From Jen:
Can’t wait to watch this new HBOMax show Full Bloom featuring 10 talented up-and-coming floral designers!
Did you guys see who is on the cover of December Vogue?? YES! Love it.
It finally feels like fall here in LA, and I just bought this sweatshirt in another color – LOVE this style. The perfect vintage wash and so soft – plus it’s 45% off this weekend!!
From Jessi:
I’ve wanted to update my serving dishes for a while now, so with Thanksgiving around the corner, it seems like the perfect time! I just ordered some pieces from this acacia wood collection.
Is everybody excited that Baby Yoda is back? We’re locked back into The Mandalorian!
Holiday dresses are dropping! This sequin tunic dress is my favorite!!
As a florist, my brides are always asking me how they can preserve a part of their bouquets. I always send them to Designs by Andrea because she presses the flowers and makes them into masterpieces!
From Britt:
I found one last bottle of this quick-dry nail polish in “Seize the Moment” (the perfect holiday red) on a Target run and gave it a shot. It dries so fast, looks so good, and I’m so sold.
A recent favorite quick dinner.
Stock up on skincare because The Ordinary is offering 23% off their already reasonable prices all November. My husband and I have been using their products for a year to great results. Here’s a good set to get started!
I’ve been taking weekends off social media (more or less…hi, weekend after the election) and I gotta say, when Sunday night rolls around I can really tell the difference in my mental state. Highly recommend.
I found these mini dried wreaths that are SO cute but the gardener who designs them only ships to the UK…however, she wrote a book called Everlasting that teaches you all about harvesting, drying, and creating your own dried flower designs! {photo above via Botanical Tales)
From Katie:
This sweater is the “IT” color for fall. So warm and neutral!
Everyone has been raving to me about these lipsticks so I plan to buy a few this weekend to try them out!
If you need a new book, Good Reads is hosting their Best Books of 2020 awards and everything is divided up into categories!
