1. Mentioned in my first favorite things post, my new Warby Parker’s arrived and I’m in loooooove. Polarized. Comfortable. Cute! And Warby Parker gives a pair of glasses to those in need for every pair that is bought.
2. NSPottery has an adorable Etsy shop full of stoneware pottery and jewelry. Looking for a new statement necklace or a gift for the holidays–start here!
3. Another cute Etsy shop, Sweet Auburn Studio, has these gorgeous monogrammed leather bracelets.
4. Joss & Main really pulled through for me on this find. Similar to the trendy ‘puff chairs’, I was able to get this for a steal at nearly $150 off.

Favorite video
“Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.”
Favorite music
Icelandic Olafur Arnalds–a mix of piano, strings, and almost a haunting melody. Peaceful, slow, melodic. Watch him play. Watch him feel the music. It builds and builds. Beautiful. Goosebumps.
