I’m calling it. Fall 2020 is the season of the waffle knit. This extremely comfy knit can be found in some of fall’s coziest loungewear options, and none are better than the Z Supply joggers. Comfortable, easy, they’re a nap in pant form and I’m in love. I might also add that their matching top is called the CELINE WAFFLE LONG SLEEVE so what am I gonna do, not buy it?   

In addition to wearing sleeves, we can drink tea again without melting into a puddle of our former selves. How exciting! I love fall flavors, and if you’re already overwhelmed by the pumpkin section of Trader Joe’s, opt for a classic, cozy fall tea like a spiced apple chai. Book and throw blanket choices, I leave to you.

H&M’s new fall arrivals are good, very good indeed, and I’m starting things off with this cable knit (can you believe I’m saying these words) cardigan that will be extremely useful for WFH days, as it’s easy to throw atop essentially anything and look cozy-polished which is very much a real thing. I also have eyes for this burgundy coat (another word I’m so excited to say out loud much less add to cart), it’s a wool blend with a...

It's official. Rich and I recently bought a home in Wisconsin, making us officially bi-coastal! We’re not saying goodbye to NYC, and look forward to dividing our time between cities once it’s safe to do so, but for now we’re so excited to settle into our Milwaukee home. Colette’s been very forthcoming with her thoughts on decor. Lucky me. Look for more details via this post on Instagram! I also did a thorough moving Q&A which you can find in...

Ready for (really, really good) wine in a can? The McBride Sisters wine brand is a Black-owned purveyor of outstanding wines. This summer, they released She Can Spritzers, 70-calorie remixes of their California wines. In addition to being just a really convenient way to enjoy a delicious drink on a patio, She Can is also a development fund by the McBride sisters that helps black-female-owned small businesses thrive. Read more about what the McBride sisters are doing here! So inspiring....

We don’t pour our batter in this house, thank you. We use a VERY CLEVER GADGET. This little guy dispenses perfectly even and mess-free pancakes, cupcakes, muffins, etc. directly into your baking or cooking vessel, saving you clean up time and the embarrassment of 24 treats, none of which are the same shape or size. Go forth and trick people into thinking you're Ina Garten.

We’re all spending what I’ll call an inordinate amount of time in our kitchens, no doubt experimenting with spice at every opportunity. (Or is that just me?) These spice gripper clips help you situation your spices snugly (say that five times fast), wherever you want them, so that they are both close at hand and out of the way.

Hey, you know what’s not fun? The inside of my mask wearing more makeup than me.  Mostly, I try to wear little or no makeup when I know I'm going to be wearing a mask, but sometimes it's unavoidable. This incredibly effective makeup setting spray will keep your makeup where you put it, because your mask is cute enough without a full contour, thx.   

If you want to support small businesses (75% of which are BIPOC-owned!) and you want to send a care package to someone special (including yourself who 100% counts as special), look into Hello Care Package. The brand offers subscriptions as well as one-time purchases, and all their boxes contain over $150 worth of small business-made homegoods, accessories, wellness items, and food. One look at the items from past boxes and you’ll be sold... trust me.   

If you need a little cinematic inspiration to get you in the mood for fall (though TBH all I need is like... an apple... actually, make that a caramel apple, thank you), Town & Country just published a fantastic article you can use as your own personal fall viewing guide. Personally, I've started with When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail.

Oh yes, weighted blanket fans, there’s now a way to WEAR ONE AROUND THE HOUSE. Meet the Weighted Robe by Gravity Blankets, with a 3lb weight inside the collar to mimic deep touch pressure stimulation to promote stress reduction and relaxation. Also hi, fluffy robe.   

I finally found a way to manage my cables that is not an eyesore. iSore? (Lolz.) Anyway, I love solutions for tech that don’t completely derail a decor scheme, and this is one of them.
