Lately

Cashmere Funnel Neck// Faux Fur Vest (sold out)
(What I wore out on Tuesday)


I hope you all have been having a great week so far! Can you believe we are almost done with January? Next week is that last full week! I feel like this winter is flying by, which is OK with me because I am ready for spring! 

We got a decent amount of snow here in Pittsburgh Sunday into Monday so that was fun. I always love when we get big snowfalls as long as we don't have to be out driving in it! I find it so cozy and peaceful. The following days after are not the most fun because it all turns to icky gray slush! 

It is supposed to be in the single digits and even in the negatives this weekend so I am bracing for the cold. Normally, I'd try not to leave the house but we do have dinner plans at one of our favorite restaurants which I am really excited about. I will just wear layers, ha!!

Sunglasses// Sweater (on major sale)

Wearing: I am in love with these Sunglasses.They are under $25. I haven't bought a designer pair of sunglasses in so long. I have found so many amazing pairs on Amazon. The lenses on this pair are really nice for the price and I love the caramel frames! 

Eating: If you are local to Pittsburgh, do not sleep on the Market District personal chicken pot pies. They were SO good. Worth every single calorie! 

Drinking: We went out for an impromptu dinner on Tuesday night to one of my favorite places and I had a Lychee martini. I had never had one before but oh my goodness it was fabulous. It was pretty sweet and I typically don't like sweet drinks, but something about this was just fresh and delicious tasting. A real treat for a Tuesday! 

Sale: Tuckernuck is having its annual online sample sale on January 25-27th. The sale will have over 1500 items up to 85% off. They're offering a VIP access period on January 25th from 9am-12pm EST. So if you want to shop it before everyone else, you can purchase a ticket. Otherwise, it starts at noon on the 25th and you'll be put in a virtual line (similar to the Lilly Pulitzer sale). I haven't seen a preview of what will be included, but I will be doing the VIP access so I'll be able to put together a big post with all that you need to know before shopping at noon on the 25th! I'll try to pull photos of things I already own and love so I can share as much sizing and quality info as I can!  Shipping will be $5 and all sales will be final. In a final sale situation, if you are between a size, I always suggest sizing up vs. down because you can always tailor it down to fit! Their sale was really good last year but just a warning, things sold out FAST so just be ready to get in line and be ready to act fast. If you miss out on something, remember, it is just a sale, and also remember that just because it is on sale, it doesn't mean you need it! Here's their sale FAQ page for more information! 

Sale II: Addison Bay is one of my favorite resources for athletic clothes and their biggest sale of the year is happening this morning starting at 10AM ET through Friday, January 21. So many 2021 styles will be discounted 50-80% off! 

Watching:
A new season of Summer House started on Monday night. We love watching this show. I used to watch a ton of reality TV and now this is one of the very few I have been watching over the past few years! It's on Bravo. So entertaining! We actually never watched Winter House so we are going to start that, too. We have been low on shows lately and haven't been watching much TV! 

Loving: Am I nuts or are these cute? I can't decide if I think they're awful or amazing? Part of me is leaning towards amazing.
Wanting: Ok how fantastic is this huge leather tote. It's so stunning. WANT! And this navy bag? Wow. 

Pittsburgh: We got about half a foot of snow on Sunday into Monday. I read this local news article of a boy's wrestling team shoveling elderly and disabled people in their community and it warmed my heart. In a weird day, it seemed 'old school' in that I feel like that sense of community and stewardship is missing in today's world! It was nice to see a group of young people setting a good example for others. 

Donating: Every month I pick a random animal shelter around Pittsburgh to donate to. There are so many and this month I found Senior Hearts which is a non-profit that focuses on rescuing senior dogs and getting them adopted. It breaks my heart to think about a senior dog not having a loving home. I remember Mac when he was getting older and I just can't even think of him having been in a shelter in his last few years. 

Quoting: See more of my favorites, here.
