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
