Weekly Notables

February 7, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

It was a crazy past week y’all! I worked all last weekend, and Monday – Wednesday we had a mini vacation. Needless to say my day are all messed up lol. And not gonna lie, I am feeling super unmotivated since I’ve taken a break this week. But I am hoping I can find some things I want to write about and just go with it!

//one//
Wedding Talk

This week my parents were in town and we talked about my wedding almost non-stop lol. We took a deep dive into the financial aspects of it all, and I’m pleasantly surprised with how smoothly it went. This conversation took a huge weight off of my shoulders. I am now getting so excited and becoming more confident in the decisions we’ll be making. Stay tuned!

Valentine’s Day Gifts

Valentine’s Day is just a week away! While January felt like slow motion, February is totally flying by in my opinion. I truly feel like I haven’t had enough hours in the day this month. If you still have some gifts to get, check out my Valentine’s Day Gift Guide For Her post! And be sure to sign up for my email list because on Monday I’ll be sharing a last-minute gift guide.

Valentine’s Day Giveaway

In case you missed it, I am hosting ANOTHER Valentine’s Day Giveaway on my Instagram! You can win a Caloosa WaterWear Valentine’s Day Ultra Comfort Shirt of your choice, along with some Candy Heart earrings from Coras Den. Today is the last day to enter, so be sure to head to this post to have a chance to win! If you don’t win, you can use code JAYME20 to get 20% off your purchase at Caloosa WaterWear.

Blue & White Dress

Classic Blue is Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2020, and that means you’ll probably be seeing the color everywhere! Long before this classic blue was “trendy,” it’s been one of my favorite colors to wear. If something in my wardrobe isn’t from Lilly, it’s either blue or white. Last week I found the greatest satin dress at Forever 21 for only $27.99, and I am actually super impressed with the quality and fit of it. You can see my try-on pic on LiketoKnow.it. I even wore it for our engagement shoot this week, and I can’t wait to share the pics with y’all.

Lilly Pulitzer’s Spring Collection

Lilly’s Spring 2020 collection released on Sunday. I haven’t gotten the chance to head into stores yet to do a try-on session, but it’s on my to-do list lol. I currently have my eyes on the Ivie Maxi Dress, the Cristiana Stretch Dress, the Aiden Midi Dress, and the Kiara Dress. Stay tuned on my Instagram stories to see those in the near future!

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✅
