Monday Memo No. 44
Outdoor eats, sundresses (finally!), highly binge-able shows and yep—let’s talk maternity leggings.
Smorgasburg Reopens In April
Do you like eating? Do you like eating outside?? Brooklyn’s Smorgasburg is officially open for the 2019 season, happening Saturdays in Williamsburg and Sundays in Prospect Park. The vendors are always insanely delicious and honestly you had me at outdoor consumption of various treats. Pro tip: Don’t sleep on the vendors with shorter lines. Yes, there are 50 people waiting for that unicorn taco because it’s probably amazing, but so are the three vendors around it who haven’t gone viral—yet.
The “IT” Dress Of The Week – Topshop $95
Remember when we had shoulders? Prepare yourselves and your closets for the day when sunshine can once again beam down on us without the need for a jacket. This Topshop dress is SOCUTE (one word) and comes in at under $100—just don’t skip the sunscreen, we’ve been indoors for a very long time.
Under $100 Spring Dress On Shopbop
Do you prefer more symmetrical garments? You are also in luck in the world of highly affordable frocks. This sunny number by re:named is the casual yellow polka dot moment you’ll be so happy is hanging in your closet when last-minute daytime plans pop up in warm weather. And with that price tag? No-brainer.
Killing Eve Season 2
We’re all obsessed with Sandra Oh at this point, yes? Also I still miss Christina Yang but that’s for another time. Killing Eve Season 2 has recently begun, and if you even remotely enjoy drama, thrillers, and spy stuff, get it together, and get to your couch, STAT.
Ultra Absorbent Hair Towel
What do we hate? Drippy hair! How do we stop it? Lots of ways, really, but this is the best one. I recently started using the AQUIS Original Hair TOWEL to stop my hair from turning my home into a slip-n-slide, and I’m thrilled with it. These things really do reduce your blow dry time and you know I love a time saver when I see one. Look at those ratings, please!
Slip Travel Set
You already know I am team silk pillowcase, but what you don’t know is that I am team silk pillowcase regardless of whether or not I am sleeping in my own home. Slip’s travel set lives permanently in my suitcase and includes a pillowcase and bonus silk eye mask because hotel room curtains cannot be trusted.
Broadchurch On Netflix
Also in the realm of drama + thriller + not based in the US television, Broadchurch is another highly binge-able series, and this one is on Netflix for anyone who doesn’t have access to Killing Eve. Olivia Coleman (who just won a Best Actress Oscar for The Favourite) is simply brilliant. This series had me ADDICTED.
Best Maternity Leggings
WHELP, here we are. It’s time for maternity leggings my friends, oh, is it time. I am currently making myself as comfortable as humanly possible via Lululemon’s Align leggings in Super High Rise. A note to all the pregnants: Super High Rise is key. Also, just FYI, I am fully enjoying learning how to re-style myself to accommodate the cantaloupe-shaped situation currently happening around my middle. We’ll see how jazzed I am at watermelon stage…

Cantaloupe stage was fun. I looked cute, dresses were cute. All cute.
Watermelon stage, on the other hand. ????. It was July/August. It was Orlando. There was ALL of the humidity-based water weight. I had cankles.May NY summer be kind to you!

Congrats! I stopped following for a little while because… I was expecting and seeing all the pretty outfits I couldn’t wear frustrated me. I’m back, my baby is now 7 months old… and now I find this happy news!
Last post I saw from you, I literally said to myself, “Can’t wait to see the outfits she posts someday when she’s pregnant…” The usual clothing options for pregnant women out there are terrible! Bunch of stripes and same old flowers, haha. Please post some mommy-to-be work outfits at all stages of the baby bump if you can! Congratulations again on your growing family 🙂 -
Align leggings is what I’m currently living in when I’m not at work! Perfect pregnancy pant at 23 weeks. ???? Also, Smorgasburg was a delightful nightmare last weekend. We live right across the street from it and the best time to go is EARLY! By mid afternoon people were spilling out to the sidewalks. ????

I really love this selection honey. The topshop’s dress is so cute and the yellow one from Shopbop as you say “no brainer”. Really amazing…..
New story on my blog: The best part of Miami’s weather is that during this time of the year allow us to mix spring season clothes with summer ones. C’mon take a look and tell me what do you think about it. Don’t miss it…..
Kisses from Miami

Hi Mary! Did you get the Align leggings in your normal size, or did you size up to accommodate your bump?

Hi Tiffany,
I actually went up two sizes!
