Happy Friday & Attempting to Turn Off

Happy Friday! We’re currently in a cozy house in the Berkshires, enjoying some necessary family time. We’ve been cooking and trying to relax as much as possible, not something we’re normally that great at. Partly due to having a toddler (relaxing and toddler do not go hand-in-hand) and partly because we’re New Yorkers and not that great at just turning off.  Also, we struggle with feeling like we have to be busy at every single second, of every single day. So, personally, it’s something I have to constantly remind myself: “it’s okay to just sit here on the couch and read a book.” Anyone else have that problem?

Scary how good these celebrity Halloween costumes are!

I’ve been wearing these leather ankle boots on repeat this fall. Also, they’re on the pricier side, yet the quality is worth the investment (they run TTS)

This October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Mackage will be donating $100 to BCRF, from every ADALI-X and ADALI down coat sold.

You know what I realized, I never shared this video from our Carolina Herrera shoot. 

Contrary to popular belief, ‘cuffing season‘ is better spent being single than searching for a new relationship.

How 7 women found their financial confidence.

Whether vintage Chanel or not, I really do appreciate a good belt buy. For pairing with denim, I’ve been loving this one and this one.

How cute are these kids rooms!?

I’m all about staying warm in the winter, but this might be a bit too extreme

Oh and for those of you who don’t follow me on Instagram and only on the blog, we gave Nate a haircut. I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about it.

Heading home in a few! Hope you all have the best weekend!

xo,

Helena

    I do love these posts you have been doing lately with random bits and pieces of news which caught your eye! Those kids rooms are adorable – not typically kitschy like most kid rooms but just lovely! Gorgeous coat you are wearing – I have always loved Other Stories!

    Nate’s outfit is so cute

    I struggle with the same feeling of needing to be busy all the time and feel guilty when i relax and do nothing sometimes.
