This Week

Every week kind of feels the same.

It’s a blur of work, events, school drop-offs and evening cuddles, and more work.

And yet, every week is also different.

On Monday, my best friend was one of three women honored as a ‘Women To Watch’ by WICT. To say I’m proud is a severe understatement – I actually teared up when she accepted her award and gave her speech.

Thank goodness I had my full makeup bag with me. Touch ups were necessary.

I got to spend time with one of my favorite aunts yesterday, and she saw Rho for the first time since he was a baby. My heart is still happy from the visit.

I don’t make it to The Wing’s evening events often, but I did attend a panel on Wednesday night that featured modern-day trailblazers and rule breakers (in honor of Gabrielle Chanel). The highlight of the panel was Katy Tur, whose book I read the same day I read Hillary’s (book review forthcoming).

A good week – albeit one that went by way too fast.

On to the reads!

Busy Phillips is an American treasure. I’ve been obsessed with her since Dawson’s Creek and White Chicks (one of my all-time favorite movies). Thanks to Instagram Stories, I can get my Busy fix every day.
Fashion Magpie is a new addition to my blog reader, but’s quickly become a favorite. She had me at her hilariously punny post titles and outstanding beauty recommendations.
Dagne Dover just launched their fall/winter collection – and it’s gorgeous. I have my eye on this toteÂ (debating between the black and the slate) and the clutch/wallet in agate. Shop the whole collection here.
This article on Instagram motherhood was far more thoughtful than the pretty images and title suggested. Have you read it? Thoughts?
We’re going through a particularly tough phase (molar teething + trying to discipline a two-year old), so I’ve been gravitating towards a lot of parenting articles. This post on colic brought back all the feelings and memories. I don’t think I could have written about it so beautifully, so I credit Stephanie for doing so.
Obligatory Shopbop sale reminder. The best thing to buy, if you haven’t yet, is my book. I like to restock on old favorites (a fresh pair of my favorite black jeans, some cozy cashmere, the greatest bra ever, and a new graphic top). In the past, I’ve gotten some of my all-time favorite products from this sale – my liquids bag and blanket for travel, faux leather leggings, and even my Tumi carry-on.
