Adding subtle touches to a neutral work outfit can make it fun without looking inappropriate. Rhinestones accents on buttons & shoes are a great way to bring in a bit of shine.

A bunch of you asked about it, but appears to only be currently available via @renttherunway (where you can buy it too!). Linking this one is in stories plus a similar option if you don't have a RTR subscription (though I highly recommend!).

A dinner that calls for velvet & sparkle ✨ 
.
I’ve been dying to try @annabelle_wdc since it opened right before the pandemic. We had to settle for takeout at the time, but it was so good, I knew we’d have to try it “for real” someday. A special birthday dinner gave us the most wonderful excuse to finally dine in the restaurant itself.
.
The fish dishes, in particular, were just excellent, as was the most divine mushroom soup. Oh and if you’re a wino (like me), know that Annabelle’s selection is absolutely primo. 👌
.
Super chic and sexy setting, too — save this one for date night!

It’s that simple. 
.
Seriously tho, @Biossance’s Love & Joy set gives you dewy skin with just 3 products.
.
• Use the Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum for overnight exfoliation.
• Use the Vitamin C Rose Oil as a brightening (and calming) serum during the day.
• Follow each with a slather of Omega Repair cream to moisturize — very important after exfoliating & brightening.
.
I love that all of these include squalane, a powerhouse hydrating ingredient, especially for winter skin. 
.
I’d honestly purchase each and every one of these products on their own so getting them all together for a discount is a pretty excellent deal. 
.

The new year has me envisioning some home updates, The new year has me envisioning some home updates, in particular my attic area. Our most recent trip to @troddenvalecider for a Boxing Day gathering was rife with inspiration. 
.
My son said, “I wish we could have a barn like this someday!” And I can’t say I disagree. The rustic light fixtures and vintage-inspired seating areas are so warm and inviting — a vibe I’d love to replicate in my roughly finished attic space.
.
First step: cleaning out all of the junk! Stay tuned…

The best nights are often the ones we don’t plan The best nights are often the ones we don’t plan. So grateful good friends & neighbors  dropped by for an impromptu NYE celebration last night.

And these are exactly the kind of evenings I hope to have more of in 2023. More spur of the moment, less overthinking, more fun!
.
Many thanks to @FreixenetUSA for the NYE party duds and bubbly! 🥂
