Hello and happy Tuesday! Today’s post shares some recent purchases, including Christmas gifts for the kids!
Golden Goose sneakers
These sneakers are ridiculously pricey, even for being made in Italy – but they’ve been on my wish list for about a year and I finally decided to take the plunge when my size in the color combo I wanted was in stock.
I was told to go up a size or half size, so I went with a 41 (which, on the Shopbop website says converts to a 10.5 US size, but there is a notation that GG sneakers only come in whole sizes, so the conversion chart doesn’t make sense) and to be honest, they’re a smidgen too big (but with socks they feel great and are very comfortable). I’ve heard they’re a stiffer shoe and can take a few wears to break in, so I think going up the half size actually makes them perfect because I didn’t have any comfort issues at all. They have a built-in wedge that’s kind of cool. So far, I really like them and I get the hype. You can kind of wear them with anything.
Tweed Scarf
This scarf is like THE green tweed jacket, 2.0. I adore the color way and it makes such a statement! It’s on sale for $34.50 and makes a great gift as well – LOVE!
Revitabrow
I have thick eyebrows, but there are several sparse areas. I finally bought this serum to help grow and darken them. I’ve read some very convincing reviews and will share my results with y’all!
Drunk Elephant Framboos glycolic serum
I have used this serum on and off for a couple of years now. I just finished my Olay retinol cream and plan to alternate glycolic acid and retinol for maximum results.
Beach Art
I ordered a Miami Beach print from Claudia Chloe and can’t wait for it to arrive!
Welcome beads
I ordered these decorative beads for our new coffee table, which arrives Friday!
Hardware
We added this aged brass hardware to our master bathroom. I also ordered these acrylic and brass pulls for our game room cabinets.
Falalalala wrapping paper
How cute is this wrapping paper? I also got these ornaments from the same collection!
Kate Spade pine needles table cloth
I found the pine needles tablecloth I got at Homegoods online! Yay!
Rattan trash bins
I got these trash bins for the kid’s bathrooms. They have a plastic bin/liner.
Kids Christmas toys!
I thought I’d share some of the items we’ve purchased for the kids: rainbow scratch paper | scruff-a-love | doll clothes | diary | UNO game | geode kit | vtech watch | dinosaur mystery eggs | wooden stacking blocks | STEM construction toys | dinosaur LEGO | dragon LEGO | truck construction kit | Lite Brite| lucite tic-tac-t0e
We also ordered a bunch of new books!
Hope you have a great week!
Golden Goose sneakers don’t come in half sizes, you might need to check the authenticity
They were ordered directly from shopbop, I followed their size guide and ordered the size 41. I see now they only come in full sizes, but the size is listed as converting to a 10.5 US so I don’t know what is going on there.
I didn’t think Golden Goose sneakers came in 1/2 sizes? You may want to check your sizes.
A US 10.5 is listed on the shopbop website as a 41 in European sizes, so I assumed my sneakers were a 10.5 US: https://www.shopbop.com/superstar-sneakers-golden-goose/vp/v=1/1599893301.htm?folderID=5474&fm=other-shopbysize-viewall&os=false&colorId=15DEF#size-chart-section
I can’t believe our kids are old enough for watches and diaries! I’m in denial 😫
Please post/share the new books for the kiddos. I bought quite a few from your previous children book post and they were all total hits with my kids! Thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays!
