Mr. Magpie has coordinated a little getaway for myself and three of our dearest couple friends for my 40th. The trip includes a little bit of all of my favorite things: hiking (my friends are begrudgingly accommodating, ha), pool time, spa treatments, wine tasting, live music, good food, luxury accommodations, and, mainly, the company of old friends. In preparation for the adventure, I compiled a quirky “Jen’s 40th Playlist,” which begins with upbeat classic rock and country and then crescendos into late night dance party and karaoke territory. Songs for good nights, bare feet, best friends. I’ve been listening to it while zipping around town this week and it’s put me in the best mood.

I also compiled a dream wardrobe for this trip — what I’d buy and pack with a limitless budget. I’m digging the bold, bright color palette. Nobody puts 40 in the corner!

P.S. Interesting to revisit my thoughts on…turning 34. Mama mia, what changes were in store for me!
P.P.S. My biggest life lessons.
P.P.P.S. A playlist for a dinner party, and a playlist for chores at home.
These mood boards are fun!! What do you think you’ll actually pack?
Hi! TBD…!!! Despite being strategic in literally every other area of my life, I always wait until the week before a trip to plan/pack, sometimes overnighting things at the last minute! I am just so fitful in what I want to wear!
