Lately

This cute little delivery, thanks to Rifle Paper Co! They shared a code SYDNEY20 for 20% off through April 30th! 

Is everyone having a nice week? It has been a good one around here! I was in a great groove with work this week, accomplishing a lot which feels good. I got in a few good workouts so far and have been on lots of walks as we have had some great weather again. This weekend, it was cold and snowy but it turned around on Monday. 

I can't believe we are already halfway through March. I truly feel like it was just New Year's Eve yesterday! 

This week, I received the final product for my Beth Ladd collaboration, and I am SO excited to launch it at the end of the month! I have started working on shooting it and creating content around it. I hope you all love it as much as I do! 

Henry got a bath from Pittsburgh Mobile Grooming- it is a company one of you all recommended and I have been so pleased with them! They do SUCH a good job with Henry. I could not recommend them more! 
Tank (under $40)// Shorts (under $45)

Wearing: I wanted to get a few new tanks and shorts for spring/summer Orange Theory classes and I am so incredibly pleased with this tank and shorts set. They are sold separately but come in so many coordinating colors. They're modest without being *too* modest, if that makes sense. The tank is so breathable and very loose, which I like. I love how the two pieces look together. I wore the pink set to Orange Theory yesterday! I sized up to a medium in both pieces. I would say they run true to size, I personally prefer things like this to fit very loosely, so you may want to get your true size and not size up like I did if you prefer a closer fit. The medium shorts are a little loose at my waist but I like that. 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!
Wearing II: Jenn Lake just launched her collection with Sail to Sable, and I just love this white dress that they sent over for me to style! It's so chic and well-made!

Drinking: I thought I'd share my most recent wine order. We were low, so I got some of my favorites! For Pittsburgh people, I ordered via wine.com, and it was usually less expensive than the state store (I compared prices between the two when I was ordering)!

Sale: Love these inexpensive white jeans so much! They are on sale and under $50 (even at full price)! They run true to size! Also, the linen top is one of my favorites and one I wear summer over summer!

Watching:
 I was SO into the Love Is Blind reunion last night. Did anyone else watch it?! I feel like this was the best/craziest season yet. Wow. 

Loving: I've been eyeing these sandals for basically a year. I was hesitant because I wasn't sure how much wear I'd get out of them, considering they are somewhat similar to my Hermes sandals, and they're also pricey. I finally ordered them for myself as my birthday gift (coming up in a few weeks). I am so glad I did. They are even better in person and in person, I can tell they're definitely different in style to the Hermes sandals. These look more structured/ladylike/polished, whereas the Hermes sandals are very casual. I was also concerned the patent would be rough on my feet, but I was so glad to find they're very comfortable. All-in-all, if you are on the fence, I'd say go for it. I have no regrets! They run true to size. I sized up to a 39.5 in Hermes but got my true size 39 in these!

Wanting: This dress
is a good Staud look for less. I'm not a big jean jacket gal, but I am eyeing this one. This pink and green sweater set is SO good. I'm really into these pearl earrings- classic but updated. A favorite pair of sunglasses that I wear all of the time is back in stock! OMG, brides, this dress is so elegant and stunning. Perfect for a shower or luncheon! 
Pittsburgh: We had a fun little date night at Gi Jin this weekend. It's one of my favorite sushi spots in Pittsburgh! It's tiny inside, so definitely make a reservation in advance! 

Amazon Rec: Something that literally keeps me up at night is an article or news story I saw a while ago about grill brushes and how they can be a danger if you ingest a bristle. It apparently happens when the bristle gets on the food, unbeknownst to the griller. I don't think it's common, but it can happen. We love to grill and so I found this grill brush and this grill brush that are supposed to be safer. Have any of you used either before? Both seem to get good reviews and honestly, it will help me to sleep better... I wish I was kidding!! I have both sitting in my cart right now trying to decide between the two. 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!

Traveling: This weekend, I am hoping to stay low-key with little plans as my mom and I are headed on a fun little trip to the Greenbrier! I wanted to plan something fun for my mom and me as we always have the best time together. I haven't been to the Greenbrier since our mini-moon in August of 2021, so it's been over 2.5 years. I have to say that the Greenbrier was just OK on our mini-moon... honestly a little disappointing. I mean, it was our mini-moon, so we were just elated, but the Greenbrier was not the Greenbrier I experienced even in 2019. But that was still somewhat the pandemic, so I gave them a pass. I'm hoping it's better this go-round. We wanted to pick a place that is easy to get to/driving distance, and there aren't many options from Pittsburgh. You know my mom is the OG Taco Bell lover so I am excited for us to get Taco Bell either on the drive to or from the Greenbrier, ha!!!

On the grill brush thing -- My husband read an article about that a while back and immediately switched to an alternative! Rare or not, we didn't want to take the chance, haha. He uses some kind of wooden scraper (also Amazon) and really likes it!
