Stacking bracelets are all the rage, and I am joining the club. Below are some favorite gold bracelets, charms and some that are considered both a bracelet and a charm!
Hair Help
· Game changers for hair care ·
Below are my favorite hairstyling tools and products: a hairdryer, a root rescue product, styling mousse, and a supplement that helps keep hair healthy. Let’s talk hairdryer. I have never been able to make my own hair look as good as it does fresh from the salon. Until now. This styling hairdryer smooths, styles,…
Product Profile
· Milk Makeup ·
This relatively new makeup line is so fresh and fun, you might call it whimsical! I have tried quite a few of their products and love them all, especially the Kush Mascara $24. New mascaras are hard for me to find because I am very particular about the applicator brush. Milk calls the Kush brush…
Bespoke Backgammon
· Beautiful one-of-a-kind painted boards ·

Coveted Clutch
· The Cult Gaia Ark handbag ·
I love these Cult Gaia Ark handbags. I already own the natural bamboo one, so I have my eye on one of these super chic acrylic versions. The blue one will go with everything in my closet– but, I’m drooling over the two patterned styles as well– multi-hued option or the solid tortoiseshell? I am sure to…
Rethinking Rosé
· Some summer favorites to try ·
Summer for me means the beach, road trips, my birthday…and rosé. After weeks of creating this blog and writing these posts, it’s finally time to celebrate the launch of WHIT & WHIMSY (plus, it’s my birthday this weekend). Naturally, I will be toasting with a big glass of my new favorite bottle of rosé. I…
