite style investments I’ve made over the years!

    Bluetooth Multi-device Keyboard

    In the past, I’ve used other Bluetooth keyboards for on-the-go work moments like travel days and other times when getting back to the office to accomplish large tasks just isn’t possible. But this one is an upgrade to my old model because it allows me to seamlessly switch across devices. You can connect three devices at a time and a simple dial allows you to move between them. For anyone whose workday is multi-device, this is so smart.

    Good Stock Soups

    In this house, we love a quick route to delicious meals, particularly when there’s a strong focus on nutrition. Goodstock Soups, of NYC fame, have recently expanded their shipment locations to include the entire East Coast and as far west as Oklahoma, Kansas and Minnesota. With wholesome ingredients, no additives, and zero preservatives,  they’re the best, most convenient way to get nutritious, comforting, delicious soup on the table in no time.
