Things I Love | Valentine Edition – Washington, DC


DSC00669 2 - NPS Photography

“These are a few of my favorite things!”

No there are whiskers on kittens on my list! I mean who really loves whiskers on kittens? Anyone!?!

But, in honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought I would share some things I’m loving these days.

Some of these brands I’ve followed for a LONG time. Like Dudley Stephens – I have A LOT of Dudley fleeces and joggers and even two baseball caps. I just love this woman owned company and their products are stylish AND comfortable! Tuckernuck in Washington, DC carries Dudleys, too!

Yearly Co. is another female owned company I’ve followed for awhile. Their bangles are the BEST. I take my jewelry off every single night – yes, even my wedding ring. But, I don’t take off my Yearly bangles! I no have 8 of them and two twists were my latest edition (a Christmas gift from my husband). Also, the origin story of Yearly Co. is so cool!

“Sixty years ago Ann’s grandfather, Stewart Simonson, gave her grandmother, Mary Jane, a simple 14k gold bangle to commemorate their wedding anniversary. After Mary Jane passed, Stewart gifted her bangles to their children for them to continue the custom into their own marriages. Thus, a meaningful and lasting tradition was created.”

The List


FavoriteThings - NPS Photography

Barrington Zipper Tote // Finlay Donovan is Killing It // Lace White Blouse // Martha Stewart Notebooks // Dudley Stephen Cobble Hill Fleece // Tula Daily Sunscreen Gel // Yearly Co. Twist Gold Bangle

I got this Barrington Tote this summer along with a travel make-up case and they are fabulous! And SO me! A big monogram and pink – yes, please!

I actually listened to the audible of Finlay Donovan is Killing It and can’t wait for the sequel to come out – don’t worry it’s been pre-ordered!

I’m always looking for white tops (watch this Reel to see why) and this one is super comfortable and adorable!

Notebooks! Who doesn’t need a little notebook and this trio is adorable. I’ve been using them for my Masterminds.

I’m a melanoma survivor and wear sunscreen every single day. I use a number of Tula products on the daily, but this gel sunscreen is seriously my favorite. It’s lightweight and has a little glow to it.

I’d love to know what things you are loving these days! Share them in the comments.

Happy shopping my friends.
