A notable thing around here this week: Freddie got his first haircut! His little curls in the humidity were so sweet, but when the weather started to calm down a little, it was really looking mullet-y. So my lovely stylist helped us out with a little trim right after Hendrik's regularly scheduled cut. Freddie sat still on my lap for it, but he cried and cried and cried. It turned out so cute, but he seems so grown up which kind of makes me want to cry and cry... Here's a distraction though: a few new & notable things in my life to report on.
In my wardrobe: I thought fall maybe required an update to my "cool kid sneakers" as my friend (hi, Lesley!) calls them... though that name did come about before we had kids, so maybe they're "cool mom sneakers" now? Love a pair like this for wearing with jeans and tees/sweaters to jazz up an outfit but still be comfy for library walks, school pickups, etc. And now that we're venturing back out into the world a bit more (and have a new babysitter on the roster!) I thought this fall deserved a cute dress too. Love the cotton fabric (baby friendly) and print on this one; it'll be cute with tights + boots when it gets cold too.
Around the house: while I loved our West Elm coffee table, it was purchased when Hendrik was beyond the baby/toddler stage... and it was just not working with a now-mobile Freddie. Target to the rescue with this stylish but inexpensive round option, with no corners to bang heads on or metal legs to get tangled up in (Freddie is quite something with getting himself into sticky situations).
And a couple of little indulgences: I haven't worn perfume in years but got a sample set from Vilhelm Parfumerie as part of a beauty advent calendar, and I started trying out one of the summery scents in the last few months - and have liked it so much that I actually bought a little bottle of the mango skin! It's kind of fun having a scent again, in a more grown-up way than the last time I did. And finally, the newest book from one of my favorite rom-com authors, Kerry Winfrey. I treated myself to it, and I'm loving it already - her books are feel-good and delightful.
That's what's new and of note around here. How about for you?
