We made it to another weekend!
Remember, at the beginning of quarantine, where everyone would ask, “what is a weekend, anyway?” As I mentioned in this surviving Quarantine article, we’ve been keeping our schedule as normal as can be since the beginning. The kids are both back to school, so the weekends are even more cherished. This weekend, will be even more fun as we will be celebrating my husband’s birthday all weekend long! October is truly the never ending birthday over here. Between mine two weeks ago, Park City last weekend and this weekend, with Halloween the next, I am literally going to turn into a piece of birthday cake.
Here is the Friday Five:
1- CASHMERE SWEATER– I check daily, daily, if this cashmere sweater is on sale. As this website tends to always have some sort of promotion going on, it is only a matter of time until I get it right! Regardless, and because I have zero chill, I just ordered it today because I was ordering some things for the kids to take Christmas Card pictures. Shop what else I ordered below. {I feel like a, what I call, “Professor Cardigan” is a must have for fall. I bought this one for our Utah trip, and it can’t come back from the dry cleaners quickly enough. Size down. I got a S, because I like the sleeve longer and cozy, but an XS still allowed room for layering.}
2- FLEECE JACKET – I picked this up in Park City and love. Please tell me I’m not the only one that loves to travel and see what the locals where and get something like it? Plus, we are hoping to return to Park City in 2021 in February, again in July for a month and in October to see the leaves. We just missed them this last trip but did find little pockets on our hikes, so I really want to come when the entire mountain is in shades of gold.
3- COZY PJS – Is there anything better than a cozy pj situation as the weather begins to change. These are an Eberjey dupe with the exact same softness, but you don’t have to pick between navy and black {get both!} for the price difference. Long sleeve version HERE
4 – MONOGRAMMED COSMETICS CASE – while you might think that it is too early to be thinking holiday gifts, store this one away for when you are ready. This company is always featured on my Gift Guides and they have THE best stuff. For the last three years, I’ve been getting myself a new monogrammed key chain wallet. Since becoming a mom on the go with two toddlers, I’ve found that this wallet is the easiest to keep track of the mom stuff: Amex, ID and car keys, instead of searching all the interior pockets of everything looking for each item. The quality doesn’t need to be replaced each year, but I like a new monogram each year, if you know that I’m saying.
5- PEARL CARDIGAN – this isn’t the first, nor the last, time that this cardigan will appear on these lists. While I haven’t had time to get a proper photo, the sweater did arrive in, yes, black AND white and I am already thoroughly impressed and in love. And now even more so, when a couple of you mentioned, and tagged me, when an Instagram personality was wearing the exact dupe, that was Givenchy and thus $695. Now, to pick a favorite or just give into what I what I will 98% do anyway: keep them both.
Last Week’s Best Sellers
6 – Asymmetrical Fleece – Get your normal size. I got a S, and love that it hits below the waist, covers my bum and is cozy enough for nudie under or for a layer, or two.
5 – Blue Tweed Dress – Sold out. But love this pink tweed, and this one from the same brand. Chicness on another level.
3 – Blue Floral Dress – If you aren’t tall, size down. An XS was perfect on me.
2 – White Button Down – endless, endless ways to wear.
1 – Refine Jacket – this was my second ever piece from lululemon and they last forever. I think my original is 15 years old and looks just as good as this one I picked up last week. This color is on sale.
