Friday Five

Posted on March 10th, 2017

A delicious poke salad bowl from the coolest shop up the hill from us.  As tasty as it is aesthetically pleasing, and challenging because chopsticks and salads are a tricky mix.

Daydreaming… about Hawaii (still) because Gray Malin just released a stunning new collection.  Do we think it’s a coincidence that he releases this 10 days after our honeymoon and one of the photos is of the resort where we stayed on Kauai, or is it a sign that I need to buy it?

Scooping up… coats on major sale.  This is the time of year when retailers think it’s spring but we all know it’s clearly still winter, so you can get gorgeous jackets at gorgeous prices, wear them for a few weeks this year, and then have a fresh look ready to go when the brisk air returns in the fall.  I got this red parka for our upcoming Canada trip, but I love the statement of this print, the elegance of this silhouette, and the versatility and durability of this style.

Applauding… the Fearless Girl statue.  Unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably heard about the awesome, captivating statue of the girl in front of the bull on Wall Street, placed there just ahead of International Women’s Day to encourage companies to add more women to their corporate boards.  I love the idea, love the execution, and love the attention it is getting.

Baking… snickerdoodle bars.  I don’t have a reason.  The ingredients were in the pantry.  Bakers gonna bake.  (PS the Island Pecan Pie was very well received!)

Staying… hydrated.  I’m probably just a little bit too into the Lilly x S’well collaboration.  I haven’t been as much of a Lilly girl since moving to the Pacific Northwest, so I think that suppression has caused an inappropriate attachment to colorful little water bottles.

I’m planning some career-related content for the coming days that I’m looking forward to sharing– so I’ll see you next week!
