Oh man. Another week is creeping yet flying by.

Do you ever feel like this?

My brain is all over the place with everything happening. So today’s post is on the lighter side and quite random – kinda like my state of mind.

First off, I’m on the hunt for some new flats. Anything you love? I usually go with a pair of Sam Edelman’s but I want something nicer I think. As long as they’re a ballet style send over your recs!

Second, have you heard of Garland Bags? Bookmark this as a great gift idea! They are clutches made of high end textiles (mine shown here is @schumacher1889❤️) and each one is detailed with a fun clasp. They’re a clever gift idea for any design or fashion lover in your life. Lindsey, the founder, uses all kinds of fabrics, including Hermes and Gucci scarves. BUT the BEST part may be the descriptions… you have to see for yourself to know what I mean 😉

I’ve also been meaning to tell you….we got a nanny for Penelope! She’s been babysitting her since she was four months old and she agreed to come once a week for a full day for the rest of the year!

This has given me SO much life. It’s only been a couple weeks and just having a long stretch of time to focus and get stuff done uninterrupted is clutch.

Sean’s birthday is next week so and I’m coming up empty handed with ways to make it special even though we’re just spending it at home.

Last but not least, tomorrow I’m posting our living room design by Melissa! So stay tuned for that!
