Happy Friday. It’s been a busy week around here. I got the rest of the samples for my Fall collection with ABLE and I am so beyond excited. I absolutely love every single piece in the collection and I can’t wait to share it with all of you (launching early September). I’ve been thinking a lot about being off Instagram (mainly because so many people keep asking me how I feel being off). The biggest realization is how much more time I have. It’s shocking. Not just more time for work, but more time for me, for my family, for things I love to do. It’s been eye-opening to say the least. And it couldn’t have come at a better time. This summer, I’m having fun, for me, not Instagram.
If you’re looking for something to buy, try, read, share or pin, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of the week…
