Favorite Finds
  1.  Don’t often order from H&M, but I have to say, their recent linen drops have caught my eye. Ordered these shorts and this dress to try, while desperately wishing this one came in a solid color. A good rule of thumb I’ve learned over the years – When shopping H&M, Zara, etc., unless you’re totally sure of the fit, always go with a size up from your usual. Things tend to look more tailored and put together when they’re a little looser on the body and something about the cheaper fabrics/cuts of these shops always seems to look way better in a size up.
  2. We watched Den of Thieves 2 on Netflix and it was fascinating. 
  3. Ordered this glass tea kettle and love the way you can toss whatever you want in to boil and it easily filters everything out while pouring. Been doing water, cut apples, fresh ginger, and cloves. I’m hooked.
  4. Been using this hair mask once a week and love how soft and shiny it leaves my hair. 
  5. Ordered this top and bottoms from the new to me activewear line. The fabric! So good. Hoping they make more dress styles for warm weather.
  6. Somebody Else by Role Model has lived in my head all weekend. Love the original, but heard a more acoustic version of some kind in hot yoga and it was so good. 
  7. Looking to add a simple black one piece into my swimsuit lineup and this one is holding top spot. Under $150 and I love the cut. Kind of loving the brown version as well.
  8. We’ve been reading Ryan Holiday’s books for years and always seem to have one in rotation. Just started back through The Obstacle Is The Way. I also love his emails and IG account.
  9. This dress has been in the back of my mind ever since I saw it last week. The belt, the cut, the length. Perfection. 
  10. Ordered a bread knife to match our current set. Best $56 I spent last week. 

With love,
