Little Bits

{pretty new jewels from the Lulu Frost Sample Sale + Sweet & Spark, a new fave}

Just popping in to share a few little recent snaps I took over the past week.  On a separate note, I had the best weekend.  On Saturday I met up with family (both sisters, my aunt + cousin) in Connecticut for brunch at Terrain (more on that to come.)  And on Sunday, I had what I could only describe as my perfect “me” day.  I went to the gym (finally), got in some much needed pampering (manicure/pedicure/spray tan) and spent the entire room crafting + shooting DIY projects.  It’s so important to have days like that – really, no better way to recharge your batteries!

What I picked up at Terrain…  hickory coasters + the latest issue of Kinfolk Magazine (recommended to me by my sis!

WHITEDRESS_1 My fave Zara heels… from a recent shoot.

Bits1 Two recent favorite things:  The latest edition of Verily Mag, + white truffle oil I bought at the market in San Fran!  Something you may not know about me is that I am absolutely obsessed with truffle-anything.  I’d probably add truffle oil to my bath if it were acceptable.

bits3 This candle, from AERIN’s new home line, smells SO good…. gardenia, jasmine, tuberose…. I light it and feel like I’m somewhere far away, tropical perhaps.  My boyfriend is a little sick of all of the candles I bring home, but even he had to admit that this one smells amazing.

Sometimes it’s fun to add a bold accent of color to a very neutral outfit.  This sunny little mini from Coach was the perfect POP to this outfit… and also – how can you not be in a good mood carrying such a sunny color!

I hope you are having a good week so far… it’s been a busy one at work (meetings, meetings, meetings!) but I’m going to try to get outside today for even 15 minutes… it’s perfect outside!
