Oh, J.W. Anderson



I'm well hitched onto the Jonathan Anderson bandwagon and among the many in his fan club. He may be one of my favorite designers at the moment. The stuff is pricey, but not in the way that make your eyes bug out and has you wondering, who buys this shit?? When I paid a visit to The Apartment by The Line the other day, I couldn't help but walk away with this striped ruffle sleeve top (um, and a pair of nude suede loafers, but we'll save that for another day). It's just fun and totally different from anything in my wardrobe. I love the bell shaped sleeve as well. And don't even get me started on Loewe; I want ALL OF THE THINGS. I snatched up this clutch recently at the Loewe at Madrid Airport and am super happy with it.




Other details: rings by Kat Kim New York, necklace by Still House, lip gloss from NARS, shoes from Maryam Nassir Zadeh, denim from Madewell

If you're looking for some other options for a ruffle sleeve party, here are a variety:
- The same top as above but in pink!
- A nice casual version at a friendly price point.
- An off the shoulder option in the prettiest shade of nude/pink that I'm currently really digging.
- Hello to this fun mini dress with ruffle hems abound.
- I've been eying this tiered sleeve top – I hate that kind of tier on the main body, but love it on the sleeve.

Things finished ii



It's been a while since my first post in this series, but it's surprisingly hard to finish products when you're constantly trying new ones! But these above were all just finished in the last week or so. I just read The Nest on the plane back from a short trip in Italy – highly recommend. I loved the character development throughout and I got pretty instantly hooked on the story.

I also tend to use this Själ face mask after getting back from travels and am so sad to be out of it. It does exfoliate a bit (which I hear many mixed thoughts about these days) but it's still gentle and leaves my skin feeling much brighter and awake. The smell is nice too, which is always a bonus.

You may already know my love for the Tom Ford Brow Sculptor (as I mentioned it here in an old beauty essentials post). I've tried to scrape out as much as I possibly could, but now the tiny nubbin is just leaving crazy streaks across my brows. It's time for a new one.

And finally, I've squeezed the last drop from my First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream tube. I've also talked about this brand in my previous "things finished" post but I really am a fan of multiple products from their line. I kept this by the bedside and would use it at night for extra hydration.

I have to say, it's very satisfying to actually finish products. I think it's partially because now I get to move on to something new!

Breezy classics

I'm excited to be working with Eileen Fisher for Earth Day this year to share their ethos of eco-minded and socially conscious fashion. Their clothing is not only extremely comfortable (and in my preferred neutral hues), but their Spring collection is 80% sustainable. They also have a great section on the site titled "Behind the Label" where you can read about their sustainability initiatives and production practices.



Here I'm wearing the Sheer Silk Georgette top over the Washable Stretch Crepe pant.

And a bonus – if you take their Eco Quiz about your Earth Day Style, you may win a $1000 gift card. The quiz takes less than a minute of your time, so why not enter??
