Happy Friday, friends! I arrived back home last night and am in Brooklyn for less than 48 hours as I am heading to Newport, RI this Sunday morning for the first time! I am so excited to explore a place that has long been on my travel bucket list and the weather looks like it should be gorgeous!

• I updated Meghan’s Closet in The Shop! I also finally built out the Beauty Favorites category in my Amazon Shop! All products I use and love.
