Like all of you, I am inside and awash with the gamut of emotions this horrible situation elicits. I have taken deep comfort in the snippet of the meditation I shared here.
Today, digging into my steely determination to maintain perspective and optimism by sharing a roundup of items I am seriously eyeing (or have already purchased) for spring…
A NEW FLORAL MUG FOR MY NIGHTTIME TEA RITUAL (ON SALE!)
BOWOOD PILLOW COVER FOR MY DESK CHAIR (A HAT TIP TO THE TRUE GRANDMILLENNIALS OUT THERE)
PLANTERS FOR THE ROYAL PALMS IN OUR DINING ROOM — DROOL OVER THESE BUT THEY DON’T QUITE FIT THE COLOR PALETTE; WILL LIKELY BUY THESE IN THE SPA OR TAUPE)
THIS DISTRESSED PEARL TRIM CARDIGAN
THESE MINI PEARL HOOPS (UNDER $35) — NEVER BEEN MUCH OF A HOOP PERSON, BUT THESE ARE SO GOOD!
RECLINER PAJAMAS IN PINK OR BLUE (WHENEVER RESTOCKED IN MY SIZE) — I AM OBSESSED WITH THE SLEEP PANTS OF THEIRS I HAVE
WESTMAN ATELIER FOUNDATION AND HIGHLIGHT STICK
GORGEOUS LINEN PLACEMATS FOR THE NEXT TIME WE ARE ABLE TO ENTERTAIN (LOVE THESE FOR A MORE CASUAL VIBE)
SPLURGE: A NEW PAIR OF CHANEL BALLET FLATS
What’s on your wishlist for spring?
P.S. More spring finds.
P.P.S. This is how it happens: thoughts on how COVID will shape the habits of our generation.
P.P.P.S. Reader FAQs and how to have a wonderful happy hour at home.
It’s funny … I went on a resort-y holiday back in December and bought a bunch of summery dresses for that. I feel grateful for this as I’ve not been in a shopping mood much lately, and these dresses will still feel new come late spring, when I can bust them out again! I’m pretty sure that I will only be buying a new dress for my birthday in June, and that’s it. I’m really trying to be frugal, just given the economic uncertainties right now.
Those little pearl hoops are certainly tempting, though!

So nice that you have a closet full of fresh dresses to look forward to. It is still pretty cold in these parts (as I’m guessing it is in Boston), but I’ve been wearing lots of sundresses around the house because — well, I can! 🙂 Instant mood lifter.

SO glad you love the Recliner sleep pants! I am already stalking my next pair of PJs…
Xoxo
EPIC rec. I’m a total convert and have texted like half of my friends urging them to buy a pair. MANY THANKS. xx
On hey! That should read The Enchanted Home!!
Sorry, Denise
Thank you!!
I bought myself a Bowood pillow a few years ago and it remains one of my favourite home purchases It’s so beautifully British and classic. I purchased a new desk chair last week, and have been looking for warm weather loungewear (working from home is looking like the reality for the next few months at least…). I am also looking for at least one fun dress to wear to work once I’m back in the office. Not sure when that will be, but it keeps me hopeful!
Hi Britt! Oo love a good pop of bowood. So elegant! Warm weather loungewear — are you thinking sundresses/caftans or casual pants/tees? xx
Hi Jen! For loungewear, I gravitate more towards pants/tees. I live in dresses & skirts for work through the warmer months, but change into ‘soft pants’ the second I get home.
Aha! Going to keep my eye out, but Innika Choo makes really chic beachy loungewear, including some cute shortalls/overalls in a linen-y material. I just snapped up a pair myself!

I love all things from The Enchanted House. Denise
