What I'm Loving Lately #44
choosing joy
my favorite swim/gym top (wearing a L but probably could have done M)
I’ve been focusing lately on choosing joy. This doesn’t involve planning a huge trip to Europe, or changing my life. But instead, choosing those small moments that glimmer in your heart just a little bit. And instead of taking them for granted, tuning into them. Sitting with them. Listening to them. I find the more I do this, the most they come. Like begets like and all that…
What I’m watching, reading and listening to
Watching: I really loved The Secrets We Keep (Netflix) which reminded me of Big Little Lies (but in Danish!)
Reading: I just finished this summer read and loved it. I also took my time getting through Mimi Bouchard’s book and I’d highly recommend you do the same!
Listening to: So many good podcasts lately! Loved these episodes below:
Also loving Bon Iver’s new album and Caamp’s older album Lavender Days (the perfect summer writing playlist)
What’s inspiring me
Choosing to take a second to recognize the tiny special moments in life that bring me joy. The wind in the morning, my baby’s toes, the way the light enters our home, falling asleep with everyone safe under one roof, having time to cook, enjoying a glass of wine. The little things that are actually the humungous things.
What I’m cooking
^my farmer’s market haul
Actually lots of cooking lately which is rare in these parts. While I am still very much relying on Tractor At Home (code: SOPHIECOLLINS) for our weekly meals, I’ve started to mix up some of my favorite Reset recipes and seem to have those on a nice rotation.
What’s in my cart
Another Etsy pick for me! I think I need this crossbody lanyard for chasing the kids around this summer without a purse?
I’m reallllly loving Dorsey’s paracord collection. Specifically, I am eyeing the red necklace (LOOK AT THE BACK 😩 ), and the green bracelet.
I’ve tried all the denim shorts. These ones are still the best.
Needed a new sweatshirt so ordered this one. It’s so cozy.
The SKIMS poplin collection - lovingggg the pink.
What YOU’RE loving lately - weekly bestsellers from all of you!
So many of you ordered the high quality beaded necklace I shared!
Lots of you getting in on our robe restock.
A few pairs of these brown suede sandals out the door!
You all love this brand’s pointelle.
This scalloped raffia bag is everything and you think so too.
What I’m loving lately
I’ve been joking that we should have called this dress the Nancy Meyers Dress (it’s just sooo the vibe!)
I had my sights set on this dress when it first came out months ago and I finally bought it. Worth every penny and brings me joy when I wear it! Color = joy.
I really really really love these sandals. Have been wearing them non-stop. Leather forever!
Lately:
My Summer Permission Slip
I shared recently on IG that I’ve been spending a lot of time going inward and thinking very intentionally about how I want to spend my time, where I want to spend it and how I want to feel each day. I have been really focusing on paying attention to what feels good, what drains me, what energizes me, and where I need to adjust. I have been prioritizing my mental and physical health ruthlessly, spending time each day moving and fuelling my body in the way I know it makes me feel my best. I’m doing all of this unapologetically. I’ve been trying, through these moments, to find clarity, yet at the same time, just listen to what is coming up for me. Whether it be with family, my career, friends…my goal is to listen to the whispers before they become screams.
Happy Monday loves <3
