Weekend Reading 2.7.2020

Happy Friday! This was one of those New England winter weeks that started out feeling like spring and ended with a fresh 8 inches of snow on the ground and ice blanketing the trees. Ugh. I'm really trying to embrace winter and appreciate this time of year, but those few days spent walking back and forth to the gym and downtown and running outdoors felt really, really nice. Oh well. This weekend is looking like another quiet one. I'm hoping to get outside and might head up North for some cross-country skiing or the Camden Toboggan Races but otherwise need to do some bookkeeping and tax-prep (so fun!). Hope your weekend is a cozy one! xo

FYI: I have a new code for Ogee Organics: 'Julie2'. use it for 15%off your next order (psst, receive a free lip oil with any order over $100!

Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? I always love the pretty V-day themed clothing and accessories (like these pretty clips) that pop up this time of year

ICYMI January in review

A Valentine's message to Target: ditch the plastic (click to sign)

Speaking of V-day, how romantic are these vintage-inspired button studs? So classic but updated. And these nameplate necklaces would make the perfect gift (hint hint)

Ha - love this: Jimmy Fallon thinks he's cancelled after calling Ru Paul a drag queen (scroll to the bottom for the video)

Speaking of Valentines, these adorable chocolates would make a sweet (!) gift for a friend, mom or sister (this sunny set is cute too)

The case for fanatical optimism

I finished this book last night (recommended) and now it's time for a new one! Using Grace's Amazon Picks as inspiration – she always has great recommendations

Texting with Aidy Bryant (who else is excited to watch Ru Paul host SNL this weekend?)

I don't shop often at H&M but went there last week looking for a hat. I found the perfect orange creamsicle hat (now needed in every other color – very thick and warm and also ON SALE)  and this super cozy fleece (fits slightly oversized, I bought a small)

6 outfits to get you through Bad Winter, because it's officially here (Crystal's looks are always my favorites)
