I hope you’re all staying inside and being safe. I must admit, I was quite disheartened this weekend when I saw so many images of crowded locations around Los Angeles. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a little fresh air. I take Jack Jack on walks daily. But I go to remote locations and make sure to practice social distancing. It’s so scary to see so many people not taking the precautions we need as a society to get through this pandemic. Ok, that’s enough about the coronavirus. Onto more fun things, like my weekly faves…
5 THINGS I’M LOVING RIGHT NOW
#1: Flatform comfort
I had a pair of flatforms from Sole Society that I wore non-stop two summer in a row. After so much wear, it was finally time to replace them. While I still love my chunkier flatform espadrilles, I wanted a slightly more streamline design as my replacement. My new platform espadrilles are just as comfortable as my previous pair that I loved. But the thinner ankle strap feels more feminine for my current tastes.

#2: shiny leggings
These black high waist leggings were a bit of a splurge, but they’re worth every penny. My body instantly feels better when I slip them on, thanks to the sculpting fabric. I like how the high waist covers my belly button. And my favorite part is the shiny material. It has a leather leggings look. So when I throw on a sweatshirt or sweater, I feel chic in my workout gear.

#3: lightweight hoops
I’m a major gold hoops girl. I have them in all different shapes and sizes. My most recent additions are these gold diamond shape hoop earrings. I was initially drawn to the unique shape. But after putting them on, I had a new favorite about the design: the weight! I barely feel them on my ears, which has made them my most recent go-tos.

#4: Pretty rain
It’s been raining non-stop in LA. And each time I go outside to walk Jack Jack, I reach for my pink rain jacket. I bought it a couple of years ago and bring it out any time it rains (which usually isn’t this often!). I was happy to see they still make it, just in updated colors. While my pale pink is gone, they have a brighter pink with orange details. They also still have the classic navy, army green and black, which are definitely the practical way to go!

#5: friends forever
It’s certainly not my favorite but I’m including How Could She because it’s definitely an entertaining read. The book is a cute story about female friendship. The story follows three 30-something friends, who are navigating very different parts of their lives: marriage, career and motherhood. While I couldn’t really relate to any of the characters fully, I enjoyed seeing how their lives intertwined. It also made me text my best friends after I was finished with the book to make sure we were doing a good job about staying in touch!
