This week started out on a real high – Monday was an absolutely beautiful, sunny day, and I felt so reinvigorated and productive. But I can’t say the rest of the week has exactly followed suit – it has been a rough week socially and politically, with Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It’s hard to know what to do or say in these cases – I am just doing my best to listen and learn, and show support where I can.

On to the favorites.

Russia Invading Ukraine

I am so far from an expert about this situation, but I did want to share this NY Times podcast about it. I think it’s important to be informed, and to make sure you’re getting your news from legitimate, knowledgeable sites, too.

Floral Smocked Dress

This floral smocked dress is so cute! It looks so perfect for spring, and especially if you’re looking for something to wear on Easter. You could definitely add a wrap or cardigan if it’s chilly. The print is just so pretty!

LoveShackFancy x American Girl

I truly love all of the American Girl collaborations that are going on right now!! I’m looking forward to seeing the full collection of this LoveShackFancy x American Girl collaboration when it’s released next week, but the previews on Instagram are looking so good!!

Shopbop Sales

Shopbop has a LOT of things on sale right now – many are final sale, so you need to make sure you know your size, but the deals are really incredible. I especially love this floral print midi dress – the tie neck and open back are such fun little details, and it’s only $30!!

Change Cadet Action Network

I love following Akilah Cadet, aka Change Cadet on Instagram (and also THE Akilah of Nap Dress fame!). She recently launched the Change Cadet Action Network (CCAN), which is full of educational resources + community, all focused on being actively anti-racist. Check it out!!
