What I’m Loving Now

One thing I definitely underestimated is how little time I would have in the midst of moving.  I knew it would be hectic, but somehow I thought I’d be able to keep up my normal work schedule once we arrived in Oregon.  Unfortunately, we are still working on getting settled & we still haven’t unpacked the moving truck yet!  Needless to say, my posts will continue to be a bit sporadic for a little while longer, so I really appreciate you bearing with me in the interim.

I did want to quickly share a few of my favorite things with you today – these are a mix of fashion trends, apparel & beauty items that I’m loving.  I’ll be sharing a big Memorial Day sale round-up later in the week, so stay tuned for that!

ANTHROPOLOGIE JEWELRY

I don’t shop at Anthropologie very often because their clothes are usually a bit out of my price range (unless they’re running a great sale).  But, I do love browsing through their accessories because they always have such a unique selection of styles that you can’t find anywhere else.  Here are a few of the pieces I’ve got my eye on:

Anthropologie jewelry

Jess Twisted Hoops // Rae Hoop Earrings // Anya Pearl Earrings // Aria Drop Earrings
Ryan Necklace (love this one too!) // Gillian Beaded Necklace // Montana Necklace
Dune Stretch Bracelets // Shell Bracelet // Arcadia Ring Set // Aurelia Cuff Bracelets

DIFFERIN DARK SPOT SERUM

Differin Dark Spot Serum

I mentioned this product a couple months back, but wanted to share my full review after using it for an extended period of time.  I have been so impressed with the results I’ve seen that I just ordered myself another bottle.  The reason that it works so well is because it has the highest percentage of hydroquinone of any over-the-counter product.  If you’re not familiar, hydroquinone is the most effective skin lightening agent on the market & helps fade acne scars, melasma & other hyperpigmentation.  Because my skin is so sensitive, I have only been using it once a day – I did notice that my skin was a bit drier at first, so I started mixing it with my moisturizer and that corrected the problem.  If you have stubborn dark spots and have been looking for an affordable solution, I highly recommend giving this a try!

LOFT SCOOP NECK TANK

LOFT Tank Top

You know when you find such a good basic that you want to buy it in every color?  That’s what happened for me with this tank. I initially ordered in cream heather, but as soon as it arrived & I tried it on, I knew I needed the grey, white & black too.  I normally don’t buy multiples of the same item, but I made an exception here because the fabric & fit are so good and it’s a classic wardrobe staple that I know I will wear all the time.  Layer it under a jacket or cardigan, tuck into printed skirt or knot it at the waist & pair with shorts for a warm summer day.  And it’s 50% off right now with code SUNNY.

ELLA+MILA NAIL POLISH REMOVER WIPES

Ella+Mila Nail Polish Remover Wipes

After packing up boxes for our move last week, pretty much all of my nail polish was chipped.  So I wanted to remove it before we left on our road trip…but I realized that all of my beauty cabinet had already been packed up.  I didn’t want to get more liquid remover and have to worry about it spilling in transit, so I bought these wipes to use & I still can’t get over how well they worked.  I’ve never tried anything from this brand before but I was so impressed with these and immediately the full size bottle to have at home once we get settled.  They don’t have the typical acetone smell to them & I was able to use one wipe for both hands.  They do leave your skin a little greasy, but I didn’t mind because they were so moisturizing for my nails & cuticles.  It’s obviously a bit pricier than traditional remover, but if you’re looking for a non-acetone product, this is an excellent option.

SQUARE NECKLINES

Since this trend began emerging last year, I have slowly acquired more and more pieces with this neckline.  I love it because it has modern feel & is universally flattering (show off that collarbone!).  Here are some of my top affordable picks for the season:

square neck styles

ROW 1:  ONE // TWO // THREE // FOUR
ROW 2:  ONE // TWO // THREE // FOUR
ROW 3:  ONE // TWO // THREE // FOUR

Are we all still getting dressed up tomorrow night Are we all still getting dressed up tomorrow night even though we’re not going out?! (asking for a friend 😜)

When I asked for your birthday wish list, the first item you wrote was “money to build care packages for the homeless” 😭 After all these years, I shouldn’t be surprised because that’s just who you are. 

Our lives became sunnier, happier and more joy-filled the day you were born...and you’ve been spreading that light everywhere you go ever since.

Even though it’s hard for me to think that we only have another year and a half with you at home, I know you are going to do great things & truly leave your mark in this world.

And I’ll be the one in the front row cheering the loudest 💕
