5 things I'm thinking about this week
Alison Pegg
Well, the cold that won’t end, really just won’t end.
While my voice has recovered, it’s been two weeks now since I’ve had hearing in my left ear and I’m kind of over it. Musicians, newscasters, even my coworkers - everyone sounds like they’re a member of Alvin and the Chipmunks to me right now. Funny, but not funny?
Here’s hoping my continued cocktail of Claritin and Flonase eventually does clear up my ears and restores everyone’s real voices. In the meantime, here are 5 things I’m thinking about this week.
Springtime Jazz: spring has definitely sprung around here, the grass is green, the flowers are up and nature is just singing. For some reason, the soundtrack to spring for me is jazz, its uplifting and energetic, just like the season is. This playlist and this album are on repeat for me.
Shinola Mackinac Lanterns: I had an unfortunate shopping experience with Shinola this week, the desk clock I ordered was missing the stand and is now sold out. As I was searching for a replacement I came across these lanterns and love how they’re a mix of Japanese and Americana design. They’d look perfect on my back patio now that the weather is warming up.
Clare V Trop Bebe bag: call me old-school, or even cool (?) but my favourite headphones for my daily walks and around town are my wired ear pods. I do wish they came with a case though, most of the time their buried in a ball at the bottom of my purse. Wouldn’t this little case be perfect to keep them organized?
Cuyana Leather AirPods Case: while technically this case is for airpods, I totally think it could also help me corral my earpods. It’s not as whimsical as the Clare V, but I do love the longer strap so I can anchor it to my purse so it doesn’t sink to the bottom.
COS mock-neck maxi tshirt dress: I wrote about this dress last week in regards to the COS sale, and I’m regretting I didn’t purchase it at 25% off. While I have no need for another black dress, I love the maxi length, the short sleeve, and the mock neck of this style, it would be so easy to style with sneakers for the weekend, or ballet flats for the office and/or a night out.
