Lately


RR sent me their new holiday pajamas and Henry and I had a matching moment this week!

Hope you are having a great week! It has been a chilly one here in Pittsburgh as we head toward Halloween! I got to catch up with my high school girlfriend, who moved to England a few years ago, which was so nice. We are going to a new restaurant today, and I'm so excited. We are hosting a get-together at our home this weekend with some friends. My husband is going to make lots of Ooni pizzas! 

I can't believe we have to roll back the clocks already. Does anyone always keep the 'fall back, spring ahead' saying in the back of their mind to keep track of which way the clocks go? I love this time of year, but the time change is a buzzkill. 

We had such a fun weekend with my sister in town. We celebrated my mom's birthday at Dianoia's, then my cousin's 30th. Lots of fun and celebrating. I love it when Callie is in town! 

Today, I'm going to browse Christmas trees in person so I can get an idea of what I am going to do. I'll share if I see any that I like. Many of you read last week's Christmas tree post, and some of you told me you're in the same predicament!


Wearing: I know this pullover is 'boring', but it's seriously so comfortable. I love the fabric and the oversized fit. I wear it at least once a week, but usually more. 

You can find me on ShopMy, where I link all of my outfits, favorite finds, home decor, beauty, and more! I am constantly updating it with the latest! You can also follow me on the LTK app. Plus, you are able to access all of my posts, here, on my website! 

Eating: I made egg roll soup this week. It's quick, easy, and delicious. Plus, there is very little cleanup!

My husband made this incredible Italian beef dish. It was a bit like pot roast but had a richer flavor. We loved it. He said it was really easy to make! 

Reading: 'Tis the season for cold weather and, in turn, space heaters. I am SO paranoid about using space heaters. Fortunately, our home is well insulated and it's a new build, so it stays warm in the winter months without any drafts. We didn't own one in our home until last year, when I panic-purchased one because we had negative temps for days on end at one point, and I was worried about pipes freezing and bursting. Luckily, that didn't happen, but I ran our space heater in the basement, and I really do think that helped. Anyway, I wanted to share a resource that explains how to use a space heater safely. I know it probably seems like common knowledge, but it's nice to refresh your memory. 

I ran across this article about a $20k robot, but there is a weird catch. This is a hard no for me. What about you?!


The Sephora sale begins tomorrow, and I rounded up my top picks, here

Listening: I've been crafting this 'easy listening' playlist, which is just a simple jazz mix, and I've been playing it while working or while we are in the kitchen. It's the perfect calming background soundtrack. 

Wanting: This faux fur jacket
is a showstopper. Such a gorgeous plaid jacket. It would look so chic with jeans if you have a more casual Thanksgiving, but dressed up with cream trousers would be fabulous, too. I cannot get over this sweater... It's me in sweater form! This pearl clutch is adorable. These velvet pumps are beyond! I continue to admire cowboy boots, but not actually make the purchase. The new arrivals at Roller Rabbit are so good. A gorgeous travel jewelry case. Such a fun party bag. Love this triangle bralette. I have been wearing it with lounge clothes at home because it's so comfortable. This sweatshirt reminds me of The Great but less costly! This fleece is adoarble and under $50. The floral print reminds me of an Emilia Wickstead floral. Such a chic little tuxedo-style dress. Fun party sandals! I defintely need this faux fur stole. Timeless brown booties on sale. I'm seeing these pants everywhere and I am intrigued. Such a fun personalized necklace and it's 20% off. These pants have a La Double J vibe but much less costly. I never thought I'd put cozy and sneakers together but that is exactly what these are. A fun party top. I have a pearl cardigan similar to this one and wear it often! We all know I love a fancy lip balm and this is a new one from one of my favorite skincare brands! My husband is excited about this VV x Grateful dead collab. This sequin clutch is holiday perfection. Love these faux fur mittens

Pittsburgh: I can't remember the last time I went to Dianoia's, but we went this weekend with my family, and it was SO good. It's hard to get a res, so that's why I never go! 

Amazon Rec: Tis the season to be cold and hunched over my computer night and day, so it only makes sense that this is the most recent addition to my cart

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: The scent notes are Siberian pine, apple blossom (like a semi-dry cider), rosemary, jasmine, fir balsam, sandalwood, and cedarwood. It smells good on its own, but when you light it, it really comes alive!
