Glad Monday, girls. I am hoping the weekend handled you gently and gave you no less than one just right snicker—or on the very least, a work of chocolate.
My very own birthday final week used to be… let’s simply say, memorable. It all started with my bodily therapist operating me over (they name it “handbook remedy,” I name it sanctioned face-pummeling). I’m nonetheless faithfully scraping away with my gua sha within the hopes of loosening what appears like a jaw carved from granite. Upload in a washer that determined to flood the condominium, plus a few sudden circle of relatives well being curveballs, and the day felt rather less “Glad Birthday” and a bit of extra “Are you kidding me?”
However my circle of relatives rallied. They took me out, made me really feel celebrated, and sure—chocolate used to be concerned. That phase made the whole lot a little softer across the edges.
Fraxel and the “Muzzle”
I additionally had a Fraxel laser remedy final week. My dermatologist casually referred to the realm we’re treating as “my muzzle.” I just about snorted tea around the room. Technically, she’s now not mistaken—it’s the gap across the mouth—however nonetheless. Not anything like being in comparison to a schnauzer whilst mendacity underneath a laser.
We’re focused on sun elastosis, the solar harm from my carefree more youthful years when sunscreen used to be non-compulsory. The saving grace has been my daughter’s ice curler, which she assists in keeping tucked within the freezer. I’ve borrowed it so continuously it’s mainly mine now. In truth, it’s the one factor preserving my face from having a look like I spent the weekend in a boxing ring. Puffy? Completely. Shut-up able? Now not but.
House Adorning Adventures
In the meantime, adorning continues for my daughter’s house. She in any case selected a gorgeous chandelier she loves and a collection of handwoven rattan arm chairs with a Ecu cafe vibe… to pair with the vintage desk she discovered months in the past. Those chairs are stunning– a Danish/Eastern design from Sika that she has been keeping track of for some time. They cross rather well with this beautiful French vintage-inspired reflect she has had for a number of years. We’ve been musing so much about combine vintage and fashionable items so her house feels chic, fashionable, and simply eclectic sufficient to be attention-grabbing. I’d love your take—do you revel in mixing outdated with new, or do you like a unmarried taste carried all through an area?
The Canadian Tuxedo Debate
And in any case—outfit controversy. I wore denim on denim the opposite day. The whole Canadian tuxedo. Now, I in fact just like the glance. Executed smartly, I believe it feels polished and fashionable. However one thing about my model simply didn’t land, and I will’t reasonably put my finger on why.
Possibly the washes had been too shut, perhaps the proportions had been off—who is aware of. I’ve my suspicions, however I’d love to listen to yours. Do you put on double denim? And in case you do, what makes it give you the results you want?
Be fair, however please—be type.
What about you—did your week cling any surprises, large or small? And the place do you land on blending vintage with fashionable—or the Canadian tuxedo?
