Currently in My Shopping Cart…

I thought I’d share the items that are currently sitting in my digital shopping cart today…

+One of my favorite fashion bloggers, Arielle of SomethingNavy (shown above!), recently mentioned that Rag & Bone Jeans are her absolute favorite.  I’ve never owned a pair and am obsessing over these (available in more sizes here).  I think that the step-hem is going out of vogue, but I love the wash and cut of this pair — the way they taper at the ankle seems particularly flattering, and I die over the way Shopbop styled it: with a simple white tee and some chunky loafers (I’d wear these).

+I eyed these slides all last season but held off because I splurged on these beauties (mine are in a different colorway from last season, but the new ones in black are wearable with EVERYTHING).  Now they’re marked WAY down and still available in my size (a 5!) and I think I may need them for my upcoming trip to Florida…

+I have to be honest with myself: while I love dressing up and have always felt that getting dressed for the day — even while working from home, and for myself, with no plans to interact with anyone else! — is important for getting into a productive headspace, there are days when loungewear/athleisure is simply the most practical, as I’m rolling around on the floor with mini, fending off incoming missiles of food, prying trash out of Tilly’s mouth, wiping butts, running around Central Park, and being splashed with water during bathtime.  And so, I think I have earned a new pair of theseThese are also in my cart, but I’m having decision paralysis when it comes to color.  I had wanted the pink and was bummed to learn they’d sold out in my size.  Now I’m torn between the blue quartz (kinda cool) and the oatmeal (but will I regret such a light colored legging?!)

+Now that I’ve learned mini eats MUCH better when we use these at mealtime, I’m ordering two more.

+I’m debating between these and these for our bed — we need a new set of pillows because I have no idea how but we lost a bunch of them in the move and somehow wound up with a set of very very flat/thin ones that drive me nuts.  I’m intrigued by Parachute — well-priced for down pillows! — but those Amazon beauties are affordable and wonderful (read the reviews!).

+In my quest for complete cabinet/fridge organization, two of these are hanging in my Amazon cart.  I spent a good twenty minutes looking for ones that would stack on top of each other to make better use of our fridge space, which is currently a sea of La Croix — I was surprised how hard it was to find a set that stacked!

+I want to buy mini a piggy bank for her birthday — she’s received random gifts of money from friends and family.  I am torn between this one (we have a major giraffe theme going on in her room!) and this one in the elephant shape (maybe I’ve gone too far with the giraffe theme already?!)  Of course I’d love to buy her one of these ones, but the pricepoint is a leeeetle steep for a vesicle meant to promote financial responsibility.

+This precious sweatshirt for mini (on sale!)
