five distractions
bc we're all a little on edge, right?
THESE - Basically, a party in a shoe. Especially nice if you, like me, don’t want to invest in something holiday specific. These would be fantastic with a white button down and jeans, little black dress, or silver sequins. Christmas, New Years, Valentine’s Day- I think they’re appropriate for all the holidays.
A short and sweet love story from the NYT (gift link here to avoid paywall)
The Sephora Sale- use it as an opportunity to go through your medicine cabinet/make-up drawers and see what you’re running low on for a restock. Conversely, if you have a beauty loving Sagittarius bestie like I do it’s not a bad time to do a little birthday shopping (or even look at the gift sets for stockings if you’re a planner!)
Admire this fantastic Fendi Baguette carried by none other than Rihanna- Another day, another look. She can do no wrong. Found one for you here. A lot of her street style looks are major designer pieces (often archival) that would be hard to imitate, but some are basics pumped up by fabulous accessories. Endless inspo.
Get cozy- Going to start and end this with shoes, sorry (in the words of Carrie Bradshaw, I have an addiction, sir!) Nothing like a new pair of slippers to boost your mood on chilly mornings. Personally I’m eyeing these and these. If you live in a warmer climate- this striped terry-cloth pair is chic. A very fun mug selection here- I’d like to pour some hot tea into this one and curl up with a good book.
Bonus - I highly recommend this free meditation app. It helps me on restless nights and even has a selection of soothing sounds, like ocean waves.
& please, vote if you have not done so already! So important to make our voices heard (Laurel Plantin really summed up a lot of what I’ve been thinking about here). Sending lots of love!

Just the distraction I needed ♥️
