Whenever I need a little retail therapy, I head to Shopbop, where a good sale is always happening- like the one going on right now, their fall Style Event. An added incentive with this sale is that the more you spend, the more you save, and if you have Amazon Prime, you get free shipping…

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.
