Lately...
I know once a month I add a little “life update” to the Monthly Edit post. But I thought why not expand a little bit about the comings and goings of my life more? A place to share things that are catching my eye, what I’m enjoying, buying, watching, etc. in a more in-depth kinda way? Maybe it will be interesting…maybe not. Either way, it’s my blog and it’s happening right now.
Listening To
Shore is the surprise new album from Fleet Foxes and it is perfection. It’s beautiful and it brought even more fall vibes just when I needed them. Fleet Foxes holds a special place in my heart and their music was constantly in my headphone when I went back to class in the fall. They have always been a huge part of my fall/winter soundscape so I’m incredibly stoked to have a whole new album to listen to.
Obsessing Over
I might be “too old” for TikTok, but the dark hole I’ve found myself in time and time again is Amazon/Desk Organization/Office Supply TikTok. That is where I learned about the joys of the electric mug warmer. I know there are special mug warmers with their own cups, but I like being able to use my favorite coffee mugs with this warmer. Long gone are the days of me leaving my coffee or tea on the desk only to come back to it when it’s way too cold. Plus, it automatically shuts off when there isn’t a mug on it and turns right back on when there is.
Wearing
I know after the 2016 election I swore no more political merchandise, but when I saw this sweatshirt I just couldn’t resist. Not only does it look cool it’s incredibly soft and warm.

Eyeing
I have a long-running list of fall items I want to add to my closet. I have been slowly adding new pieces while cleaning out my closet. So far I’ve added new jeans, sweaters, and a couple of other items I’m really excited to start wearing. Sweater weather is kinda perfect for the work from home lifestyle we’ve become accustomed to so they are totally justifiable purchases. Looking for sweaters? Check out the 2020 Sweater Edit.
I’m currently eyeing: This dress, these jeans, this top, and these boots.
Eating
I never thought I’d admit to getting sick of salads. I love a good salad, but lately, I’ve felt like I needed a little more. I’ve gone back to grain bowls but this time instead of the ever-dreaded quinoa, I decided on brown rice. Right now I have two combinations. One is a sushi inspired bowl with no fish and a soy-sesame ginger dressing. The other is a more of a burrito bowl without meat and easy chipotle dressing. They are warm, filling, and delicious.
