Thank you for all of your well wishes on Instagram over the past couple of weeks. My eye muscle surgery went well and I’m on the mend! Cosmetically, my eye is finally straight and not turned inward. But more importantly, I can see! I didn’t realize that my depth perception was essentially non-existent. Everything pops more than it did before! I had been seeing everything like a one-dimensional photograph with a slight bokeh around the edges of objects. It’s difficult to explain, but it’s kind of like getting glasses for the first time and you can finally see the detail that didn’t exist before. It’s really incredible and I’m beyond grateful for the surgical team.

The latest issue of Bon Appetit was filled with can’t-wait-to-make-it recipes. I’m going to start with roasted brussels sprouts with gochujang brown butter.

This home tour is a good reminder that layering neutrals is anything but boring.

Bookmark this recipe for a classic Manhattan cocktail.

Save 20% on the best winter candle today only! The glass can be repurposed for cocktails later, making it a wonderful gift as well.

The claw clip of the ’90s is back.

The trailer for the Sex and the City reboot has been released.

The prettiest neutral Christmas decorations.

The dress I ordered didn’t work out (it ran a bit small and the quality doesn’t justify the price). I still wanted something new to wear when I see extended family over Thanksgiving weekend and ordered this blouse to try. Fingers crossed that it works!

I love this moody space.

Nine credit cards that cover the cost of TSA PreCheck and Global Entry.

I hope you have a lovely week!

Happy first day of November! This year has mercifully flown by and I’m excited to embrace the holiday season — although, maybe brands could hold off on sending Christmas content for another week.

And while I’d like to wait just a little bit longer before we’re knee-deep in Christmas cheer, I really do like these green gingham stockings.

Stuff mini pumpkins with mushrooms and cheese for a beautiful fall dish.

A snapshot of our living and dining rooms has become my most-liked photo on Instagram.

I have such dry skin once the weather gets cooler and recently tried a sample of this hand cream. I love it!

This made me smile!

The names for paint colors seem so random sometimes, but it’s even worse when AI takes the reins.

Loungewear dominated my favorite purchases of October.

Does anyone else kind of miss bad photos?

This Madewell tote is a good one!

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Peek inside the train carriage Wes Anderson designed.

In time for Halloween: the history of cemeteries.

I just ordered a set of garland ties for the upcoming holiday season. They act like a twist tie, which will help garlands stay put on a staircase railing better than Command Hooks do.

Even if we don’t realize it, adjectives in English absolutely have an order they must follow.

I loved looking through the galleries of these time capsule homes for sale in the Chicago area.

Yes, Reese’s pumpkins do taste better than a regular peanut butter cup.

I can’t get over how much I love the print on this blouse.

Snag a set of colorful coupes just in time for holiday entertaining. The peach set is my favorite.

We’ve been talking about going to Oktoberfest for the past couple of years and just booked a Munich hotel for 2022! It’s fully refundable if things change over the next year and flights aren’t even available to book yet, but still! It feels so much more likely now that the hotel is settled! If you’ve been to Munich, please send recommendations! We’re going to do five nights in the city and then head somewhere else (TBD). If Oktoberfest is on your bucket list, here’s a handy guide I came across.

I’m a huge fan of a physical planner and I have my eye on this one for ’22.

Here are 20 fun facts about James Bond. (We’ve started watching all of the Bond films chronologically. We knocked out Dr. No and From Russia With Love last week.)

This had me cracking up!

I keep clicking on this coat every single day. It’s good, isn’t it? That color!

Did you hear that Eminem opened a restaurant in Detroit called Mom’s Spaghetti? If that’s not ridiculous enough, wait till you watch the commercial.

My favorite fall and winter sweater is back, this time in a pretty camel hue.
