5 Things I Love Friday

Wowee — It’s been quite a week, hasn’t it? Talk about information overload! Goodness gracious…I think there was more breaking news in the span of five days than all year. Is anyone else feeling a little bit of overwhelm with everything coming our way? I’m raising my hand. 

That said, I AM dishing on some of my latest published pieces, some serious door drama out in Palm Springs, a photo essay that will bring tears to your eyes, a splurge shirt I’m happy I kept and MORE! This week’s check-in is a good one, so let’s get rolling…

5 Things I Love Friday

The Dark Side of Instagram’s Favorite Door is a supremely interesting read. 

This portrait series of a photographer’s parents waving farewell had me in tears. 

If there’s one thing people probably notice about my house, it’s all the woven furniture. Chelsea’s cane furniture and woven textures round-up is SO GOOD!

I’ve had quite a few pieces go live recently for a military-centric media site called We Are The Mighty and my author page lists all my pieces, so feel free to check them out. I cover mostly travel and inspiring spouse stories, so if you have any good story leads, be sure to send them my way! 

I picked up this white swing top during a 25% off sale and I’m so glad I did, because I wore it for the first time this week and it’s a combination of all the things I like about clothing — light, breathable and versatile. I sized down to an XS and it’s plenty big!

My favorite foodie of all time, Gaby Dalkin from What’s Gaby Cooking, launched cocktail mixers this week and to say I’m excited would be a large understatement. I met Gaby at a blogging conference in 2016 and she is just as awesome in real life as she is on the internet and everything she makes is just…ugh…**chef’s kiss**…SO GOOD. In any case, I’m so excited to sample some of her mixers from her Williams-Sonoma line! 

Happy weekend, everyone!
