Lately

Prince Henry made himself comfortable.

I just wanted to share in case you missed it- my Beth Ladd collection is live! You can learn more about the collection in this blog post, and you can shop it here

From the bottom of my heart, thank you SO much for your enthusiasm and support of this collection. I truly had no idea what to expect, and you all have been so warm and receptive to it. I could not get over so many of you sending photos of your orders placed! I had friends and family texting me about the collection and all the support and love was overwhelming in the best way. So thank you. Truly, thank you for being here, for being kind, and for being so supportive. 

Tomorrow, I'm speaking on a panel at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Business about influencing! The group will consist of marketing professionals and graduate students. I am nervous but excited. I love to chat about this industry with others who are interested in it and love to learn new things. I'm then headed to a friend's birthday party, which will be fun but a busy day for sure! 

I am celebrating my birthday with my parents this weekend since they won't be here for my actual birthday (next weekend). We are trying out a new-to-me restaurant, which I am excited about! 


Wearing: This Dress is seriously one of the most beautiful dresses I've seen in a while. It's so beautifully made and totally looks like an $800++ designer dress. It's so much better in person because, in photos, it is hard to tell that the fabric is a sheer overlay and then lined. The way the skirt floats is just so good. This runs true to size but is roomy, so you could size down. It's not really fitted anywhere except slightly at the bust!

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: I snagged this chocolate at Whole Foods yesterday and loved it. This brand is a first for me. It was on sale, so that's why I decided to try it! I highly recommend it! 
Sale: The J.Crew new arrivals are dangerously good. A lot of them are on sale right now


Sale II: This isn't a sale, but it's Vitamin C day, so Dermstore sent me a cute little package with the cult-favorite vitamin C serum from SkinCeuticals. Seriously, read the reviews. This is considered the very best vitamin C serum. I typically use the Obagi 20% (SO good), but this is just as good. I have finished a bottle or two, so I can speak to it. This is just typically pricier than Obagi. However, Dermstore created a special for me to share with you all (not sponsored; I don't have to share this or anything, but this is truly a great deal). You can use code SUMMERWINDXSC to receive SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Serum 15ml when you spend $175 on the brand at Dermstore on April 4th, 2024 (that's TODAY). So basically, you buy this vitamin C serum, and you get one that is half the size (great for travel), but also, the smaller bottle is like $91. Girl math says that because of that code, it makes it a better 'deal' than the Obagi, but only for today, April 4th. 

Watching: I watched Apples Never Fall on Peacock and enjoyed it. I feel like everyone is raving about it, and while it was good, I don't know if it is worth raving about, but it's definitely worth watching. 
Loving:  My mom had been looking for new white plates for everyday use and got these beautiful dinner plates and salad plates for a song. If you are on the hunt, these are a gorgeous option at a great price!

Loving II: I have been loving the brand RMS Beauty. They make makeup products, and I tried the blush (in pomegranate fizz) and most recently ordered lipstick (Miranda) and bronzer (Malibu Muse). I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival. I used my own code, SUMMERWIND, to save at checkout (saves about $5ish on each product). 

Wanting:
I'm anxiously hoping these pink and green sneakers come back in stock, otherwise, I think I am going to go with these

Coverup (comes in a bunch of colors

Amazon Rec: My Amazon cart is so full right now. Do you all just load up your cart over a week or two and then dwindle it down before you order anything? That's my 'strategy,' haha! I just got this black coverup and love it. We have a boat day planned in Mexico as a 'bachelorette' day for the bride and we are all wearing black! I thought this was so cute to go over this black bikini top (size up in the bikini top, the reviews were spot on, I got a Large and I would never normally order a large top) and black bikini bottom I scored on sale! The coverup is true to size, but I sized it up to a medium, as I wanted it to fit loosely! I have a cute little scarf (Toteme vibes under $15) that I am going to tie in my hair that pairs so well with this!

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: I've got a busy few weeks happening- we are off to Mexico soon, and I am SO excited. I am planning content ahead of time here on my website, and I will share a lot of our trip for social media, but I am also trying to treat this as a true vacation where I work as minimally as possible! We are going to a family friend's wedding, but we will all stay for a week. It's a big group of family and friends, so it will be a blast. I can't wait to show you all some of my outfits. I have been so excited to shop for warmer weather. It has been cold and rainy here lately so I have yet to have a chance to wear much spring newness! 

Quoting: 'Social media gives us a perception of access to people's lives without relationship with them, so we think we know people based on what they choose to share. It's a warped view. There are a million layers to a person that will never be revealed by the posts they make.' - via thegoodquote // See more of my favorites, here.
