THE PADDED BAG
Okay, so I bought this quilted bag, this one and this one… and the official winner was this bag! While all three were great, this one had the longest drop (wearing crossbody is much easier with this style) and the most minimal details. This bag and this tote were both super functional and well made, but felt sportier with the pop zip pullers and other details. I thought this one would be the most versatile. Speaking of bags, I have to say how much I enjoy this bum – more on that bag later!

THE GOOD ENOUGH JOB
Almost every morning I listen to NPR’s Up First podcast — it’s a quick and easy way to digest some of the biggest news stories from around the world. Every week they add other programs and this one from last Sunday really appealed to me. I look forward to reading the book!
DORSEY
Dorsey has quickly become a favorite jewelry brand of mine. A great price, easy to mix and match, and I get so many compliments – what’s not to love? You can read much more about my favorite pieces here and I recently added this bracelet and necklace to my growing pile.

LEAVED IN CONDITIONER
My hair is fine and brittle and colored, so I tend to use a lot of products, especially conditioners and heat protectants. Currently, I love this leave-in conditioner. I also use this hair serum – which so many influencers rave about – and so far I am a big fan myself!

NECK NEWNESS
I recently bought this necklace and it has become a super cute addition to my layered necklace looks. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect as it cost less than $30, but the quality is amazing! Maybe I’ll go back for another color!
