Friday Favorites
Yay, it’s Friday! Or does it feel like a Wednesday to you? I know it can feel like they all blend together now. I’ve been keeping busy with coaching clients and moving the shop over to the main site so we’re not running two websites. Bringing it all in house feels good and like the right time to do it. There will be new inventory from France is coming soon! Today I thought I’d bring back another old school post - Friday Favorites! I’ve missed these simple types of posts and hope you have too. Here are some things I’ve been loving lately, from my favorite flowy dress to what I’m reading.
Incorporating a creative practice into your life, even if it’s only 5 minutes, goes a long way in making things feel more balanced. I know that the days when I take some time to paint or make pottery, I feel more at ease. I love how simple and easy these tips are to implement.
I just picked up this book as the title intrigued me. I’ve always enjoyed spending quiet time alone, and this book delves into the lives of creative people in history who have dedicated lots of solitary time to creativity. From Thoreau to Emily Dickinson to Cezanne and more, this provides a fascinating peek into their lives as well as analyzes solitude and creativity from a philosophical point of view.
I’ve never watched a lot of reality TV, so I don’t know much about the Kardashian-Jenner family, but I recently saw Kendall Jenner’s video home tour with Architectural Digest and it’s gorgeous! Her living room looks so welcoming with all those layered textures and many of the rooms are filled with modern art and pops of color!
A FEW RECENT BUYS
I have been wearing this maxi dress non-stop at home. It’s super breezy but feels elegant and is a nice change from yoga pants. It comes in over 40 different colors/patterns and at $30 you can’t go wrong!
I love a candle that can double as an interesting decor piece. The sleek design of this one paired with the matte ceramic finish is modern yet down to earth.
This super soft and really affordable throw blanket comes in tons of lovely colors. I also love the texture of this throw - it’s incredibly soft and warm! Both are great for layering in coziness for fall.
These votive candles make the perfect small gifts - the concrete container is unique, and the Santal scent is universally appealing - woody and slightly floral, but not heavy. Another favorite is this candle brand, it’s so classic and timeless. Buying a set of small candles is perfect if you’re unsure which scent you’ll like best.
This is the loveliest smelling deodorant I’ve ever tried and when it goes on sale I stock up!
My fall wardrobe uniform is a chunky black sweater and jeans. Being in California, I prefer a cotton blend that won’t make me overheat and is great for the in-between weather. I’m a jeans person, through and through! This brand is one of my favorites - I love their indigo skinny jeans and their more relaxed boyfriend jeans. It might be an unpopular opinion, but I love button front jeans like this black pair - I think they look a little more vintage and cool!
What are you up to this weekend? My Mom is coming to stay with us for the weekend and I’m hoping to get time to paint with her. She is an incredible artist and I love watching her work magic with the canvas!
