Friday Faves

Happy Friday! It was a busy one around here so you know I'm extra happy to see the weekend. Looking forward to an early Mother's Day lunch with my family tomorrow and some down time on Sunday.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we'll have one ice cream appropriate day. 

Here's what I've got my eyes and ears on this week.. 

Nordstrom is having a spring sale and I'm eyeing this easy but not sloppy dress, this oversized linen blazer, and this sweet dress. Also praying that they restock this linen jumpsuit in my size. 

Gingham is a big trend yet again this summer and I love the idea of trying the pattern somewhere unexpected like on these slides. 

My favorite, favorite Agolde jeans are on sale at Urban so I'll be picking up my third pair, thankyouverymuch. Their super high rise fit and length are just perfect for me. 

So excited to catch (the dreamy) Benedict Cumberbatch in Patrick Melrose airing on Showtime Saturday night. A drama featuring a British Aristocrat battling his demons and drug addictions? I'm in! Read the review here. 

I hardly touch a hair dryer once the temperature hits 60 degrees, but I'm always searching for the right product to help me get those perfect waves. I've been using this Kristin Ess air dry creme for a few weeks now and I think I have a winner! 

After 10 years of perfect skin bliss, I went off birth control.  Three months later and hormonal acne has reared its ugly head (or 5 heads if you count each individual zit). These patches have been a lifesaver. They've kept me from picking and I even wore them to work a few times to keep the big boys under wraps while they heal. 

December Favorites

For me, this winter has been all about staying hydrated and finding ways to feel pretty despite the frigid temps. Here in New York it's been 15 degrees every day since Christmas and it's projected to stay that way for another week. Feeling cute has never been harder. 

Luckily I have a few new products in my arsenal that have been making it a little easier. 

Necklace: Maria Pascual, Face Oil: Fig & Yarrow, Rings: Icarus + Co and Vrai & Oro, Hair Powder: R+Co

Simple jewelry can make a big difference about how you feel. Lately I've been loving signature items that I can wear every day with every outfit. A coin necklace, stacking rings, and these little hoop earrings have been on repeat this month. 

My hair is a constant struggle. It's fine, heavily bleached, and soaked with sweat just about every day from exercise. I never thought I had the type of hair that could go days without washing but this hair powder from R+Co has made it possible. In fact I almost like my hair better on day 2!

Last year during a cold snap in February I broke out in a horrible red rash all over my face. My dermatologist solemnly told me I had rosacea (!!!) and prescribed me a litany of cleaners and topical ointments. After not loving my skin despite months of this new regimen, I went back to my favorite Biologique Recherche products. This winter, I'm determined to keep my skin hydrated and this face oil has been helping a ton these last few weeks. My skin seems happy and healthy despite the daily exposure to cold and wind.
