I know what you are going to say- crockpots are for cold weather meals like stews and chili. But I like to use mine year round, and this recipe was one of the first that I tried during the warmer months of the year (recommended to me by my friend Brooke). I am a sucker…

While binge-watching my favorite Netflix show, “Dead to Me,” I caught one of the main characters wearing a mid-length denim skirt. It took me back to my high school days when jean skirts were like a uniform for me. Hoping to find an updated version with a little more flair, I jumped online. So many…
Beach reads are here! Since we officially launch summer this weekend, I thought it would be the perfect time to post about books we can all enjoy by the beach, pool or patio. Some of these titles I have been anticipating for a while, like The Golden Hour by Beatriz Williams and The Chelsea Girls by…
Meet Me
Welcome to Whit & Whimsy- a lifestyle space I created to share my favorite books, beauty buys, fashion, and more. I post about trusted products I love, items I lust after, and treasures I give as gifts. Expect to hear about the latest thriller read, maxi dress, simple meal, and best new mascara-- and there will always be a touch of leopard print, and a monogram or two. I hope to connect with readers by offering inspiration and suggestions through content that is classic, chic, shoppable, and a bit whimsical.
