jewelry - wedding rings and sometimes a Manu paperclip necklace

Beauty Secrets:
Skin - Ren 
makeup - mascara and consealer but I recently started wearing lipstick on occasion and love Laura Mercier Truly Red

  1. This is the second time I've heard of this book (I think the first was on another post from here?)... Just added it to my wishlist.

    ...anything with the word "simplicity" catches my eyes these days :).

    A lovely list!

  2. What a great list! I am a dress gal too...especially in the summer. I swear by Laura Mercier red lip stain. I can make it as read as I want it to be. It's perfect any time of year.
    I love how you have the kiddo art taped to the walls...
    Best,
    Tina
