Recent Purchases…

Happy Saturday! Today I thought it would be fun to share some recent purchases. The first three are from Aritzia, one of my favorite stores in Toronto. I believe they have several stores in the U.S. now (including one in Dallas), but they also offer shipping in the U.S. now so if you haven’t shopped there before, I highly recommend it. In fact, my most beloved blazer EVER (the talula exeter blazer) is from Artizia and I haven’t found a blazer that fits better!


The first item I ordered was this Wilfred scarf. One of my best friends from back home, Heather, texted me a photo of herself wearing it and I couldn’t resist. It is a little pricey at $85— however, it’s HUGE. It’s called a blanket scarf because it literally could be used as a blanket, and to be honest, I would probably use it as one if it fit the room well. For now, I love just draping it over my shoulders, especially when it’s cold at the office. I will post pics soon. I wore it recently over a black dress and got a lot of compliments on it. It’s so soft and cozy.

We visited the Houston Premium Outlets today on our way home from a play date, and I picked up a few things for Harper and me.


First are these adorable boots from the Baby Gap outlet. As adorable as they are, when I put them on Harper, she refuses to even stand in them and cries until I take them off. So…if anyone needs size six boots, let me know. Ha. I will try them with socks or tights on to see if she will wear them that way, but I am not optimistic. And to think, she smiled happily when I asked her if she liked them at the store.

These hats were an online buy when Baby Gap has a 40% off promo. I may not keep the gray one because it fits a little weird on Harper, but goodness it’s cute! I also love this one and this one, and may search for them in-store.

Back to Baby Gap outlet fun— I picked up these PJ’s and a leopard-print tunic sweater. It’s going to be so cute with leggings as the weather cools down.

After Baby Gap, I went to the J.Crew Factory store. I wanted to check out their kids stuff, but they barely had any items in the two year old size. I did pick up this merino charley sweater in vibrant fuschia— which I swear is not really this pink in real life— it’s more of a true magenta. 

I also picked up these flannel PJ pants…I couldn’t resist the holiday-inspired pattern…

Lastly, I got a pair of gigi pants in velvet dot for Harper. I absolutely love them on her! I got the 2T and they’re a perfect fit. They have little faux front pockets and the pattern is so cute.
