Dudes, is it just me or has it been the LONGEST week ever. I posted something about it on instagram and it seems like EVERYONE was feeling the same way. But we’ve made it to Friday, woot woot!
I’ve got a somewhat low-key weekend planned:
The live recording of Falsettos on Broadway is airing on PBS tonight. I could not be MORE excited. Saturday night I’m seeing Tiny Beautiful Things at The Public with my parents. It’s based based on Cheryl Strayed’s advice column Dear Sugar. Should be good!
Here are some of my favorite from the week. Would love to hear what you’ve been loving too in the comments!
These Are a Few Of My Favorite Things // Vol. 3
▶︎ Autumn High-Waist Moto Ankle Leggings from Zella [Nordstrom]
Oh my god do I love these high-waisted leggings from Nordstrom’s Zella. For starters, high-waisted leggings are always a win in my book. And two I feel pretty athleisure chic. This is my idea of business casual 😂
Serious question: Am I cool enough to pull them off? My opinion is maybe but let’s pretend I am.
▶︎ Leading a Holistic Happening event at Paragon this morning.
As I mentioned above, I’ve been in a meh mood all week. Just a mixture of tired and mopey weather. This morning my company Holistic Happening lead an event at Paragon. Leslie started with some reiki and then I taught yoga. It just left me in the best mood. Such a treat to get to teach events like this.
Shameless self plug: Holistic Happening has some pretty sweet events coming up, if I do say so myself. Next week’s salty yoga event is sold out BUT we’re hosting another salty yoga event at Breathe Salt Room December 6th. More info here.
We’re also hosting our second annual #HolisticGiving Thanksgiving feast. 45 minutes of yoga followed by a gluten-free, dairy-free Thanksgiving dinner. More info here.
▶︎ Toothpick Jeans from J.Crew.
Can we all agree shopping for jeans is the worst? I always find that when I’m NOT looking for them, I stumble upon the most perfect pair. While shopping at J.Crew a few weeks back I tried on a pair of their toothpick skinny jeans in the lyric wash and fell in love. But at 5’2″ they were WAY too long for my shrimpy legs.
I ordered them in petite and they are PERFECT. So freaking comfortable and flattering. I plan on buying them in like 3 other washes this weekend.
▶︎ Nona Lim Tomato Thai Basil
It’s like yummy, homemade tomato soup on the go. And without all the weird crap that is in canned soup. I came across this heat-and-sip cup from Nona Lim at Whole Foods. All you gotta do is microwave it for 90 seconds and you’re good to go. Now that the weather is getting slightly chillier, it hits the spot as an afternoon snack.
▶︎ Dinner at Margaux.
I’ve been craving squid ink pasta. A weirdly specific craving, I know.
While perusing around Yelp I saw that Margaux nearby served squid ink pasta with lobster. Yes please. It was SO good. Jeremy ordered steak and we both loved our meal. It’s a bit more pricey than our usual dinner spots, though.
▶︎ A fresh manicure.
Ah, such a simple joy. My hair might look like crap 99% of the time, but I try to keep my nails on fleek at all times. I’ve been getting gel powder manicures after being a gel devotee for 7+ years. I’d say I like powder but don’t LOVE it yet.
Pro:
- manicure definitely lasts longer
- it’s super rare to chip a nail
Con:
- the process takes FOREVER.
- it’s pricier than gel
- sometimes my nails hurt afterwards
- the color selection is meh. Meaning there’s no turquoise that feels “on brand”. I hate myself for even saying that.
▶︎ Rupaul’s Drag Race Werk the Runway Tour
Last night I went to see a bunch of queens from Rupaul’s Drag Race perform. It was everything. I could just watch Bob the Drag Queen make fun of people ALL day long, she’s hilarious.
Also, Season 3 of Allstars is gonna be AMAZING.

1) you 100% look cool in those leggings – especially with those sneakers & that leather jacket!!! and 2) i haven’t even heard of powder gel manis before?! that blue color is gorg!
have a great weekend 🙂
1. Oh thank you 🙈 I have a feeling I’m going to LIVE in this outfit all winter long. I’m obsessed
2. I feel like powder gel manis are just starting to pick up some steam — a few people have recently told me about them when I complimented their nails. I’m not 100% sold yet, but they’ve been lasting longer than regular gel.
