Adam Lippes for Target Purchases

Last month I posted about the upcoming Adam Lippes for Target collab here. Well Sunday, the 27th was the big day and here's what I picked up!

Pencils with Case

Mini-Journals

Throw Blanket

The journals and pencil case will make some great stocking stuffers for Christmas, and I just love the idea of a buffalo plaid blanket for winter. I can see this getting a lot of use during TV time.

I ordered all of the above online, but then found myself at Target later in the day running rando errands. I did check out the fashions on display and to be honest, my skirt was NOT blown up... True I was wearing my maternity jeans, not a skirt, but you get what I'm saying. The blouses, dresses, and sweaters on offer were just okay and I didn't feel any particular garment would really add much to my current wardrobe. Or, should I say my anticipated wardrobe come January, when this baby is out and I've had some time to recover... Or, maybe I'm just more into homewares at the moment. Oh crap, is this what it means to next?! Wanting to buy decor instead of clothes!! Next thing you know I'll start knitting and making my own jam...

But hey, if you found some great pieces in the Adam Lippes collection for Target let me know in the comments below!

40 Year Old Cottagecore

dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids. I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Gift Guide Part 3--Literature

So far I've covered beauty products and socks in this year's round of gift guides, which are prefect gift categories for the coming winter. To add to that list--reading! Here are a few books from my Books Worth Reading Pinterest board, first up--poetry! James Allen Hall's "I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well" from the CSU Poetry Center I LOVED Hall's 1st book Now You're the Enemy , which won awards from the Texas Institute of Letters, the Lambda Literary Foundation, and the Fellowship of Southern Writers. So this is on my personal wish list to read here during the snowy days to come. Anthology from Mason Jar Press "The Black Ladies Brunch Collective’s Poetry Anthology, Not Without Our Laughter , is a collection of humorous and joyful poems, riffing on Langston Hughes’s novel Not Without Laughter . It explores topics of family, work, love and sexuality. The women of BLBC believe, like Hughes, that even in these ...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway for the wedding in July. Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless. Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental. You're welcome!
