What a week. Monday I felt so on edge and cried multiple times. I sought solace through time with friends, de-stressing workouts and new Fall TV. (Anyone else so glad Will & Grace is back?) I kept thinking about what a scary world we’re living in and how a little kindness can go a long way. I’m going to carry that sentiment with me in the weeks and months ahead. Will you join me in it?!

Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend you guys. xo

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Did some self care with a meditation class at Inscape and classes at Rumble, Flywheel, Flybarre and hot yoga. The time spent doing this was much needed to focus + reset.
• Visited a holiday gift showcase – it’s almost gift guide time (oy!)
• Got a much needed facial at Mario Badescu.
• Contacted my representatives to voice my concerns over further gun control being needed. This made it so easy to do.

READ + LOOK +  LOVE:

• Loved Grace’s call to action for three nice things we can all easily do.
• This moment had me in tears.
• Ellen always has the right words and this video is full of beautiful reminders of people doing GOOD in the world.
• How major are Jane & Helen walking this runway?

• Sole Society has some great new arrivals like these over the knee boots, these booties & this bag!
• I just got these in the mail and frankly was blown away at the quality. I’m not usually one to buy designer knockoffs but decided to give these a go and truly love how expensive they look. (FYI: I did buy half a size up due to reviews and that worked perfectly.)
