Happy Sunday everyone! It was a BUSY week getting as much done as possible before Em headed off to enjoy spring break with her family. But don’t worry because we are all set and are happy to hold down the fort:) Ok, let’s link up!
This week’s house tour is the epitome of spring! Bonnie Ashley and Neil Downie (founders of the Australian homewares brand Bonnie and Neil) bought a bungalow in California and they filled it with their classic joyful colors and floral patterns. There are too many wonderful elements to call any single one out! Go check it out here and enjoy.
From Emily: I shopped around, plugged in 4 different string lights and I’m happy to say that I found affordable, WARM WHITE, LED, shatter-resistant string lights that look so sweet without going too “wedding-y”. These are from Lowe’s (full disclosure, I had a partnership with them – but I got to choose what I featured). These are globe lights (round and cute) and feel really appropriate to the property. Plus with the amount of action this yard gets during the summer (so many kids, y’all – it’s like a frat house for 8 and 10-year-olds) I didn’t want to worry about them breaking since some are lower on the fence line. Big fan of these for all of your patios, front porches, backyards, etc. Spring and summer is a coming!!
From Arlyn: I’m finally ready to give my first recommendation of skincare products I’m trying this year to help improve texture, dullness, and pore size. I’m still testing some of the things you all recommended to me, but this Versed mask has been so great I want to tell you about it right away. I’m a month into using it and I 100% see a massive improvement in my skin’s texture. I use it once a week and haven’t had any adverse reactions besides a little peeling, which is what you want to happen. My forehead is so much smoother, my cheeks are so much softer and I haven’t had a single day in almost three weeks where I look at my skin and get bummed out that it’s lacking some glow. I’m a convert!

NBD but in case you didn’t hear, Diane von Furstenberg just launched A HUGE collaboration with Target. Clothes, decor, and even press-on nails. What an exciting (and more affordable way) to celebrate this incredible woman and the empire she has created that’s all about celebrating women. Here is a round-up of some of our favorite fashion pieces but you have to at least take a look at the whole collection if only for the serotonin boost:)
From Mallory: I’m getting VERY excited for vacation season/summer so the other day I went to Anthropologie and snagged this little bag in green (spoiler: I’m now obsessed). I’m taking my resort-wear wardrobe very seriously this year, so if you too are trying to up your vacay style game join me and we can create our own woven checker bag cult this summer!!!
From Gretchen: I found my new wear-it-everyday jacket–this one from Madewell! It’s perfectly boxy, fairly lightweight, and such a pretty blue/green color, perfect for Spring. It hangs like a less bulky Carhartt jacket and has great, big pockets. Plus, it looks like Madewell is having an “insider sale” through today, and it’s currently 25% off!
From Caitlin: Do you love a sweet little treat? Are you a big beverage fan? BECAUSE I AM, AND Y’ALL HAVE BEEN HOLDING OUT ON ME! Last week I grabbed a few cans of Wildwunder – a super low-cal sparkling drink with all kinds of prebiotics and probiotics AND a nice dose of fiber – AND IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY! I bought the Mango Gold (incredible), the Strawberry Passion (awesome), and the Guava Rose (tasted kind of like lotion, but in a way that people who like Rose flavoring would enjoy – I just don’t have a mature enough palate). They were more a little more affordable than kombucha, which I consume at a horrifying rate, and they made my guts feel awesome (TMI, but true – I’m always happier when I’m consuming probiotic foods, and this one is so easy to drink). I was just blown away by the flavors and the carbonation level – it’s SO BUBBLY. Brought a few to a picnic and they were a unanimous hit – especially with my friends who don’t drink! – and it made me feel VERY proud to share. Long live my new sparkly, feel-better, yummy beverage of choice!
From Jess: It’s been years since I’ve used a purple shampoo but after my blond was looking a bit too brassy towards my roots, I grabbed this highly-rated one by Kerastase and I’ve loved it so far! If you’ve been looking a good anti-brass shampoo I really like this one.
Thanks for stopping by and see ya tomorrow! xx
