Happy Sunday, everyone! Emily and Jess are officially recovered from the flu post “retreat” and Christmas is just over a week away. YIKES. Now, if you’ve still got people on your list, Caitlin wrote an amazing last-minute gift guide that will make you look like a star. But if you are really ahead and are all done then head straight to the links:)
This week’s house tour was one of those you couldn’t help but immediately click to see because when you hear the names Ray Ramano and Nate Berkus together who have to see the house, right? And what a house it is! A stunning desert oasis in La Quinta, CA. We are partial to the primary suite but there are so many gems in this home. Check it out here!
From Emily: This sweater from Target. It’s so soft and flattering (and very very warm). While not ugly it is 100% what I’ll be wearing all week. Oh, and it comes in other colors and styles!
From Caitlin: If anyone’s on the hunt for a great NYE dress, can I suggest this one? It’s strapless but it stays up (I promise – no problems as a 36F!), the length is awesome, it’s super on-trend (2024 is the year of the bow, mark my words), it gives a really nice shape, and it brings the sparkle without being TOO sparkly (no glitter will be dropped; your arms will remain scratch-free as there’s nary a sequin in sight!). If gold isn’t your thing, it also comes in a few more shades that you can check out right here. PS. IT HAS POCKETS!
From Jess: Suprise surprise! It’s winter and my skin is super dry…well, was super dry. I bought this Summer Friday’s mask for my trip to London a month ago (I wanted to land looking hydrated) but what I didn’t totally realize was that it could also be used as a regular moisturizer! I love a 2 for 1 and it has made my skin so soft and hydrated. I have the mini size and it has plenty of product to last you a while. It’s highly rated for a reason. I give it a 10/10.
From Arlyn: I’ve entered my oversized sweater phase for the season and this one I recently bought off a recommendation from a friend is the perfect combination of “feels like pajamas” and “can be worn with jeans or leggings and I still look presentable.” I love that it has slits on both sides near the hips so I don’t look like an inflatable snowman. It’s heavy, seems well-made, and an amazing deal. The sizing runs very large, so I’d recommend going down one to two sizes. If anyone has any other recommendations for cozy sweaters (that work with a large chest and a mom tummy), please drop those link babies in the comments for me! 🙂
From Mallory: I’m deep into the moving process currently (NYC here I come!) and my life was saved by these bubble wrap pouches!! We put plates and glassware in these and it made the bubble wrap process so much easier and faster. If you’re moving soon do not skip these!!
From Gretchen: I’ve been on the hunt for a new apartment and boy is it dismal out there. The lighting especially. And I’m not even talking about lack of decent ambiance (that too) but all of the hideous fixtures that seem to come standard with rentals these days. We all know and loathe the boob light, right? Well, I was complaining to a friend about the sheer volume I’ve stumbled upon in my search and she told me that she’d come across a company that specifically makes boob light covers. I’m not totally sure what I think since I haven’t tried them myself, but I’m drawn to the gem shade and the reviews (and customer photos) look promising.
Ok, that’s it from us. Have a good rest of your weekend. xx
