Sneak peek of the new website content! More below... Happy Friday! It might not look like it outside, but it is officially Christmas Time! We're one week out, can you believe it? I leave for Connecticut next Tuesday, and I am chomping at the bit to spend time at home with family, wrap presents, and enjoy glasses of wine at noon. What are you up to this weekend? It's a light one for us, with not much happening. Here's hoping you have a great one! As always, my favorite links of the week:

I started (and finished) watching Season 1 of Mozart in the Jungle, and I am obsessed! Have you seen it? Thanks for the rec, Lee Lee!

For all you last minute shoppers, my gift guides are here, here, and here, and here's part one of my little red book.

iPhone's best productivity apps. I eat this shit up.

To make you smile (and also seethe with jealousy).

I have a lot of liberal friends, but I have to admit I'm tempted to try this.

The 10 Best Podcast Episodes of 2015.

With this warm weather, take the opportunity to bump up your outerwear game. How awesome is this?

Lastly, in a little over two weeks, I am launching my new website! Mmm-hmm, after two years with LRW, I'm changing URL's and moving on. I'll be sure to update you all on social media as to where you can find my new home, but go ahead and subscribe on the right hand side to stay completely up to date with where we're going. Don't worry, I'll still be blogging! I'll still be me! I'll just be in a new home. (Psst, hop on over to Instagram for another sneak peek!)

Okay, enjoy your weekend!

xoxo,

Hey where'd the week go? Happy Friday, friends! This week zoomed by for me, and I'm happy to have arrived at Friday in one piece! What are you up to this weekend? I'm headed to CT for a short visit and a client meeting later this morning, and am hoping to see my nephews for dinner tonight! Tomorrow I'll be celebrating Halloween at a good friend's house, but I woke up with a bit of a sore throat today, so I'm going to try and take it easy with the drinking (not sure how that's going to work). I hope you all have a happy, happy Halloween and a wonderful weekend! Favorite links below....

I would love to grab a new pair of frames for our Honeymoon, and though these are out of my price range, I love the color!

Jon Stewart, you're amazing.

Trying to find your signature scent? Maybe try a few samples from here.

How fun are these? They're like chic friendship bracelets.

My costume for tomorrow.

Though, this guy has me BEAT.

These balls look delish!

And now...I need your advice, friends. What's your favorite full coverage foundation? Bonus points if it's vegan / not tested on animals! Would love to hear your thoughts!

See you next week!

Yesterday's COLD WEATHER outfit. What a week, friends! It's rainy but it's cold; I told my friend yesterday that wearing long sleeves and long pants (and closed toed shoes) makes me feel alive. Bring it on, Fall! What are you up to this weekend? Tomorrow is my bridal shower! We're having a small group for brunch in the city, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with everyone and catching up! Be sure to check Instagram tomorrow for an outfit pic :). Here's hoping you have a snuggly, cozy weekend ahead of you. Favorite links of the week below!

Astorians, rejoice! The perfect pumpkin roundup. 

10 items with great Amazon reviews. What an awesome post!

My good friend sent me this and it's perfect / unfortunate.

Would love to add these to my pants collection this Fall. May pop into J. Crew later.

After much deliberation, we're taking Raven's suit here for alterations. Will keep you posted!

Curious to try this (the aesthetician at CAP Beauty recommended it). Have you tried?

How long it takes to get addicted to a show.

A bag in every color for Fall.

Uh-oh.

Till next week!

545a3d11d0899$!900x Goodness I am so happy it's Friday! It has been a busy week round here and I am looking forward to spending time in CT with my 2 guys at Raven's mom's house (and attending our tasting, of course). But first! I'm up super early this morning for my makeup trial! Guys, I have been looking forward to this for actual months. I've hired the uber talented Tricia from Jennie Fresa for the big day (she did my makeup in the photo above), so we'll see what we come up with today! What are you all up to this weekend? I hope you have something fantastic on the books! As always, some of my favorite links this week:

This cat is a nurse and the story will warm your heart.

Some candid MOH do's and dont's.

Anyone else craving a denim dress for the summer?

I've been listening to the podcast Invisibilia, and I'm hooked. Here's a list of other great podcasts!

5 new-to-you (and me!) designers.

I am going to make this (vegan!) soup ASAP!

I should probably stock up on this sunscreen. (I grew up calling it sunblock, anyone else?)

If you're breaking any of these rules, I'd say you're on the right track.

See you Monday, my loves!

xoxo,
