Lately

Hope you all are having a great week! This has been a really good week. Lots of great things have happened, so my spirits are high! 

I have so much to update you all on- our trip to Charleston, our Valentine's Day at the Inn at Perry Cabin, outfits, and more! I'm so behind. But I will say, I always love having too much content on deck rather than too little! 

We are actually headed away again to go skiing with family and friends. I am hoping for good conditions, but we are just going 5 hours away, so I'm thinking it could just be slush. However, we are going with family and friends, so we will make the best of it regardless! 

I will try and schedule March a bit slower as February ended up being jam-packed and April is already jam-packed. However, I do love having lots of plans on the calendar, but sometimes I need to remember to rest!

Wearing: I've been wearing this Cardigan a lot lately. It's comfortable and polished. I am wearing my true size small, and it comes in 5 colors! These Jeans are amazing, and they're from a brand that would not be top of mind for jeans, but wow, they're so good. The fit is spot-on and they are so sleek and classic. They run true to size; I am wearing a size 4. They have a nice bit of stretch to them, and I feel like they suck me in in all of the right places but still so comfortable. 

Are you following me on the LikeToKnowIt app?! You can shop all of my outfits, favorite finds, and more in the app. I am constantly updating it with the latest! You can also access all of my posts, here, if you don't use LTK!
Eating: Do you all have fish fry's for Lent? We have them here in Pittsburgh at places like churches and fire halls and so many restaurants have a fish special on Fridays. We love St. Valentine's Fish Fry (I think that's the Bethel Park area). The fish is SO good and absolutely huge. I ate some for dinner and then again for lunch the next day. If you are local to Pittsburgh, do you have a fish fry recommendation? We also love the fish at Recon Brewery in South Fayette. It's insanely good. 

Drinking: If you're looking for a little treat, try the espresso con panna at Starbucks. Many Starbucks won't know what it is, so just ask for a double espresso with whipped cream. It's SO good.



Sale: This cocktail dress is STUNNING. I have it and have worn it on several occasions. It's on sale for $104 and in my opinion, looks like a $600+ ML Monique Lhuillier dress. I also tried this dress, which is also incredibly stunning and on sale right now for $87. Crazy. Both run TTS!

Sale II: Tory Burch's private sale has begun! You can usually snag really great deals. These cocktail napkins are a steal and so nice to have on hand to give as a hostess gift! Love this polo dress, these sandals, this little black dress, this tote, and this handbag.

Watching: I got sucked into the latest season of Love Is Blind. I binged all 6 episodes in about 2 days. I don't normally go to bed late, but I stayed up LATE to keep watching, and the next day, I was so tired. I haven't been that tired in ages! So I took a nap with my pup, and look how cute he is! Anyway, more episodes came out last night, and I started watching, but only a few came out, so I couldn't stay up binging (I would have if I could have, ha!!) You should watch it if you are looking for something to watch. It's a WILD reality dating show, but I feel like this season is the best yet. I'm counting down the days until more episodes come out next week. 


Slippers (this pair is on major sale)
Loving: It was about time to get new slippers. I was about to put holes in my pink pair! I just re-ordered the same pair I have and love in another color. I love this particular pair because of how flexible the sole is. I wear these inside only so I don't need the sole to be super rugged. 

Loving II: I'm launching a product collaboration with Beth Ladd that will launch in a few weeks. I am SO excited about this. I have been approached by several brands in past years to do a product collaboration and I have turned them down because I never felt like it was the right fit. This one felt so right! I got the samples in last week and that's when it really felt real! We made a few edits to make sure we are getting it right and making the best product but I just know it'll be so good!

Wanting:
Love the cut of this collared athletic shirt. A really great basic that I know I'd wear often in the warmer months. I've seen so many battery-operated sconces over the last few years, but they all look cheap to me. This is the first one where I've thought they look good. I have the silver in my cart! This dress is perfect for a black tie wedding and is giving major How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days vibes. 

Pittsburgh: We tried out the new Barcelona Wine Bar that opened last month. It's on Penn Ave downtown and is a tapas-style restaurant. It's such a chic restaurant, and the food is SO good. The service was also excellent. I recommend making a reservation. When we went, it was PACKED. It was so lovely to see so many people enjoying a new restaurant downtown! My favorite thing that I ate was the Tuna crudo, but everything was fantastic.

Amazon Rec: I shared my February Amazon finds on Monday. Have you checked it out yet? You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!

Smelling: I finally caved and ordered this pricey hand lotion. My husband and I both love it, and we have the smaller tubes, but it's going to be so nice to have the big pump bottle on our counter so we can hydrate constantly. My hands are always SO dry. It's truly the best scent ever. I used my own code, SUMMERWIND, which saved me about $15. It works on sooo many products, not just Aesop.
