When it comes to decorating, large-scale wall art can be intimidating. This article is a helpful guide with some budget-friendly ideas.

My friend Jaana is sharing on her blog again. I love her writing, her outfit sharing, and her learning!

Have you ever wondered how to layer skincare? This post is super informative!

Kate Arends’ outfits always make me swoon. I love her mix of high/low and vintage. I think the horse jacket is my favorite. And I would have never thought to wear something like that in a million years.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone make Everlane look as cool as Jill Lansky does. Her blazer-layering game is top notch.

Everlane just released two new colors of their cotton quilted jacket. I already own this in green and ivory, but you can bet I was considering it in tan.

Did you guys see Esby’s new releases? I am excited to see the return of their Chelle top in three colors. And their birthday giveaway?!

You guys know I’m an AGOLDE junkie. I recently came across this super helpful review.

ABLE is making waves with the way they are doing business! They’ve lowered the prices of some of their most popular items (including jeans) AND starting this fall they are extending their sizing. You can read more in this post. As always you can use the code ANDREAHARTMAN25 to save 25%! My ABLE favorites are linked here.

And, if you’re looking for a new show to stream, we just finished Lupin, which was highly entertaining and fun to watch in its original French dialogue.
