WHO
Man Repeller - A beautiful essay. Three women share their stories and talk about how friendship has changed for them with age. Love this quote, “When you’re my friend, you’re my friend for life. My friendship is unconditional. I take it very seriously”. I feel the same way…quality over quantity when it comes to freindships…I want to be all in with you.
Town & Country - Need something to watch tonight? Click for the best classic Christmas movies of all time. I love Miracle on 34th street and Love Actually.
Harper’s Bazaar - The double standards of parenting we just can’t seem to shake. Do you agree with what this article suggests? That dads are put on pedestals just for showing up? That a mother’s job is never done?
The New York Times - A romance in the most horrific of places. After 72 years they were reunited and he just had one question for her.
WORE
You don’t have to pay retail to carry a designer handbag. Here are some of my top picks from my favorite luxury resellers:
WHAT
curling iron - I finally went ahead and bought this curling iron and so far I love it. I’ve always used a wand that I bought from CVS years ago and after it broke a few week’s ago, I decided it was time for an upgrade. What I love about the T3 is it makes a perfect curl in one shot and also does very well with larger portions of hair. I think I just thought of my next IGTV video!
recipe - Dinner party this holiday season? This is one of the easiest (and tastiest) fish recipes I’ve ever tried. It is made with red snapper which is less “fishy” than salmon making it a better option for a larger group. I like to prepare simple haricots verts (after steaming sauté in a touch of olive oil and chopped shallot) and brown or wild rice on the side. This one is my favorite. For dessert? Make these salted caramel pretzel snickerdoodles for a holiday twist on the classic treat.

silk pillowcase - The slip pillowcase has been at the top of every gift guide for the last two holiday seasons and the trend doesn’t seem to be going away. So is the $85 price tag worth it? I say yes! Not only is it incredibly soft and comfortable, I’ve been using mine for just about a year and I never get sleep marks or lines. I also swear it helps with my hair static. While we’re on the topic of sleeping I’ve been trying to switch from being a side sleeper to a back sleeper. Back is supposed to be so much better for your neck and spine but its been a tough transition. Here is an article about it.
advice - Anna Wintour shares her holiday entertaining tips, favorite traditions, and the worst gift she’s ever received. Her advice on the perfect mother-in-law gift? A framed photograph of your significant other with your MIL. Can’t go wrong!
holiday cards - I ordered our Christmas cards last week and I can’t wait for them to arrive! This is the first time I’m doing black and white and I’m hoping this simple gray letterpress will compliment it very well! Also just saying - we shot the photos for our card almost two months ago and I felt very ahead of the game…until last Monday when I wasn’t anymore #happenseveryyear!
WHERE
verishop - This new to me website carries all of my favorite brands + has the most amazing customer service! I discovered them last week when I was on the hunt for a coat for a client and was blown away! Here are some of my favorites right now:
