This + That

• If you’re looking for quality everyday denim under $70, I highly recommend Everlane’s authentic stretch high rise skinny ankle skinny jeans. I ordered a pair in washed black and loved them so much I went back for the dark blue. I’m 5’4″ and they’re the perfect length for flats, heels and ankle boots. 

• Mariah Leonard is my new favorite beauty vlogger for makeup tips and product reviews; her tutorials are easy to follow and wearable for real-life, and her Instagram photos are un-retouched — is that a word? —  which is so refreshing these days. I’m currently following (and loving) her ‘new Instagram model makeup’ routine for weekdays. 

• The Everygirl shared 4 things successful people do in the last 15 minutes of their workday. Jotting down a quick to-do list for the following morning is one of our best habits at the flower shop.

• Byrdie rounded up 15 festive New Year’s Eve manis that are ready to party into 2019.

• Dumplin’ was one of my favorite books of the year (I listened to the audiobook) and now it’s a movie on Netflix starring Jennifer Aniston as Willowdean’s mom. It’s a rainy Sunday and I can’t wait to snuggle up and watch it later.

• My girlfriends and I have been texting all morning about the leather jacket sale at AllSaints. It’s a great time to snag a timeless moto style at a discount, but you have to do it before the sale ends at midnight, Cinderella. This is my top pick in dark pebble grey. 

• 6 reasons bookstores are better than shopping online (I can easily think of at least a dozen more). #shoplocal 

• This ultra-calming skin care duo is my salvation from dry, sensitized winter skin. (Holy drastic weather changes, Florida!) 

• A comprehensive guide for configuring your iPhone to maximize your productivity and focus. Yes, please! (via The Stripe)

• The Coveteur consulted 4 dermatologists for their expert advice on adding acids to your skin care routine. If you’re new to acids, these pre-soaked glycolic pads from Target are a great place to start.

• After more than a year of patiently waiting and a few rounds of sell-outs, C finally got his hands on a Cuyana structured leather tote for my birthday last month and y’all, it was worth the wait. I have it in stone/blush, and I bought the leather tote organization insert to go inside. Put it on yo’ Christmas list! (It’s also available in suede.)
