Saturday Shopping

Good morning. Heavy heart this morning because my Riley went back to school. It doesn’t get any easier but really grateful for the time with her. I’m just happy she was looking forward to heading back. . .what more could you ask for. I have a really fun Saturday Shopping lined up so let’s get straight to it.

CLASSIC PIECES

I am really crushing on this ice blue color. I think it’s beautiful paired with brown here or with winter white. This is a gorgeous sweater. This version is far less and really pretty, too!

This classic cardigan is a nice closet staple. I think this brown is so lovely but I also like the ivory. Goes with everything. I can’t speak to the quality of this one, but it’s an Amazon steal under $40.

Riley tried these pants on when she was here and fell in love. I usually acquiesce and give her all of my pieces, but these I kept! They are really great (I sized up).

This sweater makes me want to rent a lake house or at least turn on the fire and make a hot cup of tea. Such classic and cozy vibes.

AMAZON GOODIES

Spotted this pullover fleece and thought it was really cute. Especially for chilly walks or running to the store.

This zip up jacket version is also cute. So many color options (looking at the baby blue one for Riley).

This pullover reminds me so much of the Free People one. There are some great color combinations. Also nice for college game days.

The navy and white version of this pullover is darling!!!!

Do you all remember this jacket? I LOVE this jacket and I heard from so many that you do, too. It now comes in a stone color and it’s adorable!! The inside is so plush and warm. Highly recommend.

Here it is on. I think it’s one those pieces that is so much better in person than the store photo. And wow. . . I really went blonde for a while! These trees make me excited for the seasons. I so appreciate them now.

Here is the stone version. I just ordered it!! So excited.

ANTHROPOLOGIE

Well this is darn cute. It comes in a few different versions.

Did you know the Colette pant comes in a houndstooth print. What??? These are so cute.

LIVING IN LATELY

Pink sweatsuit for the win. I live in this at home. I love it so much. Highly recommend. A great Walmart buy. (sweatpants/ sweatshirt)

McGEE AND CO

A friend of mine is styling a family room and asked for my advice. We picked out this coffee table for i’t grand size. So good!! I can’t wait to see how she styles it.

We also chose this for her guest bathroom. So pretty.

Ladies, bust out some velvet ribbon on your existing curtain and you have this look! I would only do this in a bathroom that doesn’t get too much use of the shower. I just would be afraid of the constant steam and mildew.

HEART SWEATER

Have loved wearing this sweater. I like the oversized fit and it’s very cozy. This is a size small. It’s not quite as bright in person.

I still wear this watch every single day. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It’s such a great way to track your steps without being connected to a device or app. I am trying to quite the noise and I truly love this watch. If you don’t have one, I highly recommend. Can’t beat the price and I always get asked about it.

This gingham top is really cute. The feminine ruffle detail is so good. It’s now $22.

One of the best things we did for my son’s skin. I use these when I travel. These are a game changer, especially for teens and kids who play sports and sweat a great deal. So much more sanitary. We order them regularly. Riley uses them at school, too.

And if you want to surprise your teen daughter, buy her these! Riley loves them! In fact she left to drive back to school wearing a set.

NORDSTROM

This coat was last week’s best seller. Such a great coat and now on sale for 37% off.

Always a fan of Vuori. My friend had this on when we met for coffee and it’s really pretty.

This Fair Isle sweater comes in a really pretty cranberry version as well. Now on sale.

I like this style of handbag and this one is now under $60!

This is the type of jacket I would reach for over and over. A nice weight and I like the cut on this. It comes in a handful of colors and is under $100.

Well, guess who is buying a new Nodpod? This girl because I let Riley borrow mine when she wasn’t feeling well and had a headache. She if officially hooked. So off mine went to Notre Dame with her. Add to cart, please. Best invention ever.

I’m tempted to order the Bodypod. Does anyone have this? I feel like I would love it.

WAYFAIR

Looking for a large mirror? I can’t get over this price. What a fantastic deal and great dimensions.

I have my eye on this rug for our dining room. I have seen it used and it’s really pretty. It’s currently on sale.

If I were redesigning a bathroom right now, I would absolutely consider this vanity. It’s so beautiful. I am astounded at what you can get now (far less money than having it custom made . . take it from someone who made that mistake).

NOT YOUR GRANDMA’S RECLINER

There is nothing wrong with your Grandma’s recliner (my husband had one when I met him) but this one is darn good looking. They have come a long way! My sister had 2 very similar ones in her former home (and she’s a very talented designer). If done right, they are genius. This one caught my attention for sure. It also comes in a linen color.

BEST PURCHASE OF 2025

Hands down the best purchase I made for 2025 was my walking pad. I LOVE IT. It’s been life changing fro me. I can easily get in my steps, especially if the weather is bad, and I love hopping on it for 5-10 minutes after each meal (great for blood sugar). I love mine but wish I would have gotten one with a handle bar and incline like this one. I am not exaggerating when I say this has changed my life. SO GOOD.

LET’S TALK TRAVEL

Does anyone have this bag? I saw Jenny Reimold rave about it and I think I am very close to ordering. It fits under the seat on an airplane and has amazing organization on the inside (and fits a laptop). I LOVE my Beis bag for road trips but this may need to be my flight companion. It has the luggage sleeve so it can slide onto your carry on but fits sooooo much. I like the two zippered pockets because I would use one for snacks ( I always take my own when I fly) and one for headphones and phone. Very tempting.

A BREAK AT THE BEACH

If you are craving some quiet time at the beach, we would love to host you (winter dates are filling up). This is the perfect time to go without the crowd and mild temperatures.

I hope you have a great weekend. I will be staying very busy as I try to get used to Riley being gone again. Thank you for being here.
