Hello from The Cotswolds. I landed in London very early Sunday morning and headed out this way for two nights, before ending the rest of the week back in London. I am ECSTATIC. I’ve always wanted to vist and am thrilled it’s finally happening. I’m here with some good girlfriends and am feeling extra lucky.

Packing for this trip took extra thought for me because it’s starting to get chilly here and we’ll be on our feet a lot, and also need to look pretty put together in London. The London Influence and Belgravia Village are bringing us to the city for 3 days and 3 nights of design, fashion, and food, among other things. It’s going to be a great time and of course I’ll be sharing a ton on Instagram and a good recap here, too.

Some Of What I Packed:

First, I always carry on b/c I’ve been burned by lost luggage too many times. I haven’t checked a bag in 7 years probably. I swear by this bigger carry on suitcase and this roomy zip tote. Trust me.

For the Cotswolds I packed:

• gingham pants paired with a navy blazer top and these cute flats.
• a sloane dress b/c they’re my fave and pack so well with these boots.
• casual jeans and blue sweater (on sale on Amazon right now) with white street sneakers for around the hotel.
• a blue dupioni mini shift dress with these boots.

For London I packed:

• these silky tassel pants and this blazer top and these low pumps.
• this pretty jacquard top and matching skirt with this jacket and boots
• this long green dress that I’m obsessed with and these pumps.
• this asymmetric skirt with this cashmere tee (this is a goat in my closet) and chunky knit jacket.

What I never leave home without:

• my hydrinity spray – it’s a lightweight purifying mist that literally cleans and calms your skin. I’ve bought like a dozen of these over time b/c my kids use them too.
• my dyson b/c it just does the best on my hair and i know it doesn’t cause breakage.
• lots of my favorite underwear.
• my steamer b/c like i said above we need to be extra presentable this trip. i get messages everytime i post this thanking me, it’s that good.
• my kindle. always and forever to infinity.
• my portable charger. one of my most used items even when i’m not on the move.
• my baroque pearl necklace, it just goes with everything and is so classic.
• this workout set in case we make it to a pilates studio that was mentioned near our hotel! i love this brand they fit really well and are flattering!

I got another round of MircroNeedling last Monday, I try to do this every 3-4 months, and learned something new and important that I feel the need to share….

So at the end of the treatment, Austin (my girl at Skin Pharm) says something along the lines of okaaay you’re a little more red than normal. Are you on your period by chance? And indeed I WAS on my period. Turns out, when you’re on your period, increased vascularity make your skin more sensitive and reactive. Meaning, microneedling can cause more pinpoint bleeding and redness than usual. Or any needle based treatment like botox, prp… So now, not only do I have to attempt to schedule around a quiet schedule (for downtime), but also around my period as well. And let me tell you, I was seriously banged up this time, so I’m definitely going to try to avoid going during my period again. I hope this saves some of you. Here I was hiding my face but trust there was drama behind the phone.

Started the new season of The Morning Show this weekend and binged both 2 episodes that have been released. Gosh I’ve missed this show/world. All of the characters are SO good. Billy Crudup’s character is addictive, like I can’t get enough of him on the screen. I love that so much of it is inspired by real current issue and events.

I just splurged and bought these. I know. I know. They’re coming with me to London, and they run true to size.

I’ve been living in these lounge pants (aka my house pants). I have them in black and grey. Trust. The fabric is like magic. I wear the XS.

I really love these lip resets, they’re also called overnight masks but I like the tinted on (shade – cosmic cherry ) so I wear during the day.

Started House of Guinness over the weekend, too. I like it. I don’t love love it. But I’m sticking with b/c I feel like it has all the potential to be amazing. And I love that it’s based on a true family and (some) true events. I’m horrible with accents so I definitely need the close captioning on.

I wore these M.Gemi black flats downtown yesterday on King street and no 4 different people ask me about them!! I mean! I love them too and they come in so many colors, run tts, and I have a code too – CHASSITY15

Dorsey just dropped Moisonette. An even sparklier lab grown Diamond like gem. They’re just getting so good you guys, what will this do to the diamond industry? Are you still die hard diamonds? Like, would you buy a $9k real diamond necklace when there are identical lab grown versions of it for $1500? I really want to know. I’m not so sure I would.

October hits this week which means Halloween season is here, which I love. Our neighborhood goes ALL freaking out, it’s so fun and festive. I love these pumpkins for your porch, or inside too! And at least these would last year after year.

Dying over this gorgeous necklace newly arrived on At Present’s site. If you’re not familiar it’s like a Shopbop but for jewelry. I love it! Code – CHASSITY15

This new half zip fleece from Varley is so gorgeous in this pretty pink. Seriously go look.

I’ve almost finished The Academy, Elin Hilderbrand’s new book that she wrote with her daughter Shelby. I’ve absolutely loved it. It’s such a fun fall read taking place at a prestigious boarding school. It’s based off Shelby’s own experience at St George’s (but they’ve created a fictional school called Tiffin), including some real life beef they had with the headmaster. Highly recommend!

I got such great feedback from the post about my red light mask so I wanted to include the link to the discount code again – CHASSITY10!

Early Access Shopbop is live and here’s an early peek to my Sale Faves – I have these boots in black and they’re shockingly comfortable, loved seeing these jeans in there, and yesss La Ligne sweaters are included STOCK UP!

And finally last week’s biggest seller by you guys! They’re true to size I have the XS. They’re so flattering and versatile, I can see why they are so popular!

Okay this post is literally all over the place of recent moments and things i’m really liking. I’m not going to even try to connect the dots, haha. Here we go!

Last night at the prettiest little shopping party at my neighbor Jessie’s house. I’m wearing this navy dress (zero) and tried on this gorgeous necklace.

A scene of the Theodosia pop up table at said party. I want it alllll.

I mean how cool is that turquoise ear cuff.

Dying over this new Zara coat. The rounded slouchy shoulders, the cinched belt, where it hits on the hips, and that to die for collar.

Just got this sweater and am so excited about it. Wearing with this dress and these boots.

Just so you can see the sweater again because gahhhh.

Had an amazing Friday morning as moderator for a brand founder chat with these gorgeous founders (Hart of Hart Jewelry, Morgan of Buru, and Jenna of Linne). I wore these new woven flats, these jeans, and this top.

All about these silky track pants with tanks and sweaters.

Like with this swingy grey sweater. Perfection.

I attended Rebecca Atwood’s launch party for her 3rd book The Harmonious Home. Such a talent. Fun fact, my home was featured in her first book!

After that I had the great honor of interviewing Sarah McCoy for her latest book Whatever Happened to Lori Lovely. One of my favorite books of the year, if not the favorite. I wore this dress (two) and these caged red shoes.

This jacket top is FABULOUS.

These Tuckernuck pants are seriously the perfect little black pant! I have the Xs.

I came upon this dumbbell storage table on Amazon and just find it to be so smart.

Lil got new bedding and I mean how cute is this. I love the double patterns together!

This is a great fall mini dress you could wear with tall boots, ballet flats, or heels!

Another fabulous fall dress, this just dropped 15 minutes ago on Doen.

Recent outfit – this striped boxy top (in the small) and these jeans. Fave charm necklace.

Ending on these fun heart shaped earrings I got recently. I love them, they also come in a round version!
