‘Twas the week before Christmas!! We are giddy over here with excitement. I don’t even feel stressed at all, which usually this time of year turns me into a ball of anxiety. I’m really just happy and excited. Looking forward to cozy family time and squeezing in some last minute holiday magic.
Tried– and loved– a peppermint cold brew from Crew in Chatham!! |Varley sweater (c/o)
Here’s what was on my radar this week:
ONE // Winter Americana Capsule
This was one of my most clicked on links this year on my Instagram Story. I truly can’t get over how perfect this Winter Americana capsule collection is from Tuckernuck. The products look amazing and so does the imagery. It has me very excited for the 2026 Winter Olympics!!!! I bought this flag sweater and this striped one. Maybe they’ll be tapped to do the uniforms for 2030
TWO // “Becoming a Centenarian”
What a wonderful piece by Calvin Tomkins– and accompanying video on Instagram. I have always maintained that growing older is a gift and I thought this was such a wonderful way to document, and even commemorate, the passing of time. Longtime New Yorker writer, he spent the last year keeping a journal leading up to his 100th birthday. Maybe one of my favorite pieces from the past year.
THREE // Since I Became a Mother, All I Think About Is Time
Warning: do not watch this in public. You will cry. I didn’t exactly know what I was watching until a few seconds in. It’s one of the most beautiful and compelling spoken poems I’ve ever heard. I had tears welling up almost instantly. Taylor Rae Roman certainly has a gift for words.
FOUR // Waterproof Snow Boots
I read a report that we’re going to have a super snowy season this winter. I bought these snow boots and, wow, they are even better than I could have imagined. Truly like walking on clouds. Of course, days later we got our first snowstorm and I was able to put them to the test. They live up to the hype!!! They feel a little bit like sleeping bags for your feet– in the best way. My feet stayed dry and warm. I love how they cinch at the top to keep snow out.
FIVE // Kendall Jenner’s Mountain Home
Usually, I would say that my taste doesn’t quite align with anyone from Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but after seeing Kendall Jenner’s mountain home in Wyoming, I must revise that thought. Sometimes for features in AD, I can appreciate the design even if it’s not my specific style. Well in this case, not only do I love it… I want to move in. It’s perfect. Well done, Heidi Caillier.
