Happy weekend! I am getting excited about fall so I decided to do a little browsing. I found myself at the Gap after seeing this sweater on an Instagram post. I was pleasantly surprised to see how updated it all looked– so many stylish pieces at great prices. There are great wear-now items and goodies…

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.
