5 things I'm thinking about this week

I just had to google “what’s the opposite of daylight saving time?”. Standard time is only the time that more than 60% of the world uses. #facepalm
As I was leaving Sunday dinner last night, it dawned on me that this was the last time for awhile that I’ll be leaving in the dark. Six-thirty sunsets will soon become seven-thirty, and I’m excited to feel like I have more time in the day starting soon.
In case you’re (not) curious, I did not end up buying the necklace I had my eye on last week with my Jenny Bird coupon. I did stick with the mixed metals theme and picked up the 70’s Wave Hoops, above. They’re chunky, yet modern, and I love that you can choose between featuring gold or silver by switching up what ear you put them in. I’ve even seen Jenny herself wear them backwards, all these options make me pretty happy with my purchase.
Speaking of new things, here are 5 of them that I’m thinking about this week.
Onitsuka Tiger Shoes: I didn’t end up getting the Hoka’s I mentioned last week. The $10 shipping was a huge turnoff, and I found a pair of Nike’s on winter clearance from Dick’s that I splurged on. But speaking of sneakers, Meg Stratchan mentioned these Onituska ones in her Harper’s Bazaar profile, and consider me influenced. Given how quickly Adidas Samba’s are aging, these seem like the perfect, light summer sneaker. Now to choose, black or white?
Lancome Tonique Confort Re-Hydrating Comforting Toner: this has been on my vanity all winter, and I swear it’s one of the only things keeping my skin from drying out. A little goes a long way, this toner has a milky texture that instantly re-hydrates, without leaving skin icky, and I love that it’s alcohol-free. I pour a small drop in my hands and pat on my face, its the perfect start to my morning skincare routine.
Saarinen Dining Table: I am on an investment furniture buying freeze until I solidify a more permanent housing situation, but man if I had the space, I know exactly what I’d buy: a Saarinen Dining Table. I’ve been dreaming for years about one the smaller rounds in a sunny breakfast nook, or one of the oval shapes turning a formal dining room super modern. I blame DWR’s Semi-Annual Sale for reminding me of my wanderlust, they’re even offering free shipping! Someday….
West Elm Beatrix Table Lamp: while I can’t( won’t) splurge on furniture right now, I can continue to refine my entry way console and purchase decor and I think this lamp might make the shortlist. It’s footprint is super small, and I love how a super traditional linen shade looks modern with its smaller shape juxtaposed with the lamps slim profile. The height is perfect too, it’s tall enough to balance out a large piece of artwork on the other side of the console.
ela x Sasha Exeter Frame Clutch: ever since this collab dropped I’ve been eyeing this clutch. I love how oversized it is, it’s perfect. I don’t think I’d carry this with the shoulder strap, but love the option, instead I’m obsessed with the hinge and how much stuff this can hold. Even better? This is a Canadian brand and I love to buy Canadian whenever I can.
