Worth Noting Vol. 8

An unexpected Valentine's Day chocolate recco, a supersoft sweater, and more

Hello, hello. I’m not sure where you’re located, but over on the East Coast it’s been a week of sleet, snow, freezing temperatures, and frayed nerves. After spending a solid 3 hours chipping and shoveling my frozen driveway, only for it to be filled with snow once more, I’m leveraging this platform as an escapist outlet. For obvious reasons: I have my mind on spring-y things. I hope you enjoy this little group of finds. As always everything is linked together here. Pay special attention to number 4, you won’t regret it… yum!

01.
I made a rare and random trip to Target this week to grab some much-needed supplies prior to our second winter storm of the week here in North Carolina. Once there, I can never resist browsing the Threshold home section, and snagged this $25 pillow for the porch. It’s beautiful and has a nice weighty filling.

02.
We use AEYDE shoes a lot for styling at my job. They are beautifully made with classic shapes, and are great quality. I think these square toe slingback flats are gorgeous. For, ya know, when it stops snowing.

03.
My friend Loren has some gorgeous new arrivals. I love these earrings and this necklace. I find myself gravitating towards this robins egg blue a lot lately. Maybe it’s the south.

04.
If you’re seeking a new take on Valentine’s Day chocolates, look no further than Detroit-based Bon Bon Bon, which is known for its unusual but delightful flavor combinations packaged in bite-size uniform chocolate shell boxes. Carrot Cake Crème Brûlée. Champagne Toast. Candied Citrus Panettone Ganache. Okay! I highly recommend. (P.S. They have a dedicated V-Day Collection.)

05.
Do I need another purse? Probably not. But this pale jade shoulder bag very cute, I love the color, plus it’s a great size for evenings out.

06.
I’m slowing switching my dishes over to East Fork pottery. I love the look and weight of them (plus, they’re from North Carolina!) They’re having a sale, and I’m finally going to snag this set of Everyday Bowls. They’re a perfect size shape for portions of salads, rice bowls, pasta… basically anything.

07.
My aunt is an amazing artist. If you follow me on IG you probably know that because I post about her work quite a bit, and have a few pieces in my own home. Almost every month she adds new original pieces. I love this lavender field landscape. The colors!

08.
My grandmother taught me the secret to keeping faux flowers around. I buy cut flowers from Trader Joe’s whenever possible, but in a pinch the undying options add life (ha) to a room. And these Hyacinths! So pretty.

09.
I have a brushed cashmere sweater in navy from J.Crew last year. This minty green option may need to join the gang… It’s so, so soft, with the added bonus of being a bit of a 90s throwback.

Enjoy!
