Friday Things

SHOPPING: There are so many good sales right now–I’ve been wanting some tech-friendly gloves and finally picked up this pair. The Shopbop sale is over but the East Dane one for the men is still on, and J.Crew still has 30% outerwear, which is about as good as it gets for them!

EATING: The weather change (it was 90+ degrees in Dallas last weekend!) and seemingly everyone being sick finally caught up with me and I’m currently battling a sort of sinusy/itchy throat/achy kind of thing. That meant a couple of my current favorite green smoothies, some miso broth that I got at Trader Joe’s, and the Trader Joe’s Mandarin Orange Chicken (add some sautéed broccoli and spinach, served with rice that you cook in the miso broth!).

WEEKEND AGENDA: There isn’t too much on the weekend agenda save for a tailgate + football game and an exciting new project I’m working on (details will be shared eventually!). I am hoping to get in the kitchen to bake some fall-themed goodies, though….!

OF NOTE…

– Sandy shared photos of The Berkeley in London, another hotel I’d love to visit. Add this to The Goring and it looks like I’ll be devoting a day to browsing hotels next time I visit the city.

– Speaking of traveling, Napa just jumped high up on my list–if you’re planning a trip or foresee yourself going, bookmark Victoria’s guide to Napa nowwww. It’s packed with tips on what to do, where to stay, how to get around, etc.

– For all of us who partially go to Ikea for the food.

– Love this fall bouquet from Liz…I want to start wrapping flowers in newspaper!

– Jess launched her own clothing line and it is divine. Personal favorites are this skirt and this vest–definitely view them on her blog, as these photos don’t do them justice!

– PS: It’s Kate Spade’s Friends & Family Sale! Take 25% off your entire purchase with code INDULGE.

ICYMI: 10 best sweaters under $50, an outfit from this past weekend in Dallas, basically an ode to L.L. Bean, a sleek black + white look.
