loving lately.

{a few stray chips that managed to weasel their way home with us}

the better half of this week was spent catching up from my exciting, although slightly exhausting, trip out west- fighting an impending cold, getting back into my gym routine {soul cycle is my new obsession}, and gearing up for my start of graduate school next week. and now that the weekend is finally here, i look forward to some quiet time at home, maybe a little bit of baking, a rangers game viewing {yay the nhl is back!} and one last hooray with the sisters before they head back to their respective schools. until then, here are a few things i’ve been loving as of late…

{a belated christmas gift i’ve been living in}

{our current go-to green: stay tuned for a yummy brussels sprout salad recipe}

{a vegas souvenir: the lv mahina bag that i had been lusting after for a year}

{wish: a clean, powdery scent i’ve been wearing in anticipation of the spring}

special delivery.

after patiently waiting for several weeks, i was pleasantly surprised to find my custom made casetagram case waiting on my doorsteps last night… in case you haven’t heard, casetagram is a great website where you can create your very own phone case using your instagram photos. and because my instragram is dominated by pics of henry dog, it’s safe to my case is a bit of a shrine to the pup. can’t wait to show it off! click here to make your own!

hello.

etsy purchases have been my new thing recently… if you can get past the overwhelming amount of {awesome} pages of merchandise, you can find some great things at decent prices. with my apartment makeover in full swing, i’ve picked out a few home accents that i’m super excited to receive… in addition to perusing side tables and wall shelves i couldn’t help but look at all the bulldog-related merch- from t shirts, to wall hangings to these super cute note cards. with lots of friends still on the left coast, i couldn’t help but pick these cards to say “hello!” from me & henry…

alphabet city.

i think it took me roughly 2.5 seconds to order my very own pair of these monogrammed converse chuck taylors after seeing them here at the monogram studio. it took me another .5 to order them for my sisters and bff. the hardest part was choosing between all the different color combinations… and whether or not i wanted a traditional monogram or cute image- think olympic rings/anchors/sports team logo. i’m definitely thinking a rangers pair for next season… and with the price just under $100, they make a perfectly personal present that won’t break the bank. pick yours up here!
