Weekend Shopping

 I know it is only Tuesday, but I am already dreaming of a slow weekend filled with feel good movies, comfort food, long mornings spent in bed, and soaking up the last bit of summer. 

I feel like the summer has been such a bluer… I hope at some point this saying turns out to not be true… but time really does seem to speed up the older I get. On the other hand, I am completely guilty of wishing time away… I am counting down the weeks till fall and am so smitten with all things autumn that are already showing up in the stores and around the internet. So… to tied us over till Friday, here are some of my finds from the weekend with a very fall feel to them 



One// Sezane Cory Jumper

I was in Anthropologie over the weekend and the feel of this blanket will make you weak at the knees.

Five// Ralph Lauren Polo Bear Sweater

How cute are these Ralph Lauren Bear sweaters? Classic, timeless, and irresistible for the fall and winter seasons.

This is my person favorite pajama style from LAKE and I have such a soft spot for anything blue and white and anything floral.

Weekend Shopping

 I feel like 2027 has been such a whirlwind of a year. I can’t believe I haven’t posted on here since the end of December. It has been one of those years where things just seemed to keep popping up and I could never get in the rhythm of publishing a blog post. It is always so easy to fall into the habit of promising to do something the next day… I am always active on my Instagram though. 

So, In case you were wondering, I am alive and well! What better way to spend the Friday of a Fourth of July weekend than with a little writing and a little shopping… Here are a few weekend finds!

One// Roller Rabbit x Hill House Scarlett Midi Nap Dress

When two of your favorite brands come together… match made in heaven. The blue and white print on this dress is just such a dream. Nap dresses are made to last and always such a great investment piece

Two// KREWE Riley Amalfi 12k

I am in need of a new pair frames… My little niece sat on mine and they are uneven, to say the least. I have had my eye out for a cute pair of glasses and I really love the style of these. Great if you have a narrow face like mine

Three// Sezane Tomboy Shirt

Fully convinced that Sezane can do no wrong. Last spring Sezane opened a store in the 12th South part of Nashville, and I am completely in love with their store. Perfectly cozy and all the essentials one could always use. I love an oversized button-down shirt. So perfect with jeans, shorts, and leggings. So love this one!

Four// Strathberry Kite Hobo

I feel like Strathberry is one of the best kept secrets that everyone really needs to be in on. High-end designer quality at a much kinder prince point. I personally, love totes and a slouchy hobo bag (it’s the millennial in me…). Love all the color options this bag comes in and the overall style. By the way, if you are a Royal Watcher… Kate Middleton has carried a few Strathberry bags…

Five// Sezane Adam Blouse

Like I said, Sezane can do no wrong. I love the smocked element and the bow details of this top. So perfect for now all the way into fall.

Weekend Shopping

 Such a bad habit, but any excuse I can find to spend a little longer in a warm, cozy bed during the weekend in the morning, I am on board with. One of my favorite things to do Saturday morning is browse the internet for new videos, ideas, home décor, and of course, clothing.

Sunday Night Thought


 

Hostess Gift Guide

 The hostess gift guide has always been one of my favorite guides to put together. I love Christmas themed kitchen items and home décor, and small items that just happen to make the perfect hostess gift. 

If you have every hosted a gathering of any kind, then I think we can all agree that a hostess gift is always in order. Plus, for me personally, I always feel slightly rude showing up to a gathering at someone’s home sans gift… anyone else? A hostess gift is always a simple and nice way to express your appreciation, even if it is an item as simple as a bottle of wine. Here are a few Hostess gifts that any Hostess with the Mostess will love!

One// Juliska Country Estate Winter Frolic Party Plate Set of 4

Juliska’s winter print will always be one of my favorite holiday collections. They managed to find the perfect shade of red that could so easily be mixed with other holiday prints. Perfect for any hostess

Two// Mark & Graham Celebration Beaded Mini Tray

As far as I am concerned, silver pieces have a place at every single occasion, regardless of how formal or casual, big or small the occasion might be. This is the perfect gift for the classic hostess

Three// Red Tartan Luxury Crackers, Set of 6

If you are going to a small gathering, I feel like this would be such a fun hostess gift to end the night with. Let’s face facts, we all still have an inner six-year-old, and I feel confident in saying, that everyone would experience a level of excitement over this one

Four// Christoper Radko Kris Kringle’s Cookie Break

Honestly, this is a can’t go wrong gift. Everyone always needs just one more Santa ornament for their tree. 

Five// New York City Ballet Tree Bottle Opener

I really love the collection that Anthropologie and the New York City Ballet came out with. It is just so perfectly whimsical. 

Six// Merry & Chic Hardcover Book

I had the chance to flip through this book a few weeks ago, and swoon. It is filled with drink recipes, holiday recipes, and home décor inspiration.

Seven// Nutcracker Cheese Knives, Set of 3

This is a gift where you need to buy one for yourself and one for your hostess gift. Nutcrackers are such a Christmas classic and just really perfect for any occasion.

Eight// Ginori Trinket Box

I dinned at Bergdorf’s Ginori Café over the summer, and feel in love with not only the food, but Ignore dishes as well. They are just so stunning in person and I love the fact that you can mix and match all the colors to your hearts content. Just a really perfect hostess gift for a special friend or family member

Nine// Diptyque Sapin (Pine Tree) Classic Candle 

Candles and wine are probably the two most classic hostess gifts. I really love how Diptyque candles are a step up from some of the other candles out there. Their packaging turns an otherwise simple gift into a somewhat decorative piece

Ten// Pearl Wreath Cocktail Napkins

Love all the cocktail napkins this company creates. These classic wreath cocktail napkins would be the perfect for the friend who enjoys an aesthetically pleasing drink at the end of the day.

Eleven// Chappy Wrap Boxwood Wreaths Blanket
