R13 Oxford. always getting ?’s on this necklace— it’s the 16inch Kate from Dorsey.

What a week! Lots going on over here. Thanks for all the love in response to Sunday’s letter! Being super pregnant has me really excited but also very emotional about my last postpartum experience. I’m at the point where I am very obviously pregnant and getting a lot of unsolicited commentary on my appearance (mostly kind, but still…unnecessary?). It’s been a chaotic week in our house but we’ve made some progress on the nursery and I’ve started to look forward to our summer travels. Have also been rotting my brain by rewatching Scandal. It’s called balance! Below- sharing my buys of the week, beauty empties, favorite new arrivals (so.much.good.stuff.for. spring.) updated promo codes and good reads from substack.

Buys of the week:

  • bra & underwear sets from EBY (and guess what? They gave us a code! LIZ15)

  • Stussy sleeveless vest

  • very cute kids clothes from the MyTheresa sale

  • a new self tanner

  • restocked eye make-up remover and body scrub

  • snakeskin sandals

    trying & buying…

  • Westman Atelier Bronzing Drops- I love the Chanel Bronzing cream but I’d like something I can mix into my moisturizer to give me a little glow.

  • Tata Harper face cleanser - Tata Harper is a great brand but they make about five different types of cleansers which I find overwhelming. This one promises to dissolve build-up with lactic acid and rice powder.

  • Refy Lip Blush - in Orchid. - A really good in between product that’s not a lip balm yet not quite a lipstick. I swiped this on today and was happily surprised by the results! The color is just enough and the formula isn’t drying.


my favorite hair mask & body scrub (btw Youth To the People does 15% off your first order!)
insomnia has been hitting hard lately - living for these eye gels. use this one for de-puffing and these for a quick refresh.

Beauty empties:

all of these will be restocks for me!

  • my favorite purple shampoo

  • Clarins eye cream

  • Augustinus Bader eye gels

  • Briogeo hair mask

under $70 striped tee

New Arrivals:

  • a gorgeous one-piece swimsuit I am seriously considering for summer travels

  • continuing this week’s sneaker letter…..a really good navy pair

  • an oversized gingham shirt

  • vacation ready sandals

  • striped tee (love the cut)

  • a fantastic pendant

Below the paywall- more new arrivals from all my favorite retailers, updated promo codes, reads of the week and honest product reviews.
