I finished The Nightingale last week. This isn’t a new book, in fact I read it 10 years ago, but enough time had passed that I decided I wanted to re-read. I know I already talked about it, but it really does feel like an important book. Plus it’s being adapted into a movie with the Fanning sisters.
I replaced our electric kettle with this adorable blue one and am SO impressed. It heats up faster, it heats up so much more quietly, and it’s way more beautiful. A total win.
Also while we are talking about obsessing over things… the flora swimsuit. She is SUCH a beaut!! Who spotted the burnt orange color in People We Meet On Vacation?!
Last week I went on a little girl’s trip to The Potlatch Club, a small resort on Eleuthera in The Bahamas. I’d been hearing from Harbour Island friends that it is so lovely and relaxing, so I was excited go see it!
It recently went through an extensive renovation by the owners, along with the the design help of our fave – Amanda Lindroth. She also designed The Dunmore and The Dunlin, so you know it’s good.
The resort has cute cottages spread out over the property. We stayed at The Pineapple House, and this was our view. I mean, it’s just absolutely incredible!
Design details in The Pink Sands cottage. You know I love the pink!
The main restaurant has such incredible food, there really wasn’t one meal I didn’t love! I highly recommend ordering the coconut margarita (off menu).
I got a few questions on instagram asking how close The Potlatch Club is to Harbour Island. Boat-wise – pretty far. The owner said it’s about 5 hours. But in the car it’s not so bad. It’s located on Eleuthera, which is Harbour Island’s main island and is where you fly into. From ELH airport The Potlatch is just a 1.5 hour car ride away, so it’s really not too far! You could also fly into Governor’s Harbour Airport, which is just 15 minutes away from the resort. We flew into ELH on our way there, and out of GH on our way out, just because that’s the schedule that worked best for us.
I needed a nice black dress for my grandmother’s funeral in Kentucky earlier this week so I went and bought this one. It’s a nice fit and felt appropriate for a Catholic Church service, and I know I’ll be able to rewear it as well.
This weekend I want to finally watch the Netflix adaptation of Emily Henry’s book People We Meet On Vacation. I’m hearing mixed reviews, but I still can’t wait to watch it. I really liked the book. It wasn’t my favorite of her books but I did really like it.
I also want to finally start Heated Rivalry. I’m so behind you guys!! I’m probably gonna skip the books and just watch the show.
I just finished In Your Dreams and what a great end to one of my favorite book series.
What I’m Looking Forward To:
I’m heading to the Potlatch Club on Monday with some girlfriends and i’ve been looking forward to this for months. It in The Bahamas on Eleuthera (which is Harbour Islands main island). I’ve heard incredible things about this place – and it was designed by Amanda Lindroth – so we know it’s gonna be good!
I’m bringing this Prada raffia bag with me. I rented it through Vivrelle, which is a members only rental site. They asked me to try out the service and I’m pretty excited about it. They have designer bags and luxury jewelry that you can rent, which is a pretty amazing idea for when you have a special event or a vacation! I feel like especially for a vacation! If you use the code CHASSITYEVANS you’ll get your first month free! So fun!
Last night I was so honored to be included at the celebratory dinner for Serena & Lily’s arrival in Charleston. The store is to die for gorgoeus. It’s on Cumberland St dtown – be sure to stop in. Before we were seated I did a little tour of the store and I fell in love with with this Granada Quilt – isn’t she beautiful? And they so kindly sent us all home with one of these super soft blankets.
I took a deep dive into the analytics to find your favorite things from 2025, and we’ll gather here today to reflect on our choices. Which I must say, were pretty darn good. We like the same things. These are all pretty much tried and trues! I will say there were other favorites, but they were sold out or low stock, so I skipped those – but if you must know a few – the cheesecloth dress, this belted maxi dress, and our favorite Sloane dress were all in included.
Here’s your 2025 Favorite Things…
Dyson Airstraight – I barely see mine anymore because Lilly keeps it in her room now BUT I got her the Shark Glam for Christmas so I’m thinking I can get it back.
Shirred Navy Mini – A really fun and flattering dress, I love mine. I hope they make it an evergreen product, but time will tell.
No Make Up Make Up – When they reached out to me for a partnership I was like let me try it and see. And see I did – because the partnership is over but it’s still what I use every day (that I put on make up anyway) b/c it’s so fast and gives such good coverage! You want the brush!!
Family Heirloom Necklace – I nicknamed it this because it looks so legit and I get SO many questions about it when I wear it that I started joking that it’s the family heirloom.
The Best Sheets – These have been popular for years because they’re incredible. Like 5 star sheets.
TNuck’s Pointe Pants – These are a perfect fit and are comfy and flattering. Definitely a best seller for a reason.
Number One Eby No Wire Bra – If there’s one thing you treat yourself to from this list let it be this bra. Trust.
Tnuck’s Nina Flats – Pick your color you can’t go wrong with these staples. They’re beautiful.
Amazon Black Knit Sweat Set – So this is the one thing I don’t own in this round up BUT I have the Frank & Eileen version so I love the style and this is a tiny fraction of the price. I’ve heard great things about this Amazon set from y’all!!
Rainbow Gem Ring – I discovered these at the Dunmore on Harbour Island and was AMAZED at the price. It looks so expensive.
Lab Tennis Necklace – One of my favorite things. You’d never know it wasn’t legit diamonds.
Dyson Airwrap – I think all the girlies are going to be walking around with good hair in 2026 because this was a major best seller for November and December. I LOVE mind.
Adina’s Initial Charms – I want all the charms. So far I have the large E charm and the small C charm. Her jewerlry is one of my favorite things from 2025.
Away Suitcase – I’ve been using mine for years, it’s all my family uses and it fits so much stuff! Truly lives up to the hype.
The Best Amazon Steamer – I think this is the second year that this was a best seller. It’s a great travel steamer but I use it at home as my main steamer – she’s very powerful and doesn’t she look like a Dyson? My cleaning ladies think so too b/c after they leave I regularly find it stored in my hair dryer cubby in my bathroom vanity lol.
Every Day All Day Underwear – 2025 was the year I did a major overhaul to my underwear drawer because these are what I want to wear the majority of the time.
Tuckernuck’s Cashmere Tee – This is one of those closet staples that you want in your closet from September to April. Trust.
Dry Shampoo Poof – I love this applicator for dry shampoo! This one is one of my favorites.
Negative’s Whipped Pants – Truly one of my most favorite things too, their whipped collection can’t be beat. I have these in black and grey.
Ruti Barrel Pants – These were everywhere this past year and you’d almost think it was crazy that everyone was talking about them, but they are so lightweight and cute!
Happy Friday! Gosh I’ve been deep in book edits this week, at the home stretch here! In roughly a week I’ll give it back to my editor for what will hopefully be a light line edit and then copy edit! Honestly, the editing phase has maybe been my favorite part. To have the feedback from someone pointing out little notes and thoughts all along the sidebar of the book as been extremely helpful! Each pass I take it gets better and better.
I had two bookish meetings this week about the publishing process and the marketing and pr side of things. I’ve hired Of Counsel PR to help me with some of that!! It’s just going to be so fun to see it all come together.
Cover Reveal: My book cover is almostttt done and I’ll be revealing that later this month. Date to come, but going to be so exciting. I’m drumming up some fun ways to share it with you all! More to come there. And along with that reveal, my Amazon author page and pre-order link will go live later this month, too, so you all will be able to order the book!! Ahhhhh this is so exciting- it’s literally all I want to talk about.
On Wednesday I had lunch at Rivayat, a new Indian restaurant downtown. It was fab – highly recommend. Lunch was great but they have a bigger menu for their dinner hours.
Okay a workout outfit, these black leggings are fabulous. And it may not seem special but this black zip up jacket is the perfect layer for this time of year. It’s SO soft! I love it.
I shared this in my insta grid last night but The Heir Apparent was my first book of 2026 and guys – I loved it! It really started off my reading year with a bang. If you like books about royals I think you’ll love it. It’s set in modern time and has lots of inspo from the Royal Fam, but it’s all fiction!
Moving on to some of my favorite finds of the week. This shirt looks like something you’d find on Moda! I love a statement sleeve.
And finally, the Ulla Johnson secret sample sale continues. There’s so much included like dresses, bags, swimwear (i love this suit!). It’s all like 50%-75% off or somewhere in that range. It’s insane. This dress is beautiful.
(This was actually posted Dec 13th but didn’t push live here, sorry about that!)
Happy Saturday Friends. Let’s dive in…
What I’m Wearing & Buying This Week:
I wore this outfit last night for holiday drinks with friends plus a little cheers to Josh’s birthday! This metallic fringe top is one of my favorite festive easy things in my closet, runs very fitted fyi. The coat is old and these pumps are go-tos for me!
I’ve been living in this new brown wool cocoon coat that I just got and it’s like my favorite thing in my closet right now. It’s so beautiful and so well made and cozy.
I recently wore this striped cashmere sweater that I got last winter and went to link it and happily found it on Amazon for a quarter of the original price. It’s a GOOD one!
I also just got these boots and they’re arriving Tuesday I think. I needed a good legit brown.
I just loaded up on Boden’s sweaters bc they’re so colorful and gorgeous right now. I mean, they’re absolutly killing it. I got this one, this one, and this one.
What I’m Reading Watching Listening To:
When I got home last night, not too late, I watched both of the first episodes of the new Eras Tour Documentary and it didn’t disappoint. I cried a few times, it goes pretty deep on some highly emotional behind the scenes moments. What a gift.
I just DNF’d a book at 86%. What is wrong with me. I knew I should have done it sooner but I just couldn’t put any more time into it. It was just too cheesy and the spice wasn’t my style at all and it honestly was way way too long. So I started The Heir Apparent last night and it is off to a STELLAR start I’m so happy.
What I’m Looking Forward To:
Currently counting down the days til we leave for Harbour Island for Christmas and New Years.
I just got this long dress to bring with me. And I got this swimsuit, too! It has a really nice hold you in, not too showy silhouette. I also got these new sandals the heel isn’t too high!
Okay I may have splurged on this dress too. It just delivered today and it fits like a glove I am OBSESSED.
A New To Me Brand:
This is that new dress I mentioned I’m bringing to Harbour Island. It’s by ESCVDO. They have a lot of cute pieces that I’ve seen on Shopbop before but had never tried anything. I’m VERY impressed by the quality and fit.
What I’d Buy Right Now If I Were Treating Myself:
I tried on my friend Grace Atwood’s new Dorsey ring at lunch yesterday and was truly flabbergasted at how gorgeous it is. It’s incredible you guys, lab grown is really the way.
This no make up make up has become my daily go to (pictured above). I got it thinking I’d wear it occassionally but oh no – it works SO well and covers everything up in like 12 seconds. It’s amazing.
This Lola style blanket for way less on amazon is a great gift idea for yourself or really anyone on your list. It’s only $69.
