It’s been about a month since we last chit chatted here. Hi! It’s so great to be back in this little cozy internet corner. Here are a few things on my mind as of late.
1. I made some serious progress on my elimination plan — 2222 items gone by end of year. I’m a little over 1100 as of this morning (nothing like a power hour at 5 a.m.). Look, empty cupboards! I removed these shelves! I gave things back to people!
2. Duality is real. Even though I’m deeply obsessed with minimalism, I decided I want to have a few areas of concentrated maximalism and I want you to know the categories I’ve decided to be extremely good at collecting:
Sneakers — I want all the brands, all the colors. Just snagged these and this is what really kicked off this thought process.
Crew neck tees & sweaters — I like crew necks, always have. Preferably solid colors or stripes like this one I just got in Chicago last week. My absolute favorite brand is Perfect White Tee from Marnē.
Mugs — I decided I want funky, spunky mugs. Bright yellow, prints, interesting shapes, weird handles.
Socks — There is no need to limit sock counts ever, I will continue to grab Baggu, Le Bon Shoppe socks frequently (also at Marne).
Dresses — I ebb and flow here, mostly because it’s winter I’m not in a “collecting” mindset but I have a wide range of dresses and plan to continue this.
3. November is apparently when I find all my best energy and motivation… maybe because it’s my birth month?! I am beyond thrilled with my cutesy, whimsical mantel this year!!!
