The Round-Up: Apparently life doesn’t slow down. Last month I told you all about our move to Arizona where the heat hits you in the face like a hot airplane exhaust. I actually think it’s rained more times in the last two months than the state has had in the last two years!
We are off to a great start! Our Lemon tree had a bark disease last year & it hasn’t completely disappeared, our pool apparently had a proper algae issue and is now resurfacing, and I hit debris from the last storm with my car and got a flat tire. We haven’t had a dull moment yet! Actually, in all honesty, it’s been incredible so far. Our family is thriving, my husband is acclimating quickly to his new role and Charlie and I hit the Aquarium 2-3 times a week! What a life.
I recently launched a monthly email called the “Style Report.” Some of you may be familiar with this email blast as I used to use the same email name while at Nordstrom. If you would like to be added to the email list, shoot me a note or send me an email with your name, phone & email address (just for ease of copy & paste). Otherwise, here is a round-up of all of your questions, comments and feedback I have received in the last month (there was an active trend this time around).
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Where is that purple active set you wore in your stories from?
It’s Free People! I am in love with the fabric. It’s soft & super comfortable. I’m not generally one for workout sets because let’s face it, sweating is never cute, but this one offers support & high intensity movement! Link to the shorts & the bra.I need a pair of wide leg black denim jeans like these where can I find somer?!
Let me get back to this question. I am still hunting for a super awesome pair! I found these, but they are sold out in most sizes. The next best are these, but they are somewhat pricey for a trendy denim.White tank you wear consistently?
This one - also Free People. I wear an XS.All white sneakers, so risky! Love but know I can’t keep them clean 😂
I’ve learned a few tricks over the years. TIP: You can machine-wash your shoes & the Magic Eraser is your best friend! Also, to keep a white pair of sneaks clean you can use a bleach pen or a bristled scrub brush (like the one you may use on your dishes)!.How do you style your hair?
I just bought this tool. The barrel is adjustable & I love it!Ooooh the denim shorts!
HERE YOU GO!! LINKED! They’re a mom fit & run true to size but mine have stretched slightly. I take a US 4 in TOPSHOP.What is your favorite moisturizer?
I am recently obsessing over this Bobbi Brown vitamin enriched moisturizer. It is marketed as a base/primer, but it is so light & creamy, and it smells like citrus. It’s really lovely.Would you recommend the canvas over leather converse?
I have always owned canvas converse, so honestly I don’t have an opinion. I throw my converse in the washing machine if they get really dirty, but generally I just use a magic eraser on the rubber and I scrub the canvas with a tide pen and/or use my dish brush to clean them (weird? Probably). My friend purchased the leather stacked converse & said she loves them. I think they took slightly longer to break in, and they run 1/2 size large, so size down!
Best active short?
I mean, I am convinced it’s the best, but that’s personal preference. I am obsessed with Lululemon. It is totally worth the splurge. If you haven’t tried their clothing, I highly recommend purchasing one thing and seeing how it wears & washes because I literally LIVE in their Wunder Train 6” short. Wash inside out on cold (I run a delicate cycle) & you MUST hang to dry. The fabric is super soft but if it gets dried too many times it starts to attract a lot of lint.Help! I’m headed to France & need a chic bathing suit coverup!
OMG, yes. You need to get this Tommy Bahama one. It acts as a long sleeve blouse as well. It’s amazing. I should probably buy one as well… mine looks a touch old.
Hope you enjoyed this month’s round-up! Leave a comment below if you have questions or would like me to cover a topic in the future. xx
