     Last year I realized that sweaters from Sugarhill Boutique were basically the bee’s knees. They fit me so well. Aaaand now it’s like they’re designing things just for me! I NEED this sweater.

    I was just thinking how sad I will be to take down my moon calendar when the year ends but then I spotted this which is incredibly similar…and maybe even a little bit cooler!

    Not even going to lie, from the main photo on the listing I thought this was a candle and I thought it sounded awesome. When I went to grab a photo for this post I realized it wasn’t a candle at all but literal maple cream… and I’m still super into it! That sounds delicious.

    This shirt!

    I basically enjoy all cutesy kitchen items but this mushroom mortar and pestle takes the cake!!

    I can always find room for one more patch, especially when it’s a cactus!

    Boy, this post sure has a theme this week, huh? Why stop now? Here’s a cactus watch!

    I saved the best for last, Melissa from Miss Missy Paper Dolls made a paper doll of me… and it’s the absolute coolest thing ever.

    Link love…
    ▴ Spine candle! Perfect for Halloween…or all year long if you’re like me!
    ▴ Opted to share a link to this instead of including the photo because even I can admit it’s a little creepy, but I kiiiind of need this for my collection of dental odds and ends.
    ▴ You guys, I don’t even drink but there was no way I could not share this corgi bottle stopper with you. It’s so cute!
    ▴ This studio applause sign is super neat.
    ▴ Love this gold bralette and panties set!

    Happy Friday!!
    xoxo

    After Roswell, Jeff and I drove up to Tucumcari, New Mexico. The original plan included us dipping in to Texas but we realized it would make for a super long drive to the next night’s hotel so we nixed that and decided just to leisurely cruise parts of Old Rt. 66 on our way to …
