At the end of last year I purchased Branch Basics cleaning products and after using them for only a month, I am really happy with their products.

As of late, my favorite outfit combo is classic jeans and a sweater jacket. I linked this H&M cardigan but it is sold out but I also linked a style from J.Crew that comes in a stripe or solid black!

Excited to stitch this new Maine Lobster needlepeoint canvas from Little Stitches Needleworks.

This 'woven lunchpail' bag from Cesta Collective is my new favorite purse for vacation! It is so beautiful in person.

I am really happy with this new one-piece swim suit from Stylest Solutions. Think of it as shape-wear for swimwear as it uses compression fabric for a sleek design. (But don't worry, I did not find it to be too tight that it was uncomfortable.) I am in size 2x, my true size based on their size chart.

I am always on the hunt for a good pair of jeans, so I finally ordered this Curve Love style from Abercrombie, after seeing countless people rave about them. Happy to report, they are just as good as everyone says.

A gal can never have too many small zip pouches! I love this Liberty Print Pouch that can be personalized (under $30 on etsy.) I have bought these before as gifts!

This Tnuck Sport sweatshirt is so cozy! I love the boxy, slightly oversized fit and the side slits.

One of my 2023 goals is to find more time to be creative, today that meant opening a new watercolor kit from Case for Making.

I can't say enough good things about this small purse, the Symmetry Pochette from Savette.

This new Clementina Candle from Espelma is the perfect scent for spring. The perfect fresh citrus scent.

So happy with this cute (Celine inspired) striped sweater lady jacket from J.Crew. (Note, it is certainly a short/cropped length. I am in size XXL.)

When in doubt, a black outfit always seems to do the trick. (This Black Eyelet Blouse from MIRTH is a go-to favorite.)

Home sweet home in my New York apartment.

Another day at the beach! A Julia Amory Pareo is one of my go-to beach outfits, it is the perfect wrap skirt (or sometimes I tie as a dress.)

How fun is this blue patterned Pyper Dress from La Ligne. (I am wearing a XL.)

Headed to a day at the beach. This J.Crew Linen Dress is one of my favorite beach coverups, I order up a size to XXL so it can be oversized.)

I love this flowy MIRTH Seville Dress, the blue floral pattern is so pretty. (I wear a XL.)

En route to the airport for a quick trip to Florida. These Spanx On-the-Go Kick Flare Pants are the perfect travel pants thanks to the comfortable stretch. (I wear size 1x in tall.)

I am so pleased with my latest needlepoint project that is back from the finisher (West Village Knit & Needle.) I had this small Floral Welcome Needlepoint Canvas finished into a door hanging with gingham fabric cording.
