Alongside my gold beaded bracelets, I wear 5 gold bangles. I started with 3 bangles about 15 years ago, acquiring more when I thought I had lost a few. My cousin searched the web trying to find similar ones, but couldn’t find the simple, thin, classic version. Since the online boutique where I first purchased…
Each time I write a Book Blast post I like to refer to my “Read Shelf” on Goodreads for inspiration. Some of my favorite books were published and read years ago–a couple when I was in college and one while on my honeymoon. Below is a selection of books that you will not find on…
I love this product! Actually, it is like 4 products in one (see bottom image). I decided to give it a try when I was purchasing products for my September 2018 profile post on Charlotte Tilbury (Product Profile: Charlotte Tilbury). She is the queen of dewy, glowing skin, so I figured it was worth a…

All of this snow and cold weather has got me dreaming of the warm spring to come. I jumped on Anthropologie (and a few more sites) to look for some wardrobe inspiration and found so many romantic ruffled clothing, shoes and accessories. Flirty dresses and sassy tops, all with a little whimsical detail. The soft…
Suspenseful thriller? Check. Complex characters? Check. Surprise ending? Check. Five stars? Check, check, check! I loved everything about this book: the troubled main characters, the twisting plotline, even the references to obscure Greek literature. From the very first page, I was impressed with Alex Michaelides’ writing style- descriptive, engaging, and almost seductive. I listened to…
The search for a simple white top resulted in this post. I got online to look for a cute short sleeve tee to wear casually under a blazer and I found so much more (in fact, I am planning on a future post featuring only white dresses–there are SO many good ones). I am ignoring…
New name, same bag: fanny packs are out, but belt bags are in again! Where were these cute belt bags last year when I was planning our family vacation to Universal Studios? All I wanted was a convenient small bag for my phone, credit card, and sunblock, but found nothing but cheesy versions of the…
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.
