Recent Favorites – January 2020

Sale PSA: Adorable low Nike basketball shoes, now just $45, a pretty Natori underwire bra, now 40% off, and this super fun J.Crew rain jacket (I like the kiwi color!) now 30% off with code SHADOW. (Also – I am very into these silk lion pants, also 30% off)

Hello! I ALMOST made it to the end of January without buying anything new (I ordered this jumpsuit – pretty good, right?? It hasn’t arrived yet, so maybe I’ll count it for Feb) but there have been a few items that I enjoyed and wore a LOT in January, that I think are worth the price. So sharing them with you today-

First, a beauty product!

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Curviest Caramel, $19: I love this color, very “your lips but better” at least for me. I’ve used up two of these to the end so that makes them a super winner in my book. So easy to apply, good color payoff and still moisturizing. I tried to find a dupe in a drugstore but could not (do any of you have suggestions?

Everlane Henley Waffle Tee, $38: I got this in bone, and now am thinking about adding black and gray. It’s really good! I am a henley lover AND a waffle tee lover so this is right up my alley. It’s also a great semi-cropped length which looks flattering with everything yet doesn’t show my belly (BELLY) sometimes when I list my arms, like other cropped shirts do. It’s really great! The kind you buy that ends up being a closet staple.

Birkenstock EVA Gizeh, $45: I recently was in Hawaii and these Birkenstocks were all I wore! I really love the Birkenstock EVA line – they are inexpensive, require zero break in (comfortable off the bat) and actually look decent. I have a pair that I’ve worn as slippers indoors for two years and they are still going strong. Awesome shoes. These are great for beaches/sandy playgrounds because they wash off easily in water, unlike the cork Birkenstocks, and are super light. If you’re going to the beach, get a pair of the Birkenstock EVAs.

Baggu bags, $25 for set of three. I have this exact set and use them a lot. The plaid is cool! I feel like I’m in Empire Records (not really, but you get the deal). This year I am really trying to reduce my plastic bag usage – when we leave restaurants with leftovers, etc, instead of taking their plastic bag I always just whip out my Baggu. Yes it can feel a little useless when you see their big STACK of plastic bags but I really feel that we can do our share! And these bags are way cuter. I’ve washed mine in the washing machine and they come out perfect.
