I spent a good amount of the weekend relaxing and recuperating from traveling (and eating so much) the week before. It was rainy, which set the mood for a cozy weekend. Nothing too much to report, except that I’ve been stepping up my yoga game. I went four days in a row and felt like I’m slowly but surely getting my flexibility and strength back. Aka walking up stairs right now is a challenge.
Here’s what has been on my radar this week:
ONE // New Balance x J. Crew
WOW! What a collaboration. It’s perfect. I love how the collection is sporty and strong but still has that J. Crew touch. Bravo J. Crew and New Balance!!!
TWO // Mini Chip and Jo
My favorite tv couple (Chip and Jo, of course) in miniature form!!! I can’t handle it; cuteness overload. Also, have you guys noticed that Chip and Joanna are building out their brand in so many directions?! This week alone I saw announcements for a children’s clothing line and a new magazine! Killing the game!!
THREE // Generation Adderall
I can only speak from my experience at Georgetown, but Adderall seemed to be a huge problem there. It drove me crazy because I felt like people who were taking it (without a legitimate prescription) had an unfair advantage. And it was thrown around so casually like it wasn’t a big deal. (I also have friends who experienced more problems with Adderall, among other “performance” drugs, in their career, too.) I found this article to show a realistic, and scary, portrayal of Adderall when it goes too far.
FOUR // Roald Dahl x Boden Collection
This collaboration simultaneously makes me wish I had a kid or was a kid myself. What amazing portrayals of some of my favorite childhood books and characters in clothes. I’ve sent it to a few of my friends with children already, haha!
FIVE // Scalloped Mary-Jane Heels
These heels are gorgeous. They come in three colors and are pretty reasonably priced. Plus the scalloped details are everything. I can’t pick a favorite, but love that they could work for weekend wear and an office-appropriate work.
OMG! The Mini Chip and Jo was so cute! I actually just recently got into their show. They really are the cutest couple! I wanted to ask you, do you know of any good pumpkin/apple picking farms on Long Island? I can’t seem to find one.
Loving the New Balance x J Crew windbreaker! // omgg the Roald Dahl x Boden Collection! I wish they had those for adults! I’m in love with the Matilda dress and BFG Dream-Catching Cape Coat! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
Those shoes are gorgeous! I really need to step up my fitness game! Sophie x

Oh my goodness! That collection makes me wish I had kids, the fox overalls are just too cute! Love the scalloped heels also, stunning!
The Roald Dahl Collection is so cute!
Today must be the day for pumpkin patch photos–great minds! I love the New Balance collab, and omg all the kid things. 🙂

Carly, I couldn’t stop reading the Generation Adderall article. I also remember the very casual use of Adderall at the college I attended, so glad I never participated! Thank you for always having such a nice mix of topics on your radar!

Thank you so much for linking the “Generation Adderall” article! I am a pharmacy student and one of our school’s organizations just started a new initiative called Generation Rx to combat this exact problem. It is an educational program that increases public awareness of prescription medication abuse. It really is a huge problem right now that too many college students take too casually. I knew so many people in college that took it without realizing the dangerous effects it can have and I hope that bringing awareness to the issue will help change the culture!
Those heels are so cute! I love them!
Xo, Kelsey

Hi! I was just wondering about the Mary Jane Heels. Do they run true to size or should I go up or down a size? They are so cute!!
I just wanted to let you know that I look forward to these posts every week! I always love reading them:)
