These Superga sneakers were a Christmas gift to myself with the hopes they will minimize hip pain throughout the day, but I also really like the way they look...

Top 5 of 2019

The Barefoot Dreams throw ($50) was my gift of choice this Christmas. I got one for my mom and for three of my friends. I also have four at home. They're the perfect weight and incredibly soft!

Vuori performance joggers ($84) are the best! I've put a lot of research (and 💵) into finding good joggers. These are so comfortable and look really good too. They have a short inseam (25 inch) and they're made of the best material - super soft, but doesn't stretch out. 

Golden Goose sneakers ($300) were definitely a splurge this year. I was not a fan in the beginning because they were stiff and uncomfortable. It only took a few wears to break them in and now they're my most comfortable sneakers. They are style and comfort! I always look forward to wearing them!

Nalgene water bottle ($11) was a total find this year. Brady was always annoyed with my "water bottle collection," but once I found this (and bought a back-up) I stopped buying water bottles. I'm really bad about refilling throughout the day so this is a perfect size. 

Champion foundation tote ($35) is my favorite bag. It's a great size and can be worn over the shoulder or crossbody. I like the sporty vibes and I don't have to be too precious with it. I got it in the summer and have worn it daily since then. 

I was really tempted to put this USB lighter ($10) and the Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer ($35) in this list, but I just bought them in December so they haven't gotten a real trial. I've been using them every day though. 

Good Stuff

Back with some new things I've been loving...

My sister is addicted to kombucha. It has been a trickle-down effect through the family. Mom, Brady and I are hooked. We've tried sooo many different brands and flavors. So far, the Syngery Gingerberry is my favorite.

I got a new pair of Adidas Ultra Boost and they feel like wearing a sock and walking on a cloud. Heavenly. They are expensive, but worth it. I wore my last pair for over a year! That's a record for me.

I didn't wear much any make-up during maternity leave, but I got really into my skincare routine. It's a nice, relaxing ritual now. This toner, moisturizer, and eye cream combo is 👌

My new LLBean Tote with Evie's monogram makes me so happy! This her diaper bag, but I've been using it as my pump bag for work. This is the medium size, but I also bought the large (with my monogram) and I already have the extra-large. #obsessed

Random Snaps

Here's what's been happening behind the scenes in March...

My "before" photo of my hair. It was as drastic of a change as I expected so no "after" necessary

#8... not bad. Wish I were still #6

Beecher's mac & cheese for the win

Best snap I've ever received

My lunch date

Copied my Dad and went for the Cortez

A few of my favorite things

Colin was in town last week. I think they spent more time drinking than skiing

Sneakers

My injury isn't leaving me with many footwear options. Sadly, I'm not as coordinated as I thought I was. Crutches serving up some humble pie the past two weeks. Sneakers have become a necessity and I'm ok with that.  

Here's what you'll find me wearing the next couple months...

 Adidas Ultra Boost

Nike Kaishi

It's taking a lot of self-control to avoid ordering this APL pair.

Coveting

1 | MCM Small Trifold Wallet has been on my radar for a couple months. It's a great size. Very compact, but lots of card slots and pockets to hold all my junk. Plus, the orange interior is so fun! 

2 | French Press needs to happen. I use our Keurig everyday, but I prefer french press. I blame The Twisted Fork- it was the first place I had it and now I'm hooked. I also want to start making cold brew coffee!

3 | Aviators are a wardrobe staple and somehow I don't own a pair. I'm already getting into Spring/Summer mindset- I'm ready to buy swimsuits, sandals, and sunglasses :) I know, jumping the gun a bit.

4 | Adidas Ultra Boost were just ordered while writing this post. I love this style! Reminds me of a pair I had in 5th grade :) They're a bit pricey, but so sleek and look super comfortable. I'm excited. 

January Favorites

Beauty

1 | Lancome Definicils Mascara is worth the hype. Great length, great definition. The small wand is so easy to work with and the formula does not flake. This is my first Lancome mascara, but I definitely want to try others now.

2 |  DryBar Money Maker Hairspray is very flexible. I use a generous amount each morning, but can still comb through my hair throughout the day. It helps give my fine, lifeless hair texture and volume. 

3 | Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne was a Christmas gift from my in-laws. I've wanted this scent for years! It was such a great gift. I keep it on my end table so I can smell it every night before bed :) instantly puts me in a good mood.

4 | Hourglass Ambient Bronzer (Radiant Bronze Light) is giving me life during these winter months. It's warm and glowy... doubles as a bronzer and highlight. Warning: it's very pigmented- a light hand is necessary!

5 | Candy Cane ChapStick is a real treat this time of year. Hands down, the best flavor (year round). I wish it wasn't limited edition. I'm thankful they're packaged in trios. 

Fashion

1 | Hayden Cashmere Sweater has probably been mentioned in a previous favorites post, but I snagged a new color (grey, obviously) this month. I've been wearing it at least once a week. 

2 | Paige Denim love affair continues. I picked up two more pairs this month (even branched out and tried a new style!). They are the most comfortable and keep their shape like no other jeans. 

3 | Nike Kaishi Sneakers are very similar to the Nike Roshe, but the sole isn't as large (or round). They are super comfortable and go with everything. Best $40 I spent this month.

4 | Sweaty Betty 7/8 Leggings are my new favorites. I prefer them to any of my Lululemon pants because they don't slide down on the hips and they're reversible... two cute leggings in one. 

5 | Marc by Marc Jacobs Q Wingman Wristlet has gotten a lot of use this winter. The size is great- holds 5 cards, change, and my phone easily (sometime I cram lip balm or keys in too). Lots of color options with this style!

Miscellaneous 

1 | #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso is such great read. It's entertaining, enlightening, and motivating. She writes so well- keeps things interesting and funny. Brady has been calling me girl boss and I love it. 

2 | Aladdin Travel Mug was another spontaneous Target purchase. I love the design, the size, the spill-proof lid. Plus, it's dishwasher safe. Cheers to staying caffeinated!

3 | Sugar Paper Planner is a list-maker's dream. It has a monthly calendar in the front, but then hundreds of blank note-taking pages. I preferred weekly planners in college, but this style is convenient for jotting down to-do lists, ideas, reminders, etc.  

4 | Mexico by KYKO is my latest musical discovery. I purchased the EP which includes 4 songs- they're all good, but this one is the standout. It's catchy, upbeat, and I love his voice. The live version on YouTube is great!

5 | Audible for the win this month! I've already bought 5 books. I can't be without an audio book anymore (especially when I'm driving). The Girl on the Train and Yes Please are my favorites so far. 

The faves of the faves

Coveting

1 | The Bloomingdale's Friends & Family sale is on until Oct. 4th! Perfect time to stock up on fall necessities... I've been searching for denim and sweaters (and my favorite basics, of course). Here are the current contents of my bag...

New Balance sneakers, DL1961 jeans, rag & bone tee, AQUA sweater, phone case

2 | I'm going for a stronger brow in autumn. I've finished my Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz and I'm on the hunt for a new brow pencil. I'm leaning towards something with a slanted tip like the one from Burberry or Hourglass. 

3 | I've used up all my samples of Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily so I stopped by the counter over the weekend to finally make the purchase. However, this scent only comes in the 100 mL bottle and I couldn't bring myself to spend $170. It's now on my Christmas list!

4 | I'm getting very bored with our current home decor. I need to spruce things up around here. I've been searching for new throws, pillows and bedding. I'm struggling to find anything I like, but I'm leaning towards a (tiny) bit of color.

5 | The 1975 is releasing their new album in 9 days!! The anticipation is killing me. Brady and I have been slightly obsessed and we're actually quite worried it won't live up to our expectations. Their first album was just too good.

Coveting

1 | I think it's time to invest in a camera. My iPhone 6 has served me well, but better photo quality wouldn't hurt. I've been doing a little research and this Top 10 list is helping me out.

2015 Camera Ranking

2 | My closet is extremely boring- it's overflowing with solid, neutral tees and sweaters. A few patterns would help spice things up. I also realized that I needs more shirts and blouses. ZARA and Anthro have so much choice!

ZARA Printed Blouse

3 | My iPhone has been naked for months. I should keep it in case, but it always ends up being too bulky. I'm searching for a slim case that will fit in my wristlet. This pattern just make me so happy!

Gray Malin Case

4 | My running shoes are on their last leg. I wore them hiking a few too many times and now they're looking worse for wear. I always search ASICS, Brooks, and Mizuno for new running shoes. 

Brooks Adrenaline ASR 12

Coveting

1 | The new NARS Dual Intensity Blushers are perfect for Spring! The colors look so bright and cheery (and pigmented!). I honestly can't decide which shade I like best. My top three are Fever, Adoration, and Frenzy.

2 | I'm in need of new running shoes after ruining mine on our hike over the weekend. I've never tried Brooks, but the 'Adrenaline GTS 15' are looking pretty good. I really should wait from them to go on sale, but I need them :) 

3 | After seeing one my favorite YouTubers, Ingrid Nilsen, feature this product in her February Favorites I knew it needed to be mine. Tresemme Perfectly Undone Wave Creation Sea Foam will be essential once I get my haircut (Friday!).

4 | I realize I'm behind on this one, but I've been loving HAIM at the moment. I still haven't bought the Days Are Gone album. I just listen to the 'preview all' on repeat. It's a total 80's throwback... reminds me of my mom for some reason.
