Preparing Your Garden For Winter
Image Winter is coming. It’s hard to let go of Game of Thrones after all this time, but of course that’s not the purpose of our post today. Winter really is coming, the year seems to have disappeared into the blue without a trace and many of us are struggling to keep up. The garden is an important place to think about as the winter draws near because many of the plants we love will go dormant for a winter and get ready to brace for harsher weather conditions. There are a lot of different things we can to do prepare for the winter season, and in the garden there…

Rose Utility Jacket + Vintage Botanical Tee
I love vintage botanical/flower prints. In fact last year I bought a set of prints from Etsy but I never got around to hanging them up in my bedroom. Then, I moved. So I plan to hang them up in my new bedroom when I move in. Anyway, I’m getting off topic – when I saw this vintage botanical tee I knew I had to have it. I loved pairing it with a rose colored utility jacket on a cool day recently. I really wanted a new utility jacket this year and while I was tempted to get the classic green once I saw this rose colored one I decided…

Floral Pleated Skirt
I’m so happy to have the day off from work today. It’s been a long month and a half so the long weekend is so welcome. I know, Columbus Day is controversial, but I will take any day off I can get. I love a good Amazon find as I’m sure many of you do and Amazon Fashion has seriously stepped up its game in the past year. I have been impressed with the few items I’ve ordered so far and this floral pleated skirt is no exception. I love the mauve-y pink color of it and the floral print is so pretty. Add in the fact that the skirt…

Floral Jacquard Puff Sleeve Top
I love jacquard sweaters and tops. The patterns and texture are always so pretty. This puff sleeve top is nice because it’s not too thick so it’s perfect for this time of year. The little puff detailing at the sleeves is so sweet and I love the floral design. I wore this top with my favorite busted knee jeans for these photos, but I wore the top to work a few days ago with dark grey pants so it’s easy to dress up or down. I really loved pairing the top with distressed jeans because it’s a mix of pretty/conservative and edgy. Top: LOFT (here) | Jeans: Abercrombie & Fitch…

Tula Brightening Eye Balm
For months and months I’ve seen people on social media rave about Tula’s Brightening Eye Balm. Maybe you have too. So I really wanted to see if it was worth the hype especially because my eyes are always tired looking when I’m back at work for the school year. However, this eye balm stick is so popular that it is often out of stock! So I waited for a while to get it. Of course, right when I got it Tula launched their new Rose Glow version of the eye balm! So is it worth all the fuss? I like the balm and I enjoy the feeling of it, but I…

Egg & Bagel Breakfast Sandiwch + Pork Belly
Happy Saturday! I’m so happy it’s the weekend and that it’s a 3-day weekend for me! As I’ve shared before on here, weekends are the only time where I can have a real breakfast and not something quick on my way to work. Since I’m currently staying at my parents’ house until my condo is ready for me to move in my weekend breakfasts here usually consist of whatever is in the fridge here and/or what my mom makes. But when I was back in my townhouse I sometimes made breakfasts made up of things I had leftover. Omelettes, breakfast quesadillas, etc. I saved some photos on my phone from…

Blue & White Ginger Jars
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved blue & white decor – namely ginger jars. Chinoiserie is really popular and if you don’t know what that is it’s decor pieces that imitate or evoke a Chinese motif vibe in western art, furniture, etc. Nice pieces are pretty expensive, so for now I can just admire them from afar. But, one day when I can afford expensive home decor and investment pieces I’d love to have a collection of blue & white ginger jars like the ones in the photo below! I took this photo when I was at the Williams-Sonoma flagship store in San Francisco over the summer.…

Sparkly Evil Eye Pendant
I’m sure you’ve seen evil eye jewelry all over the place in recent years, but the superstition/belief of the evil eye has been around for thousands of years and spans across multiple religions and countries. In short, the evil eye is thought to be an evil look that can inflict harm, suffering, bad luck, etc. and wearing evil eye jewelry or talismans is thought to reflect the evil forces away from you. Over the years, the symbol has become really popular in mainstream jewelry and I have collected a few pieces of the years – a ring, bracelet, and now a really pretty sparkly pendant!
