Completely satisfied Sunday, everybody! Em bought to shoot her new outside kitchen this week, which suggests it’ll be coming to this right here weblog in a few weeks! Except for that, we wished to provide you that pleasant reminder that Mom’s Day is arising fast, and in case you missed it, we did slightly thought publish for you yesterday:) Okay, now for the hyperlinks!
From Emily: This week, I shopped for the outside kitchen (I truthfully really feel just like the luckiest particular person on the planet and I’m so impressed with RTA, BTW), and I wanted some fairly (however not too loopy costly) pots for the shoot. On a immediate from a reader, I went to Kitchen Kaboodle for the primary time in maybe my entire life (??) and LOVED it a lot (vetted, curated, and the salespeople had been such consultants). I discovered these pots and pans by Joseph Joseph and wished them for the colour (a phenomenal slate blue with chrome squared off handles) however the space-saving “gadgetry” of them is what actually bought me. The pans’ handles fold into themselves in such a genius means. Now, house saving isn’t one thing I wanted, however I wished to share if that resonates with you in any respect (I’ll do a video on tales if you wish to go see what I’m speaking about). And apparently they conduct warmth completely, making actually nice fried eggs (“simply want a paper towel to wipe afterwards,” the salesperson mentioned), and could be for induction or fuel ranges.
From Marlee: I wandered right into a Madewell final weekend and picked up these sun shades and I’m tremendous proud of them. I’ve a really troublesome time discovering sun shades that really feel cute – 95% of the time, once I strive some on in a retailer, I’m genuinely shocked at how goofy they appear on me. Oval sun shades are normally means too small on my massive head (they seem like youngsters’s sun shades), however these appear general slightly larger than most sun shades of the identical form. I’ve worn them every single day since I bought them. Additionally they are available another cute colours – I really like the pink too!
From Gretchen: Final week, I had the pleasure of exploring Newport Seashore with Mallory whereas we had been each on the town to work on an thrilling shoot with Em. We discovered ourselves with a free half day to discover the realm a bit. Mal is an superior tour information (who has seemingly lived…in every single place in California?) and confirmed me round some very cute spots in OC. We took a ferry over to Balboa Island–which could simply be the cutest seashore city ever–then stopped for lunch on the Restoration {Hardware} Ocean Grill, the identical spot Jess really useful final week (scrumptious, btw), and completed up the day exploring Laguna Seashore earlier than she dropped me on the airport. After all, we needed to pop into just a few cute shops, the place I discovered a high that Mal merely satisfied me I wanted. She wasn’t incorrect! However I had a sense I may simply discover it on-line, so I wouldn’t should squeeze it into my already-busting-at-the-seams suitcase. And fortunately, I did–for half the value it was in retailer! It’s a long-sleeved knit from We The Free with a cute, funky sample that kind of chops up and adjustments alongside the arms. It has the proper, slight turtle-neckline and crops excellent on the hips. The match is good and relaxed throughout the physique, however tighter within the arms. The colour and sample are simply too good, the fabric is cosy however stretchy, and the value was RIGHT! I feel I’ll be grabbing this principally to layer over a cute mini costume or pair with some cut-off shorts.
From Mallory: I’ve a design/espresso desk e-book dependancy, and my newest add was this e-book by the late Paul Fortune known as Notes on Decor, and so forth. I simply began studying it and actually am an enormous fan! I used to be doing a little extra analysis into the well-known designers that constructed Los Angeles fashion so naturally I got here throughout Fortune (who decked out the Sundown Tower and created his legendary Laurel Canyon residence) so I made a decision to snag his e-book so as to add to my assortment and it’s excellent for design lovers.
From Arlyn: I’ve been eyeing the Sunday Slipper by Bombas for possibly a yr now, as they go out and in of being totally bought out. Whereas I used to be by no means actually a home slipper sort of particular person, I really want the assist and cushion now as my toes usually ache from both age or some sort of random foot ache. I bought these for my birthday again in February and it took me a minute to determine if I totally really useful them however after just a few months, I’m proud of them…with just a few caveats. First off, they’re pretty slender and took me a strong few weeks to stretch out correctly. I needed to order up a measurement as a result of they run slightly small—I’m usually an 8 and I bought the 9—however then they ended up feeling sort of clunky. I’ve since gotten used to that. The insole is VERY comfortable, which is improbable, however as a result of the only real is fairly excessive, they’re slightly wobbly on plush carpet like we’ve got. I have a tendency to go away them downstairs the place we’ve got onerous flooring and go barefoot upstairs on our carpet. All in all although, they’re very comfy and an excellent luxe reward for somebody (together with to your self!). Mom’s Day is across the nook, in any case!
From Jess: After months of being tremendous marketed to, I lastly purchased the BISOU BALM Sheer Matte Lipstick by VIOLETTE_FR, and the outcomes are in…I LOVE IT. And look, I’ve been duped earlier than, shopping for one thing I used to be closely marketed, solely to be unimpressed with what I bought. However not this. It’s a superbly pigmented (for me at the least) matte lip balm that offers you that easy stylish “French” look. What’s even higher is that your lips don’t dry out! That’s been a problem for me with the matte lip merchandise I’ve used up to now. Anyway, I find it irresistible and the shade I purchased was Bêtise, which they name a “impartial berry”.
From Caitlin: My Dwell subscription is basically paying for itself recently – do any of you subscribe? They’ve been knocking it out of the park recently with deep, well-researched, well timed items on all issues residence. My favorites this week? A chunk on response rebuilding mid-century houses within the wake of the LA fires (a must-read for any renovator, builder, or purchaser in a fire-prone space – it’s written by a person whose home survived due to his good fireplace hardening; even I didn’t know a few of these options existed!) and this piece on the impression of Trump’s tariffs on the constructing and transforming trade (spoiler: “This might trigger materials prices to soar to as a lot as $45 billion per yr from right this moment’s $4 billion expenditure.” WOOF, HUH?) Anyway. GO DWELL TEAM! You’re doing superb, sweetie!!!
As all the time, thanks for being right here and see y’all tomorrow. xx
