Look Linger Love

When I think about my wardrobe for the year ahead the first feeling that comes to mind joy. Which pieces bring me joy? It’s not like I’m overhauling my wardrobe, because I’ve always sort of unintentionally purchased things this way. But now I’m going to consciously lean into that more. I’m constantly editing my closet and removing items that I haven’t worn in a long time, don’t truly love, or don’t fit all that well in either materials or shape. When I make a purchase I’m asking myself, “Am I really excited to get to wear this?” – IE for a party or dinner with friends for the more special or unique pieces, and “Will I want to wear this over and over?” (even just around the house, comfort wise) for the more every day pieces. I had this mentality in mind when pulling together this week’s New & Now round up of favorites.

chambray midi dress, blue & white long skirt, henley sweater, black embroidered midi,

strapless white floral dress, striped sweater, blue & white tiered dress, multi smocked dress,

green long dress, light blue jeans, black & white eyelet shirtdress, navy long sleeve mini

On the casual side of things, I always feel like I’m treating myself when I pull on my La Ligne sweaters. They are SO soft and SO well made. Like a little gift to myself for the day. This new colorway just dropped. And these new Pistola jeans fit the bill as well because Pistola makes the most comfortable jeans (like I can comfortably lay on the couch in them and not feel like I need to change out of them). Plus the color is unlike anything I already have in my collection.

On the more dressy side of things, this white floral strapless dress is giving me all the vibes. It’s unique and so pretty and gives a flattering shape. And I can picture myself wearing this green long sleeve long dress to Friday lunches at Melfis or on vacation with the sleeves pushed up. And then this blue and white long skirt just gives major elevated vibes. I can picture it with both a neutral tank or a sweater. Obsessed! Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

I’d like to start this post by sending love to the LA community affected by the wildfires. Like all of you, I’ve been both astonished and heart broken as I watch the coverage. It’s truly unbelievable.

My friend Morgan, who lives in LA and owns Buru Clothing, is putting together wardrobe boxes for families affected. You can donate a box by clicking to the I Heart LA donation page right here on Buru’s site and choose between 3 levels of donations varying from $15 – $100. 100% of your donation (and then Buru will triple the values per each box) goes to the families affected. They’ll be size specific for each family’s needs. I know we all feel so helpless right now and it’s been beautiful to see so many fundraisers be pulled together for the community.

Today I’m also sharing 5 things that caught my eye this week! And let’s be honest, I’ll throw in a bonus because it’s so hard to narrow it down.

I’m in the market for a new travel tote and have spent way too much time on Vee’s website comparing all of their bags. I want a bag that will zip at the top and be roomy and organizable. I’m between this Medium Caba Tote and this Medium Porter Tote. There are a lot of great color options, but I believe I’ve narrowed it down to the Moss green.

I love a matching patterned set and this new arrival is really calling me. I love the print!

This new sleeveless mini tweed dress just arrived at Nordstrom and it’s only $90! There are 7 pretty color options and it’s a no brainer in my opinion. Such a classic look.

You all know my love of oval diamonds, well these oval crystal earrings are so beautiful and only $88!!

I discovered this beauty in Boden’s new arrivals and the pink color is GOOD, but there’s an equally nice green option, too. Take 15% off new arrivals right now, too.

I mean, what’s one more?! I love this brand new La Ligne twist top. Soft and flattering and great for layering as well! IMO everything they make is A+. Happy weekend, everyone!
