current wish list – January

We’re doing a “dry” and even “drier” January because my husband and I decided to torture ourselves and cork all bottles along with keeping our credit cards out of reach. The no shopping month has been WAY harder than the no drinking. HOWEVER – this means I’m “fake” shopping to the extreme (AKA filling a cart and then quitting the web page). I’m filling way too many carts and favoriting everything in site just to make up for my lack of purchasing.

My favorite way to organize my shopping habit is keeping bookmarks on my web browser. I have them all categorized so when I’m looking for something specific, I’m able to find it easily or at least search through my bookmarks to find it (admittedly there are probably thousands of links saved..).

Here’s what’s on my current wish list:

We desperately need a new duvet cover and like most people, I’m going all white! This is the Organic Cotton Duvet Cover and although I contemplated the linen option, I am afraid that the wrinkles will drive me crazy.

For such a long time, I avoided wearing belts but now I usually feel like they complete my outfit, similar to jewelry. This one from Saint Laurent is on my list.

I sadly shattered my previous Gua Sha right before we moved and I haven’t replaced it yet even though my skincare routine is definitely missing it. I adore this one from Bamford. This one from Lesse is also a contender.

I’ve been very into more “organic” shaped jewelry lately. This is the Caria ring from Pamela Love and I neeeeeeeeed it on my finger ASAP.

I was recently alerted that this bag was on sale and then almost cried because I missed the opportunity.

I have a work trip to Hawaii coming up in early March so I’m keeping my eye out for new warm weather pieces. These linen drawstring shorts from Dissh are on my list. They’d be so easy to slip on and off by the beach!

While taking time off from alcohol can be a challenge, I thoroughly enjoy sobriety. I took 3 months off last summer and felt fantastic. My aunt recommended Seedlip and I really want to try it. I’ve been drinking Ghia this month and enjoying it. It took a while for me to learn how to drink it but now I love it. It’s always good to have a mocktail option in your back pocket!

I’ll make this the last one just to keep things short but TRUST ME, the list goes on. I adore this sports bra from Carbon38. They also have it in the inverse color which is very cute as well. Did someone say Meredith Blake?

Hope you have a good week!

fun finds – January

hrifting/antiquing. I genuinely get a thrill from finding something I just HAVE to have, even if it means nothing to anyone else. Although we’re not at the decorating phase of working on our house yet, a girl can still shop.

An overdue renovation update and a happy new year!

It’s been a teeny bit over two months since we closed on our house and since then we’ve done a lot of changes. I thought it necessary to document some of the progress that’s happened over here since we moved in a few weeks ago.

We bought a house!

There have been so many lessons along the way to get to where we are now but we finally OWN a house. First thing we did after we closed? Started ripping down cabinets and taking doors off hinges. I couldn’t wait a single second more to start making this place ours. It’s going to be…
