A quick list of my favorite recent discoveries:
01. This Rhoback fitness dress — the fit is so, so good. I was thinking over the weekend this would be the perfect dress for the Masters!
02. These “fancy” (better ingredient) Mounds bars — the perfect size, too, IMO, for a little post-meal sweet snack.
03. This side table. It has such a fantastic design — can be used almost like a lap desk while on a sofa, and also can be moved around as a little cocktail table when you need it. Very chic TV dinner table.
04. Sarah Creal mascara — omg?! I am NOT a tubing mascara gal (I find its removal so messy) but had read so much about this and decided to try. It is incredible. Gives you the longest, most fanned-out lashes you’ve ever seen on yourself. I was honestly astounded. The results make it worth the slightly annoying removal process. BTW, I linked to this product at Sephora because everyone now has access to the 10% off! All my favorite Sephora sale finds here. Strongly rec trying this insanely good mascara. The other item I’d urge you to try while discounted: this Chris McMillan blow-dry spray for the glossiest blowout of your life. Works great on fine hair — you can use a lot and it doesn’t weigh hair down. Smells divine, too!
05. This reverse fleece sweatshirt I’ve been wearing every morning this week — the texture makes it fun and a little “undressed” in a cool way, especially when paired with trending jeans or pull-on pants, though it can also be worn with athleisure (as I have been). Selling out in certain colors! I’ve asked them for a promo code but haven’t heard back yet — I know a lot of you would like one!
06. Freda Salvador sandals! A lot of you snapped these up while on sale (20% off now!). The suede ones are SO comfortable and a good traveling shoe. I also got the fun plastic jellie style ones (seen at top photo). Candidly, these are less comfortable – I wouldn’t walk all day in them – but they are fantastically fun for a little outing / happy hour / etc. If you’re looking for a more comfortable jellie shoe to walk in, try Loeffler.
07. I just pulled out all my spring/summer dresses and can’t wait to live in them. I’m definitely a dress girl at heart. Two great everyday options: this “RSVP” dress which literally can work for ANY occasion (I own in black and it has a movie star quality to it — a striking silhouette, a sense of chic restraint) and this tee dress you all love so much. Amazing additions to your week-in-week-out uniform.
08. Varley shorts! I love them paired with a good-quality tee (<<this $48 wonder was just restocked in all sizes – run!) and a matching / same-color half zip or knit situation. Makes me feel so pulled together on the soccer sidelines, running errands, etc.
09. Mother Half-Pipe joveralls! OMG. You know I love this denim silhouette (I own in three washes and they’re so great for petites — you can either do their ankle version or the actual petites style; I own both and both work great) so I had to grab the overall version. I joked on Instagram that my younger self would be astonished by how far we come but also deeply thrilled to know that she can still wear joveralls in her 40s. These have such a cool fit and I love layering over a tee with a bandana scarf or a cool blouse.
10. Best running shorts. Want them in every color, and they were recently restocked in lots of great ones (the blue!). These are, like all Rhone fitness items, so well-designed. The perfect length and looseness, lined, and with a zipper pocket in the back. I absolutely love the way these fit and just let you move without any hindrance. Reminder that SHOOP20 gets you 20% off! And while we’re talking great fitness buys, a reminder that Zappos is offering 20% off my favorite running and gym sneakers (love that volt yellow color) as well as my kids’ favorite everyday sneakers (AND, unrelated to athletics, Lilly Pulitzer dresses and waterproof loafers for kids!).

I have been absolutely addicted to those Hu dark chocolate coconut bites! SO good. I find myself going to the store immediately when I run out — the 6 pack you mentioned solves that!
Agree on the Freda Salvador jelly fisherman sandals — I bought the suede pair first and it was my favorite sandals to wear last summer. I was disappointed by the discomfort I had with the jellies! They really cut into the skin, unfortunately… but my workaround has been to wear plain white socks (with a ruffle hem, because why not… ) with them, which is a very unusual style for me but this at least lets me wear them without regretting it at the end of the day. I typically say no immediately if a shoe is uncomfortable as I loathe the break-in period, but made an exception with this pair. Hopefully they soften in time, because I love them so much!
They are SO cute and I agree — worth a little problem-solving to make them work. The suede ones are ultra-comfortable though.
So glad you like the Hu chocolates too! I just had one for dessert 🙂

Do you ever think going to UVA turned you into a dress girl? Former catholic school girl here, but I swear I did not consider them to be such an essential wardrobe piece until I went to UVA for grad school! Plus sperrys! and of course…the occasional cowgirl boot! Dying to get back to Cville sometime soon as it’s perfect year round!
Ahhh, UVA! I do think it pushed me deeper into preppy dress territory, although I came in with a full suitcase of Lilly Pulitzer already! :). I do think I wore a lot less dresses in high school proper — it was more about being lowkey preppy, almost androgynous, with chinos and oxfords and polos and madras shorts!

Would you ever do a roundup of Landon’s fitness wear favorites? My husband needs all new athletic wear and his siblings and mom and I will be replacing everything come his birthday. We’re mostly hikers but he likes the option of a gym workout. Lately he’s been wearing the performance wool from Stoic but that’s not a great hot weather option.
Also, they don’t really sell athletic dresses over here, and every time I wear an old not particularly special lululemon one I get French women stopping me to ask about it!
So interesting about the no athletic dresses! I wonder why!
Yes, will ask him for his favorites! Great prompt!
