Hi! Hello!
Happy Thursday to you. We’ve had a very low-key week around here, lots of little things that are exciting to just us, ha! I got to visit with my grandmother, we rounded up all the little cousins for a day of fun, and our new sunroom sofa was FINALLY delivered (more on that soon) and has already become everyone’s favorite hangout spot. We also made cottage cheese pancakes covered in “snow” (powdered sugar), and mastered a new coffee drink called the “coco americano” that we’ve been making on repeat. Simple and sweet.
With the last few weeks of summer winding down, I’m trying to squeeze in a few more fun things, a trip to the splash pad, and definitely tickets to the new Paw Patrol movie!
Nothing too exciting to report, but honestly, it’s kind of nice. I hope you’re having a lovely week! Now, let’s get into it…
A handful of random things you need to know about →
🍪 - I fell down the rabbit hole of cute teddy bear cookies on Pinterest and ended up here. Looks like I’ll be firing up the oven.
🧺 - You know I love a good quilt for movie nights, picnics, and forts… this one has my name all over it. (On sale right now, too!)
👚 - I keep coming back to this top, so I finally just ordered it — because honestly, nothing has ever been more me. Comes in navy, too! Love how it’s styled with my favorite summer shorts.
✍️ - Wrote this on Tuesday about the word delight, motherhood, and that imaginary list no one is grading.
💄 - Have you gotten the lip combo I keep RAVING about yet?? You guys, the two together is legit. You have to try it!
🍎 - August is RIIIIGHT around the corner all of my favorite back-to-school finds in a Substack post in case you need some help! Plus a breakdown of everything here. And if you need a fun teacher gift, just wait until you see THIS.
👜 - This delicious handbag is living rent free in my head… I am waiting not-so-patiently for it!! Honestly, it’s the best idea, borrowing a bag to complete an outfit and try it out. If you use code ASHLEYBROOKE your first month is absolutely free here!
The Sweetest Little Tote - This fabric storage tote is under $20 and just too cute to pass up. I can already picture it filled with a bottle of wine, a loaf of homemade sourdough, and a favorite book. The perfect little gift basket for teachers, neighbors, or a friend who could use a little pick-me-up.
Restaurant Survival Kit - These hard-sided zipper pencil cases have become one of my favorite mom hacks. I keep one for each kid stocked with crayons, stickers, and little toys for restaurants, appointments, or anywhere we’re waiting. They’re also perfect for back-to-school supplies.
The Cutest Undies - I was recently served these little pointelle boy-short undies and immediately fell down the rabbit hole. Somehow this brand was completely new to me, but everything they make is absolutely adorable.
Currently in My Cart - This necklace has officially earned a spot in my cart. I adore the colors and think it would add the prettiest pop to any outfit, especially paired with my favorite white button-down. (And under $100!)
The Algorithm Wins - These ruched lampshades keep finding me, and honestly, it’s working. I’ve clicked on them so many times that I think I just need to order a couple already.
Classic Forever - I’ve been waiting all summer for this yellow and cream striped sweater to come back in stock. It’s timeless, chic, and would be just as cute thrown over your shoulders after a beach day as it will be with denim this fall.
A Darling Gift - These clear coated monogrammed cosmetic cases are so beautiful. They’d make the sweetest back-to-school or college gift, and I love anything that feels a little personal.
Sprinkles on Everything - I just stocked up on four more containers of our favorite dye-free sprinkles because we genuinely use them on everything. Yogurt, pancakes, oatmeal... hands down one of my favorite $6 purchases.
Never Skip Zara Home - Zara Home continues to have some of the prettiest entertaining pieces. This wavy shell serving dish and the shell linen coasters are both absolutely beautiful and would make such lovely hostess gifts.
For the Pillow Lovers - If you appreciate a truly beautiful pillow, you have to browse this Etsy shop. They are creating some incredibly charming pieces that instantly make a room feel collected and special.
A Set Worth Having - I’m obsessed with this Tuckernuck striped top and pant set. Matching sets are always such a smart buy because you can wear them together or style each piece separately, and this colorway feels so fresh.
BONUS: A Fun Etsy Find - This rug has been popping up for me nonstop, and I completely understand why. I love the color palette, the vintage feel, and the price is surprisingly great.
I’m keeping things as updated as possible over on my ShopMy and LTK! And if you are looking for links (including paint colors!) for our home, I have them all listed here.
So grateful for our brand partners and their generosity, enjoy!
