What I'm Loving Lately!

Nontox Wonder Oven

6 ways to cook: Air fry, bake, roast, toast, broil, and reheat, all in one sleek and stylish countertop appliance! At a GREAT price for such a versatile workhorse that doesn't heat up your house!


The Effortless Crepette Short

In an elegant fabric that drapes beautifully, these are classy longer shorts that you can wear to lunch, to date night, to dinner with friends, work events and more.

I got the mid thigh version and they're shorter without being too short (in person they're longer than they seem on the photos on the model and I'm tall) You can dress them up with a pair of heels or strappy sandals.

Waist IMO runs true to size. I sized up based on reviews I read and had to send back and buy my normal size.
