Architectural Digest - I love every inch of Dakota' Johnson’s home. It may sound surprising if you’ve followed me for a while (don’t worry, light and bright neutrals are still my favorite) but this midcentury-modern home exudes warmth with its dark walls and woods. The color palette brings the outdoors in and I’m a sucker for cane and rattan.
Vogue - Parenting in Quarantine: We Are All Going Crazy. Whether you have children or not, this is an interesting read. There is no “easiest” position to be in these days. Whether you’re solo, moved back in with your parents, have four children, or are elderly with little help, they’re all tough. As hard as it is I consider myself lucky to have my family with me. When times get tough I try to hold on to that feeling.
Harper’s Bazaar - The Best Summer Movies of 2020 (and Their Changing Release Dates). The pandemic is rocking summer’s blockbuster slate. Here, the biggest films—and their shifting premiere dates—to keep on your radar.I loved A Quiet Place. If you haven’t seen it already watch it tonight! Looking forward to II in September!

This week’s most worn pieces…
w h a t
drink - Lemon water! I recently found myself with a huge bag of lemons that were starting to go bad. I juiced them all and have been using it for cooking but also enjoying a glass of lemon water in the morning. Here are some of the claimed benefits of lemon water: promotes hydration, source of vitamin C, improves your skin quality, aids digestion, freshens breath, and helps prevent kidney stones.
listen - In case you missed it…I shared a new Spotify playlist last week! The Music Guide v. 3 is out! I can’t live without music and listening to my playlists has kept me sane these last four weeks. I love that so many of you feel the same way about music - can’t wait to hear what you think about this one!
do - My feelings about cooking right now are the same for exercising. It is really easy to open up social media and feel like you need to learn how to bake a soufflé while doing 25 burpees and drinking a freshly made green juice. It just isn’t realistic! For the first two weeks that we were home I felt so uninspired. Everyone was Tik Tok-ing and doing work-out videos and I didn’t know where to start - it all felt so overwhelming. Now, almost a month later, I’m finally starting to feel more settled in my new routine. When I see things I’m interested in like a recipe or activity for the boys, I screenshot or bookmark it and make it when I feel like it. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will probably be here for at least another month which means lots of time to try and do new things, but at my own pace!
make - NOW that I gave you all my disclaimer…here are some recipes I’ve made or saved that you might want to try! This vegan matcha banana bread from one of my favorite chefs, Chloe Coscarelli (she had me at matcha). THIS chicken soup recipe from Athena Calderone was so delicious. It took a while to make but we had enough leftovers for another meal so totally worth it!
watch - I started the newest (and last) season of Homeland on Friday night and it is SO good. I’m trying really hard not to binge watch it! I had totally forgot where the show left off and wasn’t going to watch it until the preview sucked me back in. If you don’t have showtime but you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can start a 30-day trial for free (just don’t blame me if you forget to cancel it)!
cleanse - This clean and natural face peel smells AMAZING and is even more effective. I use it every two weeks (at night) and I always wake up feeling like I’ve just had a facial. If you’re not familiar with Tammy Fender her products are holistic, plant-derived, and most importantly effective!
