    Link love…

    • This collection of pet costumes is pretty fantastic. Definitely worth a peek if you need a smile. My favorite is the ram.
    • I am positively obsessed with this sweet little pumpkin. I’m trying so hard to curate a very specific set of holiday decor pieces. Ya know, things I truly enjoy seeing each season. I feel like that guy fits the bill.
    • They no longer carry the print I have but this blanket is seriously perfect. It’s warm, super soft + big enough for Jeff & I to cuddle under on the couch. According to the review I left, looks like I’ve had it for about a year. Still very very happy!
    • Yeah, I’m here showing off another striped shirt. Are you even surprised? But at least this one is unique!

    Happy Friday!
    xoxo

    PS. I have a ton more rad finds here! This week I spent a bunch of time updating the Halloween list! So many cute odds + ends. Here’s a small preview…

When we got back to the hotel for the evening, Jeff and I set off to work figuring out what we’d do the next morning. Hitting up …
