(Finally some cooler mornings after the extreme heat we’ve been having…)

Lately I’ve found myself coming to Sunday evenings at a loss for what to write here. We’ve done the same thing, every weekend, for the past 12 weeks (with slight variations over the past 6 months)… a delicious brunch at home on Saturday + Sunday, quick workouts, lunchtime bbq, pool, take-out dinner, and then sitting by our fire-pit to close out the evening….

And I guess the conclusion that I’ve come to is that while we are certainly doing much less, I still feel just as fulfilled as I did at the beginning of 2020. I might even add that I’ve been forced to become more present, to focus more on what I have and not what I want, and to just allow life to be. There isn’t as much rushing around (although we’re still up by 7:30 every single Saturday and Sunday morning…), I wear far less makeup than I used to, and I’ve found that a good straw hat, a bathing suit, and a comfy outfit are all I need to get by on the weekends.

I’m not saying that I am not looking forward to a return to “normal” (whatever that might be…)… traveling, date nights out, and just a better sense of certainty. But what I am saying is that I appreciate what this time has given to me, what I’ve learned, and the lessons I will surely be taking away from it.

And with that, I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead. xx

(Favorite spot on Friday at 5pm…. joggers, tank, slippers)

(Chips, Guac, + Salsa with a side of rosé….)

(Switched things up this weekend with a jump rope workout… top, shorts)

(Finally cool enough to sit outside in the evenings…)

(Sunday morning comfies… shorts (identical shorts), sweatshirt (similar option)

(Soaking up the last few weeks of summer back at the pool… dress, girl’s coverups)

(Post pool hangs…. Camille’s glasses)

(Started “Educated” this weekend and can’t wait to see how it all unfolds…)

I got this crossrope jump rope last week and took a class on it over the weekend… loving it so far!

H&M has some super cute, under $50, new arrivals for fall. Loving this beautiful maxi sweater dress, leopard dress, camel sweatpants, grey lounge top + pants, and this duster cardigan.

A few favorites from last season that were recently restocked include these high waisted distressed jeans, ruffle silk crop tee (super cute with the jeans), and my oversized grey/white/black tie dye sweatshirt.

I just bought this linen tablecloth + one of these non-toxic cooking pans (meant to replace 8 other pans) and excited to see how it will work out!

A few cute fall arrivals that I have my eye on include this oversized black denim jacket, oversized black sweatshirt, auburn pullover, and this basic long sleeve top.
