A handful of my absolute favorite possessions, some newer acquisitions and some older…
SCALLOPED STATIONERY — MY FAVORITE VEHICLE FOR QUICK NOTES TO FRIENDS
MY FAVORITE FINE-POINT PENS — HAVE USED SINCE HIGH SCHOOL!
MINNA MITTENS — THE WARMEST (FLEECE-LINED!)
J. CREW TISSUE TURTLENECKS — LIVE IN THESE + LOVE TO PAIR WITH CARDIGANS
DARN TOUGH SOCKS — THE WARMEST SOCK…IT JUST *HUGS* YOUR FOOT
ELEMIS MAKEUP REMOVING BALM — THIS IS SORT OF LIKE MY “EVENING INDULGENCE” WHEN I’VE HAD A LONG DAY…IT MELTS INTO SKIN, SMELLS LIKE HEAVEN, + IS REMOVED WITH WARM WASHCLOTH! ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I’VE BEEN TO A SPA BEFORE BED
EUROPEAN SAVORY PASTRY TWISTS — MY MIL INTRODUCED ME TO THESE (THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR BRANDS) + THEY ARE MY FAVORITE HAPPY HOUR NIBBLE
CHANEL BAG — I BOUGHT THIS FOR MYSELF AFTER MEETING A MAJOR WORK MILESTONE TWO CAREERS AGO AND IT HAS PROVEN TO BE MY BEST INVESTMENT; CAN BE DRESSED UP OR DOWN, WORKS WITH ANY OUTFIT IN ANY SEASON, AND AT ANY AGE!
ARMANI MASCARA — MY LONGTIME FAVORITE…LOVE A DARK, DRAMATIC LASH
FAUX FUR STOLE — THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL FESTIVE WITH ZERO EFFORT! PAIR WITH JEANS AND A CREWNECK SWEATER AND THERE YOU GO
HERMES WATCH — WEARING THIS WITH ANYTHING (EVEN JEANS AND A TEE) MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS
LAKE PAJAMAS SHORTS SET — JUST THINKING ABOUT THEM RELAXES ME…SO SOFT
MINI CUTTING BOARD — SO RANDOM, BUT I USE THIS MORE THAN ANY OTHER CUTTING BOARD IN OUR HOME…PERFECT SIZE FOR PREPARING A SANDWICH, SLICING CITRUS FOR A COCKTAIL, DICING GRAPES FOR LITTLE ONES
CHAMPAGNE COUPES — MINE ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THESE AND THEY MAKE A WEEKNIGHT COCKTAIL OR GLASS OF SPARKLING WINE SO SPECIAL
Other favorites, not seen above…
MR CLEAN GLOVES — THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET MANICURES + DO AS MUCH DISH-WASHING AND COOKING AS I DO
NO 6 CLOG BOOTS — STILL MY FAVORITE…I REALIZED TODAY IN PART BECAUSE THEY’RE JUST SO EASY TO PULL ON AND GO!
PEPPERMINT TEA — DRINK THIS CLOSE TO DAILY…THE SMOOTHEST
MONOGRAMMED COSMETIC POUCH — BRINGS ME JOY EVERY DAY HAVING THIS IN MY BAG
MY NEW SLIPPERS — IMPOSSIBLY COMFORTABLE AND WARM…I EVEN WALK TILLY IN THESE (SHHH!)
“1+1 = 3” OR “RAVENTOS I BLANC” CAVAS — I LOVE A WEEKNIGHT SPARKLING WINE, AND THESE ARE AFFORDABLE AND ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS WHEN YOU NEED TO LIVEN UP A TUESDAY NIGHT, PREFERABLY OUT OF A COUPE…FOR DC LOCALS, YOU CAN FIND 1+1 = 3 OFTEN ON SALE AT CALVERT + WOODLEY FOR AROUND $15!
BOLL + BRANCH BED BLANKET — LOVE THE WEIGHT AND TEXTURE OF THIS BLANKET…SO SOFT
P.S. My favorite home gear and my last roundup of favorite things.
P.P.S. All my favorite skincare and beauty.
P.P.P.S. On raising a child of books.
The JCrew tissue turtlenecks are the BEST! I’ve had a few for years and are perfect for layering or wearing alone if you live in the South. Think I’ll add a new color or two now! Hope you are well, Jen, and enjoying the season! xo H
Thank you, Heidi! Agree — the best! Interesting that they even work well in warmer climates but still look “seasonal.” Chic chic!

I’m enjoying my peppermint tea too, however I do have a question…do you add anything to your cup? Milk? Sugar? Honey? Just curious
Thank you.
Hi! I drink it plain, nothing added. I love the flavor!
