I see you, February! I hate wishing away any of my precious time in this life, but January has been a bit of a slog, hasn’t it? Above, I’m wearing new jeans* and a ribbed knit from a recent Sezane order (<<everything I picked linked there), and thought I’d share a few other items I’m seriously considering this upcoming month…
*Re: fit. I took a 2 in these and they’re still snug. I’m usually an 0 but I find Sezane pants run really slim and small. I would go up at least one, maybe two sizes. I have the tag on below because I was trying to decide whether to exchange for a 4 — but I ended up keeping the 2 because I thought the 4 would be too big. The wash and silhouette are SO good. I don’t own anything like them! The shirt is really cute with the feminine details. I took an XXS.
Other items on my radar for the month ahead:
01. Veronica Beard vest. I have nothing like this in my closet and I saw it and swooned. I love it styled as shown (especially with the white jeans) but also imagine over a long-sleeved tee or turtleneck to wear right now? Summery vibe for less with this.
02. These chunky gold earrings. These look heavy/vintage but are apparently very lightweight.
03. A Rue de Verneuil tote. I’ve had one in my cart for two weeks now.
05. Roz root-lifting hair spray. This product is getting a lot of buzz and the one thing I always ask when I have my hair blown out: can you get a little volume at the crown?! Thinking this might be handy. I just got my hair trimmed last week and my excellent stylist added some more layers so my hair has more movement / doesn’t look as weighed down at the ends while I’m growing it out!
06. Can’t stop thinking about these pant / shell sets from Julia Amory. They are spendy (and selling quickly) and I’ll need to have the pants hemmed…but they look so elegant!
07. New weight set for at-home workouts, with heavier weight options.
08. Still on the hunt for a really nice pair of sweats. Current front-runners: Spanx’s AirEssentials pants and half-zip or crewneck (I own and love one of the AirEssentials half-zips already — the material is phenomenal! — and how amazing is this striped crewneck version?!); sweatpants and sweatshirt from Perfectwhitetee; or one of these sets from Frank & Eileen.
09. These flared leggings — have heard they are a great fit for petites.
10. Will I regret surprising mini with these nail stickers?! I know she’ll love them. After a manicure hiatus owing to very thin nails, I got a fresh manicure with OPI’s white-pink color, Lisbon Wants Moor. It feels fresh.
P.S. Openness to joy.
P.P.S. On comparison — a nasty business!
P.P.P.S. Random things I’m loving.
These might not be “nice” enough but I love my Lou & Grey Signaturesoft Sweatpants. They are so soft, and come in petites, although as someone who usually buys petite pant sizes, I have been fine in regular lengths on these (they’re more jogger style). I wear them almost every day I work from home with a sweater on top.
Checking these out! Thank you! If you wear them daily, they must be GREAT!

I’d love a post comparing/contrasting the nice sweats that you’ve tried as I, too, am on the hunt! I have – and love – the Frank & Eileen Nantucket set (shorts) so I do recommend giving the Carmel a try. I tend to be around others in casual clothes far more often in the summer, but I’ve had a hard time justifying the cost for the “cozier” season when it’s largely just my own family who sees me.
Your bedding in the first shot looks so good! It’s reminding me that I really need a bedding refresh sooner than later!
Hi Lauren! Yes, I will absolutely share. So far I’ve tried and been lukewarm on a pair by The Great and a pair by Vuori. I’m still hunting for my next trial. I think Frank and Eileen will be next!
Thanks for the note on the bedding! All the details from this particular room are here —

You can see I have a vibe — ha! That blue-gray color just makes me feel so peaceful!
