ADORN
A little inspiration to dress up your basics with the sparkliest jewels you own.

LEARN
We all know that men’s and women’s shirts button up on opposite sides, but why is that still the case?

PREPARE
The Lilly Pulitzer for Target look book is finally out. Out of curiosity, I totaled the price of everything I’d love to own. It came to $500. Needless to say, I’ll be paring down to the must-haves: a pineapple serving dish, teak beach chairs, throw pillows, and pom pom trim shorts.

BAKE
My parents are coming to our place for Easter this year. The main dish and the sides will be easy to whip up, so I’m concentrating on the dessert. I’m not exactly sure what I’ll make yet, but this sounds divine.

VISIT
Here are seven places to see tulips, my favorite flower, in bloom this spring. (We’ve actually looked at visiting Holland, Mich. for the annual tulip festival.)

CONSIDER
Fran Lebowitz is one sassy broad, but I find much of her style commentary to be spot on. I completely agree that we should all invest in well made items and take care of them properly. And, for the love of God, no one should wear sweatpants in public. It’s basically waving the sartorial white flag.

FITNESS UPDATE
I’m down another pound for seven total! Heck yeah! I tried on a pair of compression capris at Old Navy yesterday, since everyone seems to love them. Uh, the white and blue pair were definitely sheer. I’m assuming a black pair wouldn’t be as scandalous!

IN OTHER NEWS
I just added a new feature to my side bar highlighting a weekly find for $50 or less. This week’s item is a lobster print silk canvas handbag for $50. It’s available in red and navy.

I don’t have a spot for it, but I love Schoolhouse’s latest addition to their lighting collection.

Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit l Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit last November seemed both reckless and naively hopeful. I’m so glad I went for it though, as our first fully vaccinated adventure has been the breath of fresh air we needed. (I’m also happy to report that most people are masked up walking outside, and there are plenty of social-distanced dining options in Chicago.)
Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave i Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave is thrilled to be an Instagram Boyfriend again when we're out for our coffee runs. ☕️ 😉 (Don’t worry, we haven’t stopped wearing our masks yet!)

I’d also like to point out that I’m embracing the middle part as not to let my Millennial show. 😉

I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings o I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings on the patio -- and this subscription to @winc couldn't haven't come at a better time to usher in the new season with wine in hand! 

If you're unfamiliar with Winc, the California-based winery was founded in 2012 with the belief that wine should be more accessible. So, they've introduced an online membership experience that suggests wines based on your taste preferences making it a really fun way to try wine if you’re at all intimidated by an expansive wine aisle!

Interested in trying it yourself? Use my link to get 40% off your first order and free shipping! That’s 4 bottles of wine for just $39! Learn more at winc.mivh.net/Ryyn3v

I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their cand I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their candles, but you're missing out if you don't have a taper shaver, too! It's an inexpensive gadget that can save you from forcing a candle into a holder and risking breakage — of either the holder or the candle itself. I linked to some options in today's blog post! (URL in bio.)
When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years ago, Dave added an indoor security camera to our living room. I’ll be the first to admit that the option for 24/7 surveillance (which can, thankfully, be shut off automatically when you arrive home) was a little strange, but it’s absolutely worth the peace of mind that comes with a smart camera. When we’ve been away, we’ve checked in on the cat to see what he’s been up to and we’ve been able to verify that the person detected in our house was someone we lent a key to! We’ve since decided to relocate that one outdoors and were delighted to have the opportunity to partner with @ecobeehome to try out their SmartCamera as an indoor replacement. It was a natural fit as we already have – and love – an ecobee thermostat and this camera integrates seamlessly into the brand’s app. The camera has a 180-degree field of view that lets you track activity in your home, giving us a much wider view of the main floor than the other camera allowed. Privacy is still paramount as the camera uses WiFi and GPS to detect when family members are home, which shuts off the recording option. It’s also equipped with voice controls and Alexa, allowing you to connect with the technology you need for your household. And, while it’s not the most important aspect of a smart camera, the design of this one is *really* good.
