These Are A Few Of Our Favorite Things

Helllloooo, we’re back!  So we know we’ve sucked at keeping the blog updated lately, but what can we say, life keeps getting in the way.  In a good way!  Steph’s jumped head first into her rad interior design job, and I’m watching from the sidelines like the proud bestie I am.  And oh yeah – I’m TWO HOURS AWAY. Which means weekend trips to explore So Cal/shop/eat copious amounts of Mexican have commenced.  Life is so good.  ANYWHO – for the first time in a while, here’s a list of what’s getting our rocks off at this very moment:

1. This dress, this dress, this dress. Until you try on a Rachel Pally maxi dress, you just won’t understand how incredibly soft and pajama-like they are.  Trust me and Steph: We’re obsessed (I even outfitted my bridesmaids in RP!):

2. This Tempur-pedic eye mask that will literally change your life. In a span of a week since my hubby got a pair I’ve watched him go from being a super light sleeper – tossing and turning every night and waking me up – to falling instantaneously into a deep, restful sleep.  Meaning I now get a deep, restful sleep.


3. Am I the only one who’s shown up on a friend’s new apt doorstep only to realize I should’ve brought them a housewarming present and didn’t?  Or any friend’s place for that matter who’s having some people over?  Yeah, I need to get better at that. And I will, starting now, with this: The perfect hostess gift:

4. This succulent monogrammed planter box, perfect for those of us (ahem) who have a wee problem keeping plants alive.  I’m especially digging this to hang on our balcony:

5. The newest addition to my running playlist: Calvin Harris’ new club banger “Summer”:

Happy Friday everyone!

Girls of Summer: A Reminder of What We’re All Gonna Miss

Summer, don’t go.  We’re only just getting started.  You made a brief appearance a couple months ago in So Cal and then hid away while we waited it out under cloudy skies all summer.  But now you’ve resurfaced, showering us here in hot temps and making me want to cling onto you like a child with separation anxiety holding onto their parents’ legs. But bid adieu I must, and I will do so with a compilation below of some of my fave summer looks from the season.  Go ahead and check them out to the tune of this song:
