The above picture was taken last weekend near our friends lake house. A weekly conversation that Keith and I have is about owning a property outside of the city.

We fantasize about owning a country home with good bones, that could use a little TLC and making it our own. We go back and forth on whether we’d want to make it an Airbnb to get some of our money back. This way, it turns into a business venture and a worthy investment. There are so many thoughts and conversations about it, but I’m confident that it will happen down the line. I’ve mentioned this several times, but as much as I love living in an urban city, getting out and away is necessary. Especially as we get older and especially with small children.

Weekend Musings, Dreams of a Country Home & New Closet Hangers…

This past week was filled with good links and a few new and repeat buys.

Just got these placemats and another set of this silverware. I was afraid they wouldn’t hold up in the dishwater, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised!

Our absolute favorite travel stroller is part of the big Nordstrom sale and is less than $500 when you get part of a great bundle. Typically, the stroller alone is $500 and rarely goes on sale so I felt the need to alert those who are in the market. This stroller is a splurge, but it really is the BEST! I’ve tried several (and we also own the Mountain Buggy) and I’d recommend this one in a heart beat. It’s incredibly comfortable to push around, the best for travel (yes, it folds up and can fit overhead) and is an extremely smooth ride. Especially if you’re pushing it around in urban cities.

Aside from the stroller, there were only a small handful of items that I thought were even worth mentioning: this skincare set from Sunday Riley, filled with some of their best items! This hair set from Oribe which has my favorite texturizing spray and their dry shampoo.

For a plaid blazer splurge, this one from Veronica Beard is a classic.

More Weekend Links

Slowly but surely, I’ve been swapping out all of my ugly closet hangers for these. Absolutely adore the bronze detailing, which immediately makes my entire closet look a wee bit fancier.

I got a pair of Keds to wear in Italy and while I debated whether they were me for a bit, I’m so glad I kept. They give me all the 80’s Dirty Dancing vibes and are so comfortable. I love how they look with breezy summer dresses or better yet, with cutoffs and a tank or tee, as Baby did it best.

Have a wonderful weekend!
