Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁
When my bffl Sophie was in town a few weeks ago, we certainly shopped till we dropped! There’s something about shopping with friends that makes everything seem like a good idea—which is simultaneously very fun annnd very bad for my bank account! 😂💸🙈
Here are some of the goodies Soph and I got while she was here:

Lululemon Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie
Do I need another sweatshirt? No. Do I need another expensive sweatshirt? Definitely not. But when your best friend is gushing about how great they are, I mean…?! The Lulu Scuba is undeniably soft and cozy. It also worked out well that I bought it on day 2, and the whole next week of Soph’s visit was significantly cooler, so I’ve already worn the heck out of it! (…and I’m currently wearing it while writing this post!) 😁
Aimee Kestenberg Alia wallet
Boring but necessary. I do very much enjoy black with gold accents—and spending $18 for something that looks much fancier! Also, I got this at Nordstrom Rack, a very “Sophie” store, so it’s fitting that we ended up there. 🫶
Altar’d State jeans
Speaking of deals, these were on the sale rack for FIVE DOLLARS. What?! I do not feel cool enough for them, but the look is growing on me, and they’re v stretchy and soft. Without the low, low price, Soph would not have been able to talk me into this! 😂
Really embracing my Sad Beige Child era. 🥲👍
Squishable Cinnamon bun
Are you even on vacation if you haven’t bought something that delights your inner child?? 😁 (I actually got the cinnamon bun in the smaller “Snacker” size, but I can’t seem to find it on their site… just know that it’s pretty much the perfect size. 🫶)
Maybelline Lifter gloss
I didn’t want to believe the hype, but for $10, the Lifter gloss is pretty great. I actually already had it, in the shade Stone, but I wanted to get a clear version because I’m boring. Target always seems to be just about sold out, so when we ran into that issue, Sophie suggested hitting up the Ulta in the same shopping complex. 🎶That’s what friends are for🎶 Ulta had a much bigger selection, and I got the shade “Ice,” which is such a pale pink that it’s basically clear. The non-sticky consistency is great, but the scent is really the best part. It’s a wonderful mix of coconut and vanilla (that also disappears fairly quickly, so it’s not annoying).
“Sports” hat
I love this so much. GO SPORTS! 😂 This was a Soph purchase, in anticipation of outdoor activities—like going to a AAA baseball game where she knew no one on either team. 😂👍
The Creme Shop How Do Eye Look under-eye patches
I find that it’s not a true friend reunion until you’ve done some sort of face mask (or used Biore strips LOL)! These looked super cute and felt very nice—what more does one need?
And is this me now? Yes. 😂😩
