Weekly Notables

January 11, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

If you missed my introduction to this series last week, go ahead and read this post. If you already read it, welcome back! I’m excited to share some stuff this week…

//one//
My 22nd Birthday

That’s right y’all, next week is my 22nd birthday! I cannot believe how quickly my 21st year flew by. I had so many great accomplishments and memories associated with the past year of my life. But 2020 has already been great and I’m excited to see what it has in store. I guess that’s one perk with having my birthday close to the new year, I basically become a year older close to the start of each new year. The only plan I have for my birthday is having a site visit for our wedding, which I’m super excited for, but the rest of the day we’ll be flying by the seat of our pants lol.

Taylor Beach Design Valentine’s Day Collection

I am a huge fan of Valentine’s Day decor… I mean, pink is my favorite color. But Taylor Beach Design has taken it to the next level. I got the chance to meet her during the holiday season and even snag a piece from her Christmas line (some of which is on sale right now). She is so sweet and her art is beautiful! Not everyone’s style, but definitely mine. If you love chinoiserie style, her stuff is for you!

The Five-Minute Journal

I think I mentioned before that I got one of these for Christmas. I honestly had little faith that I’d remember to do it each morning, therefore it wouldn’t be effective. But honestly, I haven’t forgotten once and I’ve been loving it! I put it right on my night stand along with a pen, and I make sure to do it before I physically get out of bed. It gives you three prompts each morning and two at night, which always stay the same. They’re along the lines of ” Write a daily affirmation… What would make today great?… How could I have made today better?” It’s a great exercise to feel grateful and calmly inspect things that may not be going so great. I’ve really enjoyed it and highly recommend it!

Bride Swimmie from Show Me Your Mumu

I haven’t even started thinking about what I’m going to wear for different “wedding events.” But I saw an ad for Show Me Your Mumu on Instagram (I swear they listen to my convos), and I think I kinda need this adorable swim top lol. My thought is if I get it this spring/summer I can get two years of wear out of it…? It’s pricey but it is really “gram worthy” 😉

//five//
Island Tile Fleece Pullover from Vineyard Vines 

Another find from an Instagram ad… I saw this pullover and fell in love! I’ve really been embracing my attraction to blue and white as of late. It’s literally the majority of my wardrobe without me realizing it. This looks so cozy and I desperately want it! I think it would be a great transition piece from winter to spring.

Cheers!

xoxo

While this Christmas photo looks different than pl While this Christmas photo looks different than planned this year, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas surrounded by peace and love🫶🏼

My prayer is that next year brings the blessings we hoped and prayed for this year, whether those things are big or small.

I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @mo I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @morganjuliadesigns brand new Jersey City location on our way home from NYC🫶🏼 This only added about 20min to our trip which was well worth it!🪡 Such a beautiful shop with so many great canvases👏🏼

Some tidbits from our trip as a NYC first-timer🚕
 
We stayed at @omniberkshirenyc - overall we enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect (right in between 5th Ave & Madison Ave) and was a short walk to Rockefeller and Central Park. Only complaint is that the rooms were very hot (75*+). They also had valet parking that we utilized. We drove into the city and while time consuming it wasn’t as stressful/difficult as we had imagined. I’d certainly drive in again.

Our highlights were @therockettes and walking through Central Park. We walked everywhere with the exception of a boat ride we did. We booked a car through RideLux for that which I do not recommend, about equal service to Uber for 2x the price. 

The boat ride with Classic Harbor Line felt like it wasn’t worth the $100/pp price tag. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close was neat, but that was about it. Also, if you get sea sick CHL is NOT for you! 

Shopping overall was underwhelming, but we did hit the classic FAO Schwarz which regardless of the long line this time of year was a must-do! We got there 10min before opening and only waited about 10min after opening to get in. 

As for dining we did some quick spots around the city including Springbone Kitchen - perfect for a fast casual but healthy meal - we did pick up and took it to our room! Ralph’s Coffee in UES was also on my must-do list and honestly it didn’t disappoint! I’ve been to the Paris and NYC locations now and both times it’s been delicious and the perfect drinking temperature, even if you do have to wait a bit. For dinner we got a same day reservation for BG at Bergdorf’s - the food and service were great and reasonably priced imo!

I’m so happy we got to experience NYC at Christmas as it’s been on my bucket list my entire life! I love a trip filled with firsts, since they’re what make lasting memories!✨

✨48hrs in NYC✨ Somehow at 27 I had still never ✨48hrs in NYC✨
Somehow at 27 I had still never been to NYC until now🌃 I’ve always dreamed of going to NYC as a little girl, especially at Christmas! Today dreams came true with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see @therockettes and it did not disappoint👏🏼 I’ll be sharing more tidbits from my trip over the next few days🚕

*also brownie points to whoever can tell me where this iconic townhome is from😉*

30 hours at the most festive place on earth🏰🎄

We booked this trip after my miscarriage so we could get out of town, even just for a night, and embrace ourselves in holiday magic✨ While nothing will take away the pain and heartache, distractions help the days pass faster🤍

Next week we’re off to NYC for a few days full of firsts!🚕 Defintiely nervous but excited for this bucket list trip✅
