Weekend Shopping
Is anyone else ready for the weekend, or just me? It’s only Tuesday and I feel like I have walked through three lifetimes already this week. I know it is a little silly to be upset over someone you didn’t know, but I am so saddened by the news of Dolly Parton.
Every time I get on Instagram tonight my heart breaks a little seeing the post. As a Nashville Native, growing up until today I only heard about these fantastic things Dolly Parton did around – she started the Imagination Library, made countless donations to research at Vanderbilt, bought a block of building so occupants wouldn’t have to move, helped put countless people through college, and so much more. I can honestly say that I never heard anyone say anything negative about her and I never heard of a negative interaction that involved Dolly Parton.
I know many people, including myself, struggle at times trying to figure out the meaning of life, or the meaning/the “why” something happened. Maybe we aren’t meant to understand the meaning behind everything, but I think we can all agree that maybe the most important thing is to leave the world a little better off than we found it, and that is something Dolly Parton definitely did. So, in a world that is currently littered with corruption and negativity, may we all find out inner Dolly, and dare to be a diamond in a rhinestone world.
One// Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Pumpkin Braiser
Once fall hits, please sign me up for everything pumpkin and autumn related. Even if you’re not a cook and would rather order out, this piece would be wonderful for fall kitchen décor.
Two// High-Rise Low-Slung Trouser Shorts
Completely love that the trouser shorts have come back around. This was such a great trend in the 90s, and even better now!
Three// Black Merino Hewitt Turtleneck Dress
Firmly believe that everyone needs to own a little black dress… this one is a must own and the price point is so reasonable.
Four// Ralph Lauren Corduroy Pleated Shirtdress
The only question I have about this dress is, where has this been all my life. I really appreciate an easy dress I can throw on, wear with a pair of boots and feel completely put together in a very short amount of time
Five// YSL Sac De Jour Tote in Suede
The pictures do not do this bag justice – it is even more beautiful in person. Such a great everyday bag that would even be perfect for travel or last-minute dinners. It is a stunning piece.
Six// LAKE Pajamas Pima Long-Long Three-Piece Bundle
I love when LAKE comes out with a bundle set. Some nights I am in the mood for shorts and some nights I am in the mood for pants – the bundle is the best of both worlds without having to buy the same print in two different styles.
Seven// J. Crew Cropped Barn Jacket
J. Crew always comes out with some of the best fall and winter coats and jackets. I really love the suede material this one is made from and the fact that the cut of this jacket makes it so versatile.
When I was in high school Boston Birkenstocks were one of the options for uniform shoes. I still love plaid and Bostons. I really love some of the 90s and early 2000s trends that have made their way back around, and this is one that I am especially excited about!
Nine// Hill House The Beverly Pant
These pants are beyond flattering and such a classic
Ten// Washable Silk Lace Skirt

This would be such a fun game to have on hand for game nights with friends or family and the carrying case makes it so easy to transport to someone else’s house.
Twelve// Summer Fridays Exfoliating Pads
Summer Fridays is one of my favorite beauty lines at the moment – I have fallen in love with every single product I have tried of theirs.
I first ate at the Ginori restaurant in New York last summer and have been in love with their dishes ever since. These are such fun heirloom pieces and a great way to add a pop of color to any tablescape.
I really appreciate a shoe you can slide on and go. This details of this mule is so beautiful.
Fifteen// Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Classic
Strongly believe that everyone needs a pair of wayfarers in their sunglass collection. These would look so good with a sweater this fall!
Sixteen// Swarovski Crystal bracelet
I actually have this bracelet in an older style and really love it. It is beautiful on its own or stacked with other bracelets.
Seventeen// Hidden Garden Scarf 45
I have this scarf in the 90 and plan on purchasing the 45 because the print is so beautiful. The tones of brown and golds and the bunnies that are incorporate into this scarf is just beautiful.

Dior makes some of my favorite lipsticks and their packaging is always so pretty. Love this one

Weekend Shopping
Simple weekends have become some of my favorites. No obligation mornings spent browsing a bookstore with a favorite drink, yes please. That said, I am really working on not wishing time away, as tempting as it is to count down the day till fall and cooler weather.
Wishing everyone a happy week of savoring time and enjoy life’s small and kind moments. To tide you over to the weekend, here are a few of my favorite finds from this past weekend!
One// Hill House Thyme Floral Aster Nap Dress
Pre-fall at Hill House has finally arrived! I feel like the Aster Nap Dress is a new design (?), but I love both the print and the style… I really love how easy it is to throw on a Nap Dress in the morning or before dinner and feel effortlessly put together and chic.
Two// Good American Soft Tech Good True-High Rise Stright-Leg Jean
I bought my first pair of Good American Jeans last week and I am now officially obsessed with this brand. Beyond flattering fit, the material they use is so soft, and I love the endless number of styles they have. I think this pair will be my next jean purchase…
Three// YSL Sac Se Jour Top Handle Bag
I am such a bag lover and definitely plan to purchase this style, but I am so spilt between the black or the burgundy color… Seriously stunning in person and would look so great with a twilly wrapped around the handles.
Four// Ralph Lauren US Open Souvenir Crewneck
New York is one of my most favorite places and I have been to so many of the places that are represented on the back of this sweatshirt. Such a cute design! Perfect for anyone who loves New York and/or tennis.
Five// Jones Road Miracle Balm
I actually just bought this yesterday in the color Dusty Rose… I am so in love with this product. Love the fact that you can build the color and the texture of the product.
Six// Cashmere Boyfriend Bodie Crewneck Sweater
Everyone needs a cashmere sweater and there is no such thing as too much cashmere. Tuckernuck is one of my favorite places to shop for sweaters; they always have the best selection of brands, styles, and colors, and the quality is always amazing
Seven// David Yurman Petite Chatelaine Stud Earrings
Personally, I prefer stud earrings… these are a showstopper. So elegant and timeless.

I actually own this belt and strongly believe that anyone who love silk scarves should own this piece as well. It is such a fun and slightly different way to style a scarf and always elevates an outfit.
Nine// Harvest Tartan Smocked Olivia Midi Dress
I have a special place in my heart for a good plaid, and this plaid is what fall dreams are made of. I also really like the style of the dress – could be so easily worn as a casual piece or dressed up for a night out.
Ten// Loeffler Randall Leonie Espresso Woven Ballet Flats
I have seen rumors floating around on the internet that ballet flats are going out of style… Sorry to disagree, but ballet flats will always be in style and will always be a classic. After all, Audrey Hepburn made them an icon. Love the color and woven design of this pair.
I have been eyeing this jacket for like a year and seriously need to commit to it. Last fall when I was traveling I saw a woman walking off the plane wearing this piece, and it looked so chic and really would be such a great travel piece
I have an old soul, and this piece resonates with me so deeply. Would look beautiful on a coat, sweater, or scarf.
Thirteen// Jenni Kayne Pleated Skirt
I really love the overall aesthetic of Jenni Kyne – clean, classic, and neutral. The pleated details of this skirt and the blush color is just so effortlessly beautiful.

Seventeen// Chappy Wrap Harborview Herringbone Sepia Blanket
If you don’t own a ChappyWrap, you are missing out. Out of all the blankets I own this is by far my favorite.

Weekend Shopping
I know it is only Tuesday, but I am already dreaming of a slow weekend filled with feel good movies, comfort food, long mornings spent in bed, and soaking up the last bit of summer.
I feel like the summer has been such a bluer… I hope at some point this saying turns out to not be true… but time really does seem to speed up the older I get. On the other hand, I am completely guilty of wishing time away… I am counting down the weeks till fall and am so smitten with all things autumn that are already showing up in the stores and around the internet. So… to tied us over till Friday, here are some of my finds from the weekend with a very fall feel to them

I was in Anthropologie over the weekend and the feel of this blanket will make you weak at the knees.

How cute are these Ralph Lauren Bear sweaters? Classic, timeless, and irresistible for the fall and winter seasons.

Weekend Shopping
I feel like 2027 has been such a whirlwind of a year. I can’t believe I haven’t posted on here since the end of December. It has been one of those years where things just seemed to keep popping up and I could never get in the rhythm of publishing a blog post. It is always so easy to fall into the habit of promising to do something the next day… I am always active on my Instagram though.
So, In case you were wondering, I am alive and well! What better way to spend the Friday of a Fourth of July weekend than with a little writing and a little shopping… Here are a few weekend finds!
One// Roller Rabbit x Hill House Scarlett Midi Nap Dress
When two of your favorite brands come together… match made in heaven. The blue and white print on this dress is just such a dream. Nap dresses are made to last and always such a great investment piece
I am in need of a new pair frames… My little niece sat on mine and they are uneven, to say the least. I have had my eye out for a cute pair of glasses and I really love the style of these. Great if you have a narrow face like mine
Fully convinced that Sezane can do no wrong. Last spring Sezane opened a store in the 12th South part of Nashville, and I am completely in love with their store. Perfectly cozy and all the essentials one could always use. I love an oversized button-down shirt. So perfect with jeans, shorts, and leggings. So love this one!
I feel like Strathberry is one of the best kept secrets that everyone really needs to be in on. High-end designer quality at a much kinder prince point. I personally, love totes and a slouchy hobo bag (it’s the millennial in me…). Love all the color options this bag comes in and the overall style. By the way, if you are a Royal Watcher… Kate Middleton has carried a few Strathberry bags…
Like I said, Sezane can do no wrong. I love the smocked element and the bow details of this top. So perfect for now all the way into fall.
Six// Visual Mood Grace Reversible Tie-Shoulder One Piece Swimsuit
I love the ultra feminine designs that Visual Mood always dreams up. This suit is so appropriately named; such a graceful design and I love the fact that it is reversible.
Seven// Sarah Flint Perfect Block Sandal 60
This is my most favorite heel. So unbelievably comfortable and the perfect heel height. I love the new design for summer with the little fish detail, so fun!
Eight// Loeffler Randall Lara Dune Leather Sandal
I feel like this is the sandal of the moment. I have see this one everywhere daily, on the internet and out in the wild. Love the simplicity and elegance of this design.
Nine// Tuckernuck Picnic Plaid Lizzie Short
In my humblest opinion, everyone needs either a gingham or polkadot pair of shorts for the summer. This pair is so cute and I love the detail on the cuff of this short.
Ten// Amerill Mahjong Set – Monet’s Garden
Mahjong has taken over the women’s social scene. It is such an visually pleasing game and the sound the titles make… Monet is one of my favorite artist and I completely love that this set was inspired by his works of art. Use code: LAUREN10 for 10% off!
Eleven// Blue Ribbon Dinner Plates (Set of 4)
In love with these. Blue and Bows…. do I need to say more…
I will take all the Nest Reed Difusers and Candels. After a long day, a room that smells pleasing really does make all the difference.
Thirteen// Dior Backstage Glassy Glow Stick Multi-Use Stick Highlighter Balm
I love the Glow collection from Dior. One the morning when I am feeling rushed, all the glow items are makeup magic and I always get compliments whenever I wear this makeup line.
