I am totally suffering from Late Summer Ennui at the moment and while I know buying things is not a cure for the blues, I do enjoy looking at and/or using nice things and we have to find our enjoyments where we can, right? Sometimes it’s simply nice to shop for candles, or whatever. Just disassociate and buy a candle!!!!! (Put that on a tee shirt.)
Having said that: I actually did just get some new Hotel Lobby candles and they’ve extremely nice. I got the Positano one and I pretending I am in Italy. (I was VERY tempted by Poolside, but I am still working through the Vacation Well-Tipped Pool Boy candle, which I ALSO love.) If only I had these fancy matches to go with them. Or maybe you will be cheered up by notepads that read “Shit List” or “Noted” or “Quit Stalling.” What about these note cards with cats drawn on them? Or with tennis rackets? What about some fancy Italian soap?
Let’s see, what else has recently made me smile? I recently got these towels from Weezie to use when I take off my makeup, and they are so cute and charming. I have been using this facial exfoliator (you know how I love exfoliating!) and I REALLY like it; it feels so minty on! (I’m also still exfoliating the hell out of my heels with this.) I’ve been alternating the Biossance eye cream (which you all love) and the Korres eye gel roller ball on my eyes in the mornings and I think they look better but also this just feels nice, so there’s that. (I keep the roller ball in the fridge.) I got that rainbow bracelet from BaubleBar that you’ve seen on every other influencer on Instagram, possibly — it’s only $58! It is really cute and makes me happy to see on my wrist. (I am also considering these tiny earrings that look like catcher’s mitts.)
Here’s some other stuff that you definitely don’t need but which might make you happy? I cast a wide and possibly unhinged net. All you need to know is that at one point I was in an internet hole of (REALLY CUTE) throw pillows that look like sticks of butter and eventually wound up at an amazing Etsy shop where you can buy a LAMP that looks like a RETRO JELLO SALAD PLEASE SOMEONE BUY THIS. You don’t want that? (Weird.) What about SEXY FROG LAWN SCULPTURES? (I actually love them.)
Or something here:
YES that’s a clock with deviled eggs for the numbers. Also yes, technically that hot pink dresser isn’t a SMALL delight, but you know! I couldn’t resist.
