Monday Missive: May 16
We were together over the weekend, with Dinah visiting Eloise in Maryland! It was a jam-packed few days of lacrosse games, shopping adventures, photo shoots, fun meals out and wedding planning. Being together always inspires us both so much - we went over our 2022 goals and the progress we are making, planned content and parties and reset our wellness. With summer just around the corner, it was so nice to have a few days just with each other to talk about all of the things we are looking forward to.
What We’re Reading and Watching
The second season of Bling Empire just came out and I’m into it! Does anything really happen on the show? It doesn’t seem like it but I love the outfits and the personalities and the rivalry between Anna and Christine. -E
I just started reading A Very Nice Girl by Imogen Crimp, which is about a young opera student in London who starts dating a rich and sophisticated older man. I really like it so far, and am not sure where it’s going! - D
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is back and it started off with a literal bang when the first episode gets right into the robbery at Dorit’s. It was the most actual emotion I have ever seen from her before and the last scene where she’s sitting on the bench was haunting. We also get a lot of Erika and Sutton-these ladies might be bitter enemies but I have to admit that they are equally mysterious to me-their reactions are so off to me. They seem to always take a hard left when the normal reaction would be to turn right. -E
While I was staying with Eloise I read her copy of The Body Reset Diet, by Harley Pasternak. I loved his recent interview on The Blonde Files podcast and was excited to hear more about his methodology. It inspired me to have smoothies for lunch this week and really focus on my daily steps! - D
Did you read the profile of Hill House Home founder Nell Diamond in New York Magazine? It was such a fun mix of takedown and reluctant admiration. -E
What We’re Buying
I got a raffia headband and a stretchy raffia belt from Target and am really excited about them. I also bought this hat, which the girls said made me look like an explorer, but I think will be perfect for gardening or the boat. -E
I was influenced by Eloise this week and bought the cute raffia flats from Target that she posted on Instagram! I also really liked these heels, and these super cute basket weave totes. - D
I’ve been using Revitalash for the past two week and I can already see the difference in my lashes. -E
This Old Navy dress from my post last week came and it’s definitely a keeper.-E
The blue and white dress from the cover shot on this post is so comfortable and it comes in all different materials and colors. -E
What We’re Making
Trying these healthy burger bowls with sweet potato fries tonight and feeling very excited about it. -E
The girls and I are also so into the Kodiak Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix and have been having them for breakfast every day lately. I linked to them on Amazon so you could see them, but I usually just grab a box at the grocery store. -E
