• Dreaming of reasons to get dressed (other than to take photos) meanwhile filling my TJMaxx cart with piles of shoes, bags, and dresses. Anyone else acting like the reopening of their website has been the greatest thing since quarantine began? I’ve already placed four orders, the clearance prices are so good. .

  • Happy summer solstice! Hard to believe we've already reached the longest day of the year; it always goes too fast, even when we've lost all concept of time.

  • Happy Memorial Day! Hope you had a good long weekend, not that it seems to mean much these days, it’s kind of one been one long, blurry weekend since mid-March. Despite the pandemic, the summer still brings with it some hope, of at least a tiny bit of normalcy returning to our lives. .

  • When I first started my blog, it was with the intent to document my secondhand shopping, deal-hunting ways. While of course I still love a good deal; I enjoy the thrill of happening upon a piece I never knew I needed until it was starring me in the face, and appreciate the victory of finally finding an item I’ve been searching for for years. But I know in some ways I’ve gotten away from that, with the desire to stay relevant and have ‘shoppable’ outfits, even though the truth is that some of my favorite pieces were loved by someone else before me, some are so old there is no way to tell where they even came from, and try as I might, I can’t provide the luxury I so often enjoy, of clicking a link for something to be purchased immediately. 
In this homogenized world of Instagram, I may have forgotten what I actually love, because someone else is telling me what to love. 
This much I do know is true, before instagram, I loved cherry blossoms and I loved finding pieces by @joie at the thrift store. When I spotted this sweater at @thredup , it just immediately had to go into my cart. While I can’t find another just like it, you can still shop some similar ones, and if you really love it, I wish you the best of luck with your hunt. .

  • Trying my best to keep my immune system up these days, getting sleep, drinking water, doing yoga, and taking @maryruthorganics elderberry supplement. Made with non GMO, high quality ingredients, the mother-daughter team behind Mary Ruth Organics created this easy to absorb, super great tasting elderberry supplement that has no added sugars. While I’ve enjoyed my literally sugar coated elderberry gummies in the past, I’m so much happier taking this concentrated extract!  #maryruthpartner #elderberry #immunityboost

  • If I’d managed to get dressed for brunch on Sunday this is what I would have worn, and really I should have; staying in pajamas all day isn’t good for my mental health. .
