I haven’t done one of these in a while, so let’s play along, eh? 

Super random, but this is my favorite Lilly print, and it makes me happy for whatever reason, so I have it for both my iPad and my iPhone covers. I’m also proud of myself for being moderately responsible and not sending some cashmoney with my friend Julie to the Lilly sample sale. I think my wallet AND closet are a-ok with the quantity of Lilly dresses I have right now.

My favorite moisturizer – Ashley introduced me to it years ago, and I love how light it is AND I love the awesome gift with purchase Nordstrom just did when I ordered it. (The current GWP isn’t quite as generous, but it’s still more than you get if you buy a standalone product at Sephora, so.) 

Zappos customer service: last Friday night, my beloved Jack Rogers broke right on my feet. I stared down at my poor feet in shock and (tipsily) tweeted at Zappos that I was disappointed they’d broken. Their social team got back to me ASAP, and I had a new pair in my hands by Monday night and sent the other ones back. I then realized I had literally no other flat sandals since I wear nothing but Jacks all summer. Any suggestions for other flat sandals around that price range or less?

I’m super excited to get my blowout for Jordan’s wedding tomorrow. I usually go to DreamDry, but after reading all of Grace’s hair tutorials, I decided I needed to try her guy. “Hi, please give me Grace hair,” is what I intend on telling him.

I Went Paleo and Now I Hate Everything: Anne sent it to me yesterday, and it is HILARIOUS

I kind of feel like I need these temporary tattoos? We did flash tattoos in Puerto Rico, and they were a ridiculous amount of fun.

What are you lovin’ lately?

…because wait omg why am I quoting a Dave Matthews Band song 20 years later?! Whatever.

I’d been going through a bit of a rough patch for a bit (no reason, just a funk, which was even more frustrating), but I’ve been committing to finding the good in every day, and slowly, things are turning around.

I had a lovely weekend in Shelter Island over Memorial Day with girlfriends, followed by an impromptu “book club” several nights later. As I walked to the subway in the rain, I thought about how scared I was that I wouldn’t meet people when I moved here seven years ago, and how I have filled my life with such amazing, supportive people.

Yesterday, I went out to the National Tennis Center in Flushing to interview someone for a tennis piece I’m writing at work. As I walked through the empty center, both 16-year-old and 32-year-old Theodora geeked out a whole lot.

I got to work, and logged in to see the Cliffs of Moher, one of my favorite places in the world, on my Chrome home screen. (The plugin is Momentum.)

Then, my family booked a li’l family vacay for the end of the month, something we haven’t done forever because of business stuff with my dad.

AND my coworkers and I successfully pulled off a mini-wedding shower for our manager at work. My name is Theodora, and I am the queen of setting up fake meetings.

This morning, unfortunately, did not continue this streak of good luck. I woke up with a terrible stomach bug at 1am.

Bright side?

Not one to waste any kind of PTO, I worked from couch all day with my assistant Bailey by my side. Oof. I was real real happy to see 6pm roll around.

Then, tonight, I got news that I was selected for an important Junior League committee.

Saturday, I am so excited to watch Jordan get married. BRB searching for tissues now.

I’m also waiting for hopefully one more piece of good news this month, but so far, this month is lookin’ pretty good.

What’s good on the horizon for you?
