My new favorite outfit. It’s from Lands’ End Canvas, my most recent obsession. I shouldn’t have tucked in my shirt, I can see that now, no mocking. What do you think? Love? Me too.

I’m sick of my hair. It’s getting long-ish, and it’s sad. I have thin hair to start with, and Lupus only makes it that much hotter. In fact, if I’m photographed from above sometimes you can see bald spots. Not kidding. Here’s what it looks like now: Not terrible, not really amazing either.

The Perfect Small Gold Necklace.

Mighty Summit was chock-a-block full of delectable, pampering gifts for the attendees and I’m supremely grateful for all of them. Truly, I am. This gold necklace though, this beautiful handmade gold necklace with five little rings holds the most significance for me, out of all the gifts. One was given to each of us at the farewell dinner, and the rings signify the five things we promised we’d cross off our life lists within the next year. I have my…

My Everyday Earrings

These sterling silver gemstone earrings are my new favorites. They were part of the swag from SocialLuxe Lounge and have become a part of my outfit every single day. Unless I’m going somewhere fancy and want to wear bigger earrings, I pop these in as a go-to staple. Aren’t they fabulous? They’re from Cambria Cove, a crowd favorite, and while I can’t these exact ones on their site right now, they have plenty like them that will get the job…

This week’s What’s in Your Purse Series is from Danielle, of Elleinad Spir. Thanks Danielle! My current (and favorite) bag is by Marc Jacobs.
