+FINISH EVERY DAY AND BE DONE WITH IT: I loved this excerpt from a letter between Ralph Waldo Emerson and his daughter — the sentiments are about half of what drives my continuous refrain: “Onward!” Keep moving! Leave “the rotten yesterdays” behind. (Related: you can look at the past, but don’t stare.)
+LET IT GO X CAAMP: A propos of Emerson’s words, I found myself listening to this Caamp song on repeat this week (and I’m not really a song repeater!). You listen and your shoulders drop just a little bit; you release your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Beautiful if you need the reminder that not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry.
+DOEN X GAP: ICYMI: Doen released its second collaborative collection with Gap yesterday! Run, run, run! These pieces will sell out if they haven’t already. I got this shirt from the last collection (in a different pattern) and it remains one of my most-worn blouses — super airy, great quality, fab print. They generously sent me this skirt and top set and I wore it yesterday! At the time of writing this, I’m not sure if I was able to snag them, but I have this and this in my cart for when the pieces go live! Do I also need this!?

+EVERYTHING IS A DIARY: I was charmed by the sentiment in this post. It reminded me of our conversation about our signatures — the little details and idiosyncrasies that make you you.
+CROSSWORD CULTURE: This reel made me LOL. You’ll get it if you’re into crosswords. (Which reminds me that last year around this time, Landon and I were really into leaving a crossword puzzle book out on the kitchen counter. Sometimes we’d work on them together; other times, we’d fill in a word independently. It was a really sweet way to connect, sometimes asynchronously, throughout the day. My favorite was this NYT book of Wednesday puzzles — not too easy, not too hard — and it comes with spiral binding, which is, of course, elite.)
+EYEING + BUYING: Lots of fun prelude-to-summer finds this week. I still can’t stop thinking about this bungee-cord-detail straw hat from Lack of Color, and Lake’s new summer pajama lineup had me adding several styles, including this, to cart.
LACK OF COLOR HAT // LAKE PAJAMAS // LOEWE BAG // TUCKERNUCK COVER UP // ESKER SHOWER STEAMER SET // BY ALONA PIA NECKLACE // RYAN SIMKHAI SUNGLASSES // HAVAIANAS SANDALS // DIVI AIR DRY HAIR CREAM

The Emerson quote is timely for me – this theme has been appearing everywhere for me lately. I recently heard it in a choral piece / hymn written in the 1700s: “forget the path already trod, and onward urge thy way…” Very freeing.
Oh I love this — thank you for sharing!
This is the best thing to read! And I love the lake pink pajamas. Great song too.
Thank you!! xx
