Drooling over these espresso cups.
About to break my own self imposed “no non-fiction books in 2023” rule because my curiosity (and let’s be real, anxiety) got the best of me with Future Tense.
The cooler older sister version of the Stanley cup. I’m also partial to the no-straw version.
I own a linen bed set from an Instagram famous brand that costs $$$, and thought I’d give this Amazon set a try (my pit mix with black fur does sleep in the bed with us, after all) and tbh, I can’t tell the difference between them.
A very good western belt for your coastal cowgirl summer outfits that is on the right side of the “inspired by western style” vs “dressing in a western theme” conundrum.
Making like Lizzie Maguire and planning on being a major outfit repeater in this Mango dress (I had to shorten the straps but otherwise it’s perfection)
I need another sports bra like a hole in the head, but if I were on the market— this one would be top of my list.
Ditto for strappy black sandals…but have been seeing these EVERYWHERE.

I am cringe, but I am free. I refuse to be giggled at by my French in-laws when it comes down to ordering wine anymore. Astrology girlies, get in, we’re going shopping. Actually, I’m exactly like other girls. “Chick lit” is my Proust. Wellness interior design porn for when you need a smooth brain moment. What the actual f*ck, NEDA? The characters of future period pieces set in the 2020s will all be sporting Alo sets. It should be illegal that dogs don’t live forever.
