Lately



 Bean boot fam!



How is your week going? Mine sped by as we were away Sunday- Tuesday skiing with family and friends at Holiday Valley which is a charming little resort in Ellicottville, New York! We have been many times. We went often growing up and then last year was the first year we had visited in a long while. We had so much fun we are trying to make it a yearly thing again. The skiing is SO much better there than Seven Springs and if you go on a weekday, you avoid crowds/lines. It's only 3.5 hours from Pittsburgh which is the best part! The conditions were really good Sunday and early Monday, but after that, it just got too warm and started to get slushy.

Sneak peeks of the sample photos!


I'm launching two products in collaboration with Beth Ladd in late March! I am so excited, albeit a bit nervous! I have been working with Beth and Patricia behind the scenes on this, who are amazing, creative businesswomen. They really let me run with these designs, and Beth took my vision and made it a reality while Patricia has kept us on track. It's opened my eyes to how much work goes into one singular product. I just got updated sample photos in yesterday and I am so excited. I got samples in early February and made edits to get to where we are today! I hope to have the updated samples in my hands late next week. AH! They're all handmade, so they take 6 weeks to ship, so we are launching in time to order for Mother's Day as they are a really nice giftable item. 





Dress// Heels// Bag (also here)

Wearing: With Easter coming up, I'm starting to think about what I am going to wear and this Dress is in the running! It is so comfortable and comes in 6 different colors. It runs roomy but true to size; I'm wearing a small! 

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: A Cane's opened in Pittsburgh, so we got it the other day. This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think it's that amazing. My sister went to Kentucky for school and they had Cane's there and I think that's the first time I've ever heard of it. The sauce is good, but I'm not even crazy for it. It has a long line every time we pass by the Cane's and I just don't get the hype! Are you a Cane's fan? 

Drinking: The bartender at the Inn at Perry Cabin told me about this gin, Nolet's, and had me taste it and it is fantastic. It is so smooth! I don't see it a lot at bars, so I always just default to Hendrick's but if they have it at a bar or restaurant, I will request it! 

Watching:
 I cannot get enough of Love is Blind Season 6! I started watching the two new episodes last night. I think this is the wildest season! I want to start Summer House. I don't watch a ton of reality TV anymore, but my husband and I both enjoy Summer House and watch together. 

Loving: This is one of my favorite dresses ever, and it's back in stock! I got a size small, and I would say it fits like a size 4! It is the perfect spring wedding guest dress, but I also wear it out for date night and other events! Tuckernuck just launched a points program and I've never joined something faster! I love when brands do points and birthday gifts and that kind of thing! 

Wanting:
Love the color of this cashmere wrap so much! Love these flat gold sandals SO much. I basically only wear metallic sandals anymore because they pair so well with everything! Ordered this dress in navy- so classic and chic!

Pittsburgh: The next restaurant on my list to try is Mola thanks to so many of you that recommended it! I live for sushi and their menu looks amazing.

Amazon Rec: Currently in my cart: the sweetest little Easter gift for a special one year old, a fun little gift for a friend's 30th bourbon-themed birthday party, these sheet masks I have been seeing everywhere that you wear for several hours, and hangers because I am constantly repurchasing!

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: This candle is called, 'retreat' and smells like a cozy, high end spa. I like any scent with sandalwood and you can definitely smell that. It's in a beautiful glass jar, too. 

Traveling: My mom and I are planning a little mother-daughter getaway for March! I'm so excited, I love traveling with my mom. 

Quoting: 'If you weren't ready, you wouldn't have the opportunity.'  // See more of my favorites, here.
