A Little Bit of Retail Therapy

September 17, 2026 by Courtney Leave a Comment

Good morning. When life makes you slow down and get off of your feet, you do a little retail therapy. It’s been fun snooping around and I wanted to share some fun things that caught my eye.

THIS JUST IN

This bag is so pretty for fall. Great shape and color. It’s safe to say I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m finding all of the cute stuff for us.

The other day a friend walked in with these pants and I immediately ordered them. They are ADORABLE. So chic and cute in person. She went up one size for a baggy look. I went with a size 4. They are true to size unless you want them much larger.

I ordered these sneakers and can’t wait for them to arrive. They have wonderful reviews and are so cute.

GAME DAY BAG

These game day bags are darling. Riley has the navy version. These make really sweet gifts for the college girls. They are great for games and concerts. I don’t usually like a clear bag but this one is really well done. You can use code: COURTNEY20 for 20% off.

100% COTTON SWEATER

In an effort to wear more 100% cotton, this sweater is a great one. The reviews are phenomenal so I ordered one for Riley. The advice is to put it in the dryer for 5 minutes and then lay flat. Washes beautifully.

I might order this color for myself. So pretty and you know I love a neutral. It reminds me of a Faherty sweater which would be well over $100.

BAUBLE BAR PIECES

Wanted to share these new Bauble Bar pieces. The ring is the perfect size and so pretty. The necklace looks great with denim and a white top. I also pair it with this larger necklace.

This stack is ideal for fall with the warm colors. They are all separate so you can combine them or mix and match with bracelets you already have. I like incorporating my gold stack with these.

HIDE THE GRAYS

During our girls’ lake trip it came up that I go so much longer in between hair appointments now because of this root touch up. It’s a DREAM to use and works incredibly well. It’s free of toxins and smells and looks really natural. I am a user for life. The best $38 you will spend (and that is for TWO treatments).

HOME FINDS

I am head over heels for this new rug by Joanna Gaines. It’s so beautiful. It comes in three color ways. Unique, sophisticated and a touch of preppy. So good.

LOOKING FOR OUR BASEMENT

This table!!!! It’s so beautiful in person. Solid wood and it looks like something from McGee and Co. but half the price. This table is really beautiful if you are looking for a substantial real wood table. It’s not inexpensive but it’s solid and comes assembled. The reviews are wonderful.

I have my eye on this chandelier for our laundry room. I really like the scalloped shades and the color of them (love that they are not white). This would be beautiful in a bedroom as well. You won’t believe the price.

This bed has great reviews and is under $400!!! I am now looking at this for our basement. It gets such infrequent use so I would like to find something very reasonable.

FORMAL DRESSES

Over the course of the next year we are headed to three black tie weddings. Time to start shopping!

This is beautiful. I love the cut and high slit.

This is really pretty. I like the high neck and the back.

I am definitely a sucker for an A-line dress with pockets. This just seems so classic. A little overwhelmed that I need three dresses so I better start ordering. If you have found a formal dress you love lately, send it my way.

I Turned My White Sectional Green

September 16, 2026 by Courtney 1 Comment

family room

I certainly didn’t mean to turn our beautiful white sectional green. Let me back up. For the past few days I have been sidelined with a bad back. I can barely walk and have been out of commission (I have a bulged disc that flares up). The heating pad and ice treatments have been on Continue Reading …

lake trip

Good morning. I hope you had a lovely weekend. We are jumping back into the laundry room project which feels great. We decided to have the crown molding professionally installed which is happening today. After it is painted, we can install the wallpaper. More on that soon. Beginning this week with a very full heart Continue Reading …
