Recent Purchases | Amazon & Other’s


Admittedly shopping hasn’t been as much fun for clothes recently, but accessories are another story. I’ve managed to pick up some things for transitioning into fall and we also have bought a few things for the house.   


These Ann Taylor prong flower studs in rose goldare seriously so perfect for every day wear. They are currently $19.99 with an extra 60% off making them…$8.00!  


I shared on IG Stories that I recently startedjade rolling and while I have to be honest and say I’m not sure I’ve seen any results yet, I do love how it feels to use the roller in the morning and night – especially when it’s cooled in the fridge. It does help your serums and creams sink into the skin more.



My Nordstrom purchases came in and I’m really happy with the few things I got. I decided to ditch the larger hats for fall and opted for this corduroy baker boy hat in a really pretty olive. I love the detailing on the front and can’t wait to wear it. I also restocked on one pair of Zella leggings – I have the crop version but decided to do the longer one since I’ll be home during the fall. Finally this reversible scarf by BP is probably going to be my most worn item once it cools off. I love both of the patterns and it’s going to look great with my trench coat. 



Mark this under a very random purchase – a multipurpose cake stand that we’re using as a fruit bowl. You can use it cake stand, punch bowl, salad bowl or dip tray – and in our case a fruit bowl. Fruit flies this year have been out of control and we keep bananas & avocado’s out so we needed a fix. So far it’s sleek on the counter and keeping little flies away! 


It’s no secret I’m pretty obsessed with pens and stationary items, I saw these Pilot Frixion Erasable Markers  and they are perfect if you like to write in planners with pens / markers but are afraid to make mistakes, which I do, so these are great!


I can’t wait to share the full nursery with you all, but one of the final touches we added was this sweet mirror in the smaller size right above her dresser.  Absolutely love how it looks!


I know I’ve already mentioned this Waterpik a few times since I purchased it, but now that we’ve used it for a few weeks I can give a really good review on it. Verdict is we absolutely love it! My teeth have never felt cleaner since starting it and before going to bed it feels like you’re leaving the dentists office without the terrible part – the actual dentist visit! 



Any fun purchases you’ve made recently?

    I have a pen and office supply obsession as well and these erasable markers are so fun! I use pens of all different colors in my planner so these would be perfect. Also, I've been wanting to try the jade roller and wondered if it worked. Thanks for your honest opinion — good that it helps to sink in your creams and serums though. Happy Wednesday, Biana!

    I need that Waterpick because I HATE going to the dentist! LOL! I got some new Zella leggings, too. They're the best!

    Well you've officially sold me on getting the Waterpik. I cannot wait to see how the nursery turned out! That mirror is so pretty, I can only imagine how gorgeous everything else is!

    Omg that Waterpik looks awesome! I always love that part of the dentist's office haha I just hate all the other parts. Sold. My most fun random Amazon purchase lately was Bio-Oil haha sigh. I'm hoping to prevent too many stretchmarks lol

    Going to check those stud earrings out! I need a few pairs of basic studs for work. LOVE my Zella leggings. Erasable markers sound great! I always write in my planner in pencil so I have the option to erase.

    So those pens erase fairly well? My fear is that they would smear.
    I've always wondered about those jade rollers too. I'm sure they feel like a spa treatment though.

    I need to order it all! Eraseable pens forever and that cake stand for fruit is genius!

    That is a great idea to use that as a fruit bowl! Ugh our fruit flies have been so annoying and we also leave our bananas and avocados out. I think I need to try this. Sierra Beautifully Candid

    I hateeee flossing so I asked my dentist if the Waterpik could replace it and sadly the answer is no.. just an extra clean step! But I feel you about the dentist- I have to have a cavity filled next week and dreading it. Ps. Can't wait to see baby girl's room!

    We have that exact cake stand and I've used it for cakes, punch, fruit, and chips and dip! I can't even tell you how much it's come in handy over the years!

    That mirror is so cute!!!! And you know with that houndstooth print, I am going to need that scarf…right?? Even if I rarely ever actually wear one. I love Zella leggings. It is all I wore PP for several months! I have that cake stand and have used it for pretty much every party I have ever hosted as one of the many functions it can serve for. Perfect for any occasion!

    I was about to ask you for a post about the results of jade rolling, but yes, I guess it is difficult to really measure that. I love the pens, I am obsessed with colored pens, pencils, markers, you name it.

    Love the idea of a cake stand doubling to protect the fruit! Can't wait to see the nursery, love that mirror!

    Love those darling earrings! I've also heard great things about the waterpik but never have tried it! I love the way my teeth feel after I leave the dentist so I might just have to give this a go!

    I love everything you have shared, haha! I still need to get that waterpix, and that cake stand is SO handy! Whoever thought of making it multi purpose was brilliant!

    I've been so curious about those rollers! I can see how that would be a refreshing way to start/end the day. That little white mirror is the sweetest! Now you just need the baby girl. 🙂 Hope you're feeling well, xo

    I used to have a cake stand like that and I donated it when we moved. I'm wishing I had kept it now, that's a great idea to keep bananas in it, we have the fruit flies too!

    Congratulations, girlie! I saw on Insta that you had baby girl, she's absolutely beautiful and so precious! Enjoy every minute of her and rest as much as possible and blog when you truly feel ready. I think I made the mistake of rushing back into it too fast and tired myself out faster than I would've if I didn't. Anyway, I love your purchases from the sale! That hat is going to look so cute on you; I can't wait to see it on you!
