This week’s Friday Faves showcases items from future posts: Pearls, Lip Balms, White Dresses, and more! Warmer weather has me with some serious spring fever and my posts will all reflect the change in season and mindset. For the summer, I round up some great straw totes and white sandals. For the beauty junkie I…
I don’t know about you, but come spring, I need a jean refresh. The few pairs that I rotate between during the winter are fine, but a new pair (or two) is usually called for. Last spring I tried the distressed look with my Agolde Wilder pair (splurge buy at $198), and this time I…
A simple search for a cute mirror resulted in this post (as many shopping searches do). I was distracted by the many items that didn’t resemble the Ballard Designs I thought I knew (the catalogs usually get recycled right away).

You need 3 ingredients for the main dish and I served it with a salad and rice. Even my teen who “doesn’t like chicken, how many times…
Our winter break is coming to an end, but this huge sale at Old Navy is keeping me distracted and a little less bummed. I like Old Navy for soft tees, trend denim and unicorn finds like this drawstring cotton dress for only $25 (and it’s not the only thing giving me Ulla Johnson vibes-…

Welcome to Whit & Whimsy- a lifestyle space I created to share my favorite books, beauty buys, fashion, and more.
