The List, no. 2
10 things I've been loving lately
A little bit of everything in this post: books, shopping, beauty, crafts, home, and my favorite podcast listen of the week.
Hestra Gloves, these are a splurge, but worth the price. The pair I have has held up so nicely, and I still love them years later - these are on my list because I want to switch it up. The perfect everyday glove, and because they’re pricey, you're bound to keep tabs on them.
Lipstick on the Rim with Crown Affair founder Dianna Cohen, I’m a Crown Affair customer and loved hearing more about the brand. She describes the product as non-makeup makeup (for your hair), and I feel like that is the perfect description! I’m a huge fan of their leave-in conditioner and just reordered during the Sephora sale (the only thing I purchased).
Splits59 Airweight Bra, I bought this bra last month during the Shopbop sale, and it’s a good one. It has great coverage and support while being super soft and comfortable.
Necessaire The Lip Balm, with winter upon us, I’m always looking for lip products that work, and this one looks promising.
Freda Salvador Bailey Boot, these are the cooler version of the Brooke boot, which I have and love (truly, I have a spotlight on it coming soon). They are a splurge but are part of the 25% off sale!
Book Club 2026 line-up: The Names, The Compound, and All the Colors of the Dark (TBD, it’s over 500 pages, so it’s under review!). So Excited to dig into these. If you’ve read any of them, let me know your thoughts (no spoilers!)
Purl Soho Whisper Bandana, I bought this a year ago, and I’m finally taking it out - I always get an itch to craft in the winter, looking forward to making some progress. I’m by no means an expert, but I know an expert knitter that I lean on, and the tutorials that Purl offers are wonderful.
Margaux Downtown Boot, another beautiful pair of boots I’ve had my eye on for a while now, and 20% for Black Friday.
Colorful Trays, I pinned these a while ago and love the versatility and pop of color they provide. Such a great way to corral nightstand items.
I needed some inspiration, so I turned to my ‘Fall Style’ pins!
Cheers to the weekend, happy early Black Friday shopping!

I really love the Margaux boots.
We should have a knitting club! That knit bandana looks fun!
