WEEKEND READING

*image

A crazy cool rug for any color palette.

Back in stock: these necklaces and these glasses.

Food for thought: what would you do if money were no object?

I'm dying to take this class in NYC.

I have such a girl crush on Sarah Jessica Parker after this interview.

I'm eyeing this bag for spring. It would fit my laptop...!

I'm searching for a coffee table for my new place. Any suggestions?

I'm so intrigued by oil pulling. Have you tried it?

In case you missed it: what my apartment looked like the day I moved in.

Lots of new monogrammed goodies in the boutique.

MY NEW SHOES

It wasn't my intention to skip this morning's blog post but this week just got away from me. Lots of meetings, new projects, and an evening event on top of the usual workload... Let's just say I'm happy the weekend is finally here, even if it just means a couple extra hours to catch up on my inbox before Monday. Phew!

So here's all I've got for you: a pretty new pair of pink shoes. I'm of the opinion a girl can never have too many — I also own these (on final sale!) and these and can't wait to wear them all spring and summer. (Maybe even tomorrow? 55 degrees!) They'll be great with dressy shorts, white jeans, and summery skirts and dresses. Sunshine, bring it on.

I'll be back next week with a new career feature (any guesses?!), more outfit posts, and hopefully a new spring in my step! I've been looking forward to tonight's double date all week and can't wait to log some quality time at the dog park tomorrow morning. What are you up to? Whatever it is, have a good one. Here's hoping we all get the rest, relaxation, and vitamin D we need! xx

INTRODUCING SWAPDOM

 Living in New York (or a studio apartment anywhere) means being strategic about which pieces you have closet space for and being proactive about getting rid of items you no longer wear. You've seen my apartment so you know how little space I'm working with! I adopted an official "one in, one out" rule early on to keep my one closet edited to pieces I'm most likely to wear: for every item I purchase, I consign, donate, or sell another. If you're feeling overwhelmed by a closet full of clothes you almost never wear, I highly recommend this strategy!

Needless to say I was pretty excited to learn about a cool concept called Swapdom. With a lot of consignment options, you drop off your items and wait until they sell in order to receive credit or payment. With Swapdom, you actually offer one of your items in exchange for one of someone else's. If the other person doesn't want what you have, no problem! Swapdom's algorithm arranges a circular swap with someone who does, no negotiating necessary. This way, you're the only person who puts a price on your items and you get something you actually want in exchange. (There's a ton of J.Crew, Madewell, Ralph Lauren, etc.!) It's the "one in, one out" strategy gone global. Pretty cool, right?
