an outfit I wore this weekend
I hope you all have had a wonderful week thus far. Having the holiday on Monday really made this week fly by! We enjoyed a social-packed long weekend, spending lots of time with friends and family.
We celebrated my aunt's birthday by having dinner with family at my parents' house, which is always nice. I love their backyard. Over the years, they have turned it into such an oasis, and we enjoyed the perfect weather for an outdoor dinner. I can tell autumn is near, as I've noticed that the early mornings and late evenings are chilly. Give me a sweatshirt, and I am one happy gal!
If you are growing hydrangeas, it might be time to snip some of them if you want to dry them! I did this last year, and they turned out so well. I just put them in a vase with no water, and they dry out pretty quickly!
As we near the fourth quarter, work is getting jam-packed. I love the faster pace; it keeps me on my toes. I am so thankful you visit my corner of the internet. I love what I do and am endlessly gratefl . I hope you can see that. A few posts ago, I told you about a dream brand I will be working with (without mentioning the brand. It will likely be live next week! It will be on Instagram, but I will share it here once I have posted it, as I know some of you are not on social media. Since day one, this is a brand I have loved and have always wanted to partner with. The fact that they even know I exist is wild to me. I've never worked with them before, but I post about them weekly, so I'd be curious to see if any of you can guess. None of you will be shocked when you see it, ha!
I've written several blog posts about how I love the underwear at... Hollister. I know many of you purchased the underwear, and I'm here to say that I think it's being discontinued. It's been out of stock for months. I went as far as to send Hollister a message asking, but they didn't really give me a definitive answer. I did a lot of purchasing and researching to get to Hollister, so I feel I am back at square one! I'm intrigued by two brands right now: These and these. They are both different than the Hollister pair I love so much but I think they could be good. I will report back! In the interim, I recommend these . They're $16/pair, and while they are high-quality and comfortable, I am convinced I can find something less costly!
I love this time of year. It feels exciting and 'new'! I feel reinvigorated and ready to take on these last four months of the year.

Watching: You all know I love the TLC 90-day fiancé series. Well, the new season of Before the 90 Days just premiered this week, and I'm already hooked, ha! I just read Perfect Couple and am excited to watch the first episode released today. It's a great book. I think the series will go somewhat in line with the book, but they renamed Celeste (the main character), and I can't figure out who Will Winbury is- he wasn't in the book, was he? Also, some characters don't look like what I was picturing, but they rarely do when a book is turned into a movie. Wasn't Merritt supposed to have dark hair? I don't think Elin Hilderbrand excels at describing her characters' images in great detail, so I am sure the Netflix series took some liberties of thei own.
Wanting: This barn jacket is SO GOOD. I just got this cardigan, and it is stunning. It looks $$$. I love the color of this handbag. It's not the most practical color, but it seems unique! This houndstooth cape-style jacket is autumnal perfection. This tweed jacket is polished and ladylike. My favorite turtleneck is now available in the most perfect shade of pink.
Eating: The Kirkland organic spinach and cheese ravioli is SO good. I would highly recommend it! It's nice to have on hand when we don't have anything planned for dinner at home!
Sale: Many sales have ended since there were so many over the long weekend. However, Banana is having a sale, and the prices are great. This is a photo of me from last year trying on sunglasses. I loved them and forgot about them until I saw them on sale and ordered them. They're a classic style that I know I will wear often.
Sale II: Dudley Stephens has new arrivals and they generously gave me a code to share with you all! Code SYDNEY25 gives you 25% off, and that includes sale items, too! It's a one-time-use code, though, so keep that in mind! This code will expire on October 15th. I just got this vest, which I will share soon when I can do a proper try-on, but the quality is the next level. It's lined in fleece!

Loving: I shared this in a blog post last week and it finally arrived. It's SO cute. I love a themed mug. As an adult, it's hard to get into a holiday like Halloween and feel festive. I find that mugs are an easy way to mark and celebrate a season! My code SYDNEY20 will be live for the next few weeks!

Amazon Rec: This Pearl Cardigan looks identical to the one I have. I originally got mine from Vita Grace, but it's always sold out. This option has several color choices. I wear mine often!
I got these on a whim, and they're just like Bala Bangles but cost about half the price. They weigh 1lb each, which is a little light. In hindsight, I would have gone for 2 lbs for each wrist, but oh well. They're easy to wear on your wrist or ankle. I've seen people recommend cleaning the house with them. They aren't doing much, but it can't hurt! I love to go for a long walk every day. It's great exercise, but it also improves my mental health immeasurably and these are a nice addition.

Smelling: I always say this, but I am terrible at describing smells. You'll just have to click over and read about it, but even the website's descriptions will not do this scent justice! There is a hand soap and a diffuser, and the diffuser is potent, so I only put 3 sticks in for our small powder bath, and it's just right. The hand soap is intoxicating. Each time I use it, I get a little thrill. The scent lingers. This should be turned into a perfume. Just divine. I'm interested in trying the New York scent next! Not only that, but the vessel is stunning. It's heavy and sleek and would look beautiful wherever you place it.
