LULU & GEORGIA BOOKENDS

It's been too long since I shared any apartment updates! I kind of took a break from decorating after my apartment tour went live but I've added a couple new items and restyled here and there. This spot is on top of the radiator underneath my gallery wall and I recently restyled it with these horse bookends courtesy of Lulu & Georgia. It's right next to my desk so I wanted it to be a colorful little vignette that would brighten my work day! Paired with a few of my favorite books, my go-to candle, and some matches from my boutique, the bookends are the perfect equestrian accent. Check out how some of my blogger friends styled their bookends on the Lulu & Georgia blog and shop a few of my favorite books in the slideshow below.

P.S. Want some bookends of your own? Use code BOOKWORM for free shipping with your order!

P.P.S. How gorgeous is the painting by Theresa Drapkin?! Her Etsy shop is full of gorgeous original paintings — I can't wait to see what she creates next!

ARE YOU A BAG, JEWELRY, OR SHOE PERSON?

I have a new theory that Eddy is probably sick of hearing me talk about so I thought I'd share it with all of you: I think all women are innately either bag or jewelry or shoe people. You can appreciate all three, sure, but there's one category that always draws you in more than the others. Do you think that's true? Which one are you? Here's my answer...

Shoes all the way! A new pair of shoes makes me totally reconsider my whole wardrobe; I start playing dress-up with pieces I haven't worn in a while and suddenly even my most boring outfits feel fresh and fun again. I've never worn a ton of jewelry — usually just one or two pieces from my boutique — and switching handbags always feels like such a chore. What about you? Are you a bag, jewelry, or shoe person? I'm dying to know! 

P.S. If you're a fellow "shoe person," you might enjoy a few of my favorite pairs at the moment...

CURRENT OBSESSIONS

1. Diptyque Baies candle

I've gone through three of them since moving to New York and I don't think I'll ever find another scent I love quite so much. Every time I run out, I skip over to the Diptyque store on Madison Ave. for a replacement. Bonus: I use the empty candles to hold makeup brushes and my toothbrush!

2. Brandy Pham Lovely Ring

Brandy and I follow each other on Instagram and I'm obsessed with her classic-with-a-twist style. When she sent me this ring, I immediately put it on and haven't taken it off since. So many people have asked where I've gotten it — it's perfectly dainty, unique, and apparently a good conversation starter to boot! See it in action here.

3. Henry & Belle Super Skinny in Spruce

I don't know what it is but these jeans are magic. They're a little long on me (I'm 5'1") and I'm worried to have them hemmed with the zipper so I've been tucking them into my riding boots. Confession: I totally wore them all day Saturday and Sunday and have a feeling they'll be in heavy rotation when it comes time for snow boots too.

4. Jack Wills faux fur snood

I picked this up during our trip to Boston and it's been hard to resist wearing it every single day. I've been pairing it with my J.Crew field jacket (as seen here) or just throwing it on top of a sweater if it's not too chilly out. Cozy and super cute... What's not to love?

5. Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes 

If I were to write a lazy girl's guide to makeup, these would be the pièce de résistance. I picked them up at the drugstore for $5 and now I have no excuse to sleep in makeup when I'm too tired to do my whole nighttime skincare regimen. They're great at removing eye makeup (always the hardest part, no?) and leave my skin feeling fresh and soft. Yes, please!

Any products you're obsessed with right now? I'd love to hear from you!
