It feels tone deaf to be completely chipper on a Monday morning after the week we just endured. If it makes you feel any better, there are just nine more days left of Trump’s administration and we can — hopefully — turn our attention to healing. I am hopeful for a better 2021, especially knowing our president-elect recognizes the blatant racism that runs through America’s veins and isn’t shying away from talking about it. Now, we just need to do something about it. (While he’s goal-setting, maybe he can work on that vaccination rollout, too.)

Clearly I picked the wrong year to participate in Dry January. If you’re also declining booze this month (or just not a drinker in general), try these mocktails.

My first sartorial purchase of the year was this silk blouse. The additional 25% off sale ends at the end of today and items are returnable, so it’s worth giving something a shot if you have your eye on an item. I also adore these snakeskin-embossed flats.

The Sex and the City reboot has been confirmed!

I loved this response to those on social media who tell influencers to “stay in your lane” when it comes to politics.

It’s about time to pare down that skincare and beauty collection.

I just added this unique taper holder to my home.

Exploring heritage’s role in fashion houses today.

How’s this for a business cautionary tale? Kodak created the digital camera in 1975, but didn’t pursue digital photography products in fear that it would siphon money from analog film. The market was saturated by the time Kodak decided to throw its hat in the ring 15 years later.

A fun quiz for identifying your interior aesthetic. I got retro, which I don’t think is entirely true, but I do like a vintage moment.

I adore this striped sweater!

I finished watching Stylish With Jenna Lyons over the weekend and it’s a trainwreck. As this piece suggests, the show is bit of a documentary of a wealthy woman going through a mid-life crisis. On the positive side, it does give the viewer plenty of tips on how not to manage people in the workplace. (That said, I do think Jenna is a style icon. This show, however, did nothing to improve her personal brand.)

I can get on board with lördagsgodis, Sweden’s tradition of eating sweets on Saturdays.

A modern-meets-vintage necklace.

I feel like we’ll see Blair Eadie in this statement-making gingham dress sometime this year!

My parents gave me an Instant Pot for Christmas and I’m trying it out this week with chicken tikka masala.
