Things I’ve Been Loving Lately
my current obsessions
NYC things
MJ the Musical
My sister and I saw MJ the Musical a few weeks ago, and we were blown away. We went in knowing nothing about it, so our expectations were low — which made it even more fun to be so impressed. We can’t stop talking about how fantastic it was. The actors were incredibly talented, the songs were great, and we were genuinely sad when it ended.
Haswell Greens
There’s also a really fun bar next door called Haswell Green’s that I highly recommend. They have live music seven nights a week, and every time I’ve gone, the bands have been great
Zero Otto Nove
We tried this restaurant with the family for the first time a few weeks ago. The food wasn’t life-changing, but the vibes were good — and it’s always fun to try somewhere new.
La Pecora Bianca
My sister and I ate here before the show. The food is very good (again, not life-changing), but I honestly love it for the convenience. It’s right up the block from Grand Central, so it’s easy to walk to as soon as you get off the train. They have pizzas and it seems kid-friendly, so I definitely want to bring my kids next time we’re in the city.
Cozy things & wardrobe staples
Barefoot Dreams
Barefoot Dreams recently gifted me a robe and blanket, and they are so comfortable. My mother-in-law gave me my first Barefoot Dreams blanket years ago, and we used to fight over it. Their pieces are such high quality and make perfect gifts.
L.L.Bean slippers
I’ve worn these slippers for years and finally decided I needed a new pair. They’re incredibly well made and perfect for winter. I got my daughters pairs for Christmas, and they’re both obsessed.
Ray-Bans
I bought my husband sunglasses for Valentine’s Day, and Sunglass Hut was running a BOGO deal — so I treated myself to a pair of Ray-Bans. I love getting new sunglasses before summer, and I’m so excited for these.
Home things
Jewelry box
My sister got me this for Christmas and I love it. It’s huge, so everything stays organized, and it looks so pretty on my dresser.
Ruggable
We moved three months ago and I’m slowly decorating the house. I’m trying not to rush the process, but when Ruggable reached out, I was so excited to pick a rug for our entryway. We bought an old house, so it’s definitely not open concept. The rug looks so cute — I can’t wait to add more throughout the house.
Lola blanket
I kept seeing Lola Blankets all over Instagram and didn’t understand the hype. After sleeping with one for a week, I’m completely obsessed. It’s so comfortable that one of my daughters steals it off my bed to use in her room during the day.
Sconces
I’ve been obsessed with sconces lately. My entire Pinterest feed is vintage-inspired rooms with beautiful lighting, and it finally got to me. I ordered a set for the living room, loved them, and immediately ordered a similar set for my daughter’s room.
Gallery wall
I’ve been collecting prints for years but never had the right place for them in our old house. When we moved, I knew I wanted to fill the playroom with them. I love how it turned out and can’t wait to keep adding to the collection.
→I love inciardi prints!
Kitchen favorites
Stasher bags
I’ve been using these for years and had to include them. They’re perfect for meal prep, food storage, and packing my kids’ snacks.

Mason Cash bowl
I spotted this at Sur La Table and decided I needed a cute bowl for making sourdough. It’s as functional as it is pretty.
Vegan at Times
My sister and I eat lunch together most days, and we love cooking from this cookbook. The recipes are always easy, healthy, and delicious.
Things my 25 year old sister has been loving
TV & Movies:
I watch a lottt more tv then my sister and these are my current obsessions:
Tell Me Lies: This was so fun to watch. Every Tuesday, my best friend and I would sit in the living room, and it was something to look forward to every week. I love watching a show everyone is watching and getting on social media to see everyone’s opinions and takes. If you watched, let me know your opinions.
Traitors: I’ve never seen any other season of The Traitors, but I kept seeing it all over social media and wanted to give it a shot. I’m usually not that into reality TV, but this feels more like a game show to me, and I find it really fun. It’s another show my roommate and I watch together on Thursday nights, and I look forward to it all week.
Game of Thrones: I am on season 4 of Game of Thrones and I am really enjoying it!
The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: I watched this whole show in one day and I am obsessed. It takes place a century before the Game of Thrones world. The last episode is coming out Sunday and I’m really excited.
Movies
Hamnet: This movie personally wasn’t for me. Everyone has been loving this movie and I was really pumped to go see it! I love going to the movies so even if I don’t love the movie it is still a treat.
Wuthering Heights: I reallllyyy enjoyed the first half of this movie! It was romantic and had all the yearning I love but there was something I didn’t love about the second half.
Eternity: This was a 10/10 for me! I loved the premise and coudln’t stop crying at the end of this movie!
Before seeing Wuthering Heights my boyfriend and I got a bite to eat at Giulietta! I loved the vibe of this restaurant and all the decor!
My recent favorites
I am trying to get into jewelry so my sister gave me this Tiffany watch that my mom gave her years ago! I love silver so this is now a staple for me and when I’m going out I love wearing this Dorsey bracelet! Dorsey Bracelet
My sister got me this mug for Christmas and I think it’s the cutest mug! I love the shape and drinking my morning tea or coffee out of it! I think it would make a great gift for a long distance friend! mug link
Book
I’m currently reading ‘Theo of Golden’ and really enjoying it! I love reading but I have been in such a rut lately so I’m hoping this book takes me out of it!
Let me know anything you have been loving lately!
