My Latest Snags.
In anticipation of a warm weather getaway in a few weeks, I treated myself to one of these Thierry Colson dresses (70% off!) and will probably have purchased this Marni bag by the time this post goes live, too.

Weekend Musing.
There was a lovely little Instagram post by Salt and Whistle earlier this week, part of which read:
“Leave the dishes in the sink and sit around the table. Take the picture even though your hair is a mess…Listen to them tell you the story you’ve heard, again…It’s all fleeting. Don’t miss it.”
The musing offered permutations of many of our frequently-visited themes here on Magpie: living life, not visiting it; displacing the trivial (“the smidgies!”) to make space for the stuff that matters; letting things sit for a minute; leaning into the imperfect (“Forget your perfect offering…“!).
I loved the line: “Listen to them tell you the story you’ve heard, again.” How many of us listened to a story we’d heard dozens of times from a loved one over the holidays? That listening, with interest and all the right “no way!” and “oh my gosh!” commentary, is an act of love and patience. A deference to the joy of someone else.
Another random, often unremarked gesture of love: when someone tells me, “I was just thinking of you.” Or, even better, “Just texting to see how you’re doing.”
Yes, there are many widths of love.
Shopping Break.
+Stocked up on this hand soap for our kitchen sinks. In the photo at the top of this post (via), you can see a little scrub brush and I wanted to mention that I bought Mr. Magpie one of these beautiful scrubbers as a stocking stuffer. It actually sparks joy sitting out on the counter top! The “dish” is magnetic so it keeps the brush upright and in place.
+Love the look of Doen’s pointelle pieces. At the other end of the price spectrum: also love these cozy plush waffle henleys from Old Navy.
+I bought Mr. Magpie some of these dip dishes as a Christmas gift. Perfect for soy sauce / dipping sauce with sushi, dumplings, etc!
+These sports bras are in my cart in a few colors.
+More chic fitness finds here, but also love this bubblegum pink top and bottom combo.
+Have heard so many good things about this miracle balm from Jones Road.
+Love the wash and fit of these jeans. I need a new pair – I’m bored of all of my go-tos!
+Fun striped dress to throw on over a swimsuit on vacation / this summer.
+Now is the time to stock up on holiday decor for next year. These nutcracker ornaments are 50% off!
+Birthday jammies for your little love.
