Valentine Pajamas for My Girl
Since February is my second favorite month, I lean entirely into everything pink and anything with a heart. I am a simple girlie in February—all pink, all day long, plus anything with a heart or a bow. I definitely look like a walking Valentine, and I am completely okay with that. 💟

Water Cannon Salute
While I perusing social media yesterday, I came across a video of the plane leaving DC carrying the flight attendant from the PSA flight that crashed the week before while descending into Reagan International Airport. Flight attendant Ian Epstein wasn't scheduled for the flight he served but had switched shifts with another attendant so they could play golf. What I have read and seen about Mr. Epstein's life was nothing short of inspirational, and I know his wife and family are immensely proud of the man and employee he was. I came upon the water cannon salute on social media, which I did not know existed before watching the video. It was a stunning, peaceful, respectful video, and I immediately started researching to learn more.

The Way I Love Ralph
I have loved all things Ralph Lauren for as long as I can remember. I have shared many times that I love every aspect of RL and have many vintage pieces of clothing and a few plaid handbags and luggage pieces that I covet. There is just something about the mix of plaid with classic investment pieces that I just can't get enough of, and recently, the love seems to have exploded.

Things of Note ...
Happy Monday! I hope you are greeted with a bluebird day, blue skies, and so much sun. The sun shining in my office windows each morning is doing wonders for my seasonal blues. There is just something about those grey days that makes me so unproductive!
How about a fun "things of note"? We are clearly overdue!

What's Next For Shop Pink Clutch
I am super excited to share that 2025 brings a new chapter for me ... a fun move into a local antique shop and local in-person shopping for Shop Pink Clutch. At the moment, my move-in date is March 1, but that could change and be quicker. I am excited to curate, shop, and create a booth that will hopefully be loved by all. I have shopped at my local spot for many years and started working on the vision in December of 2023. Fast forward to now, and I have secured a booth of good size with great bones and a good location. Taking my online presence to a physical one will be so much fun.

My Beloved Millie
It's been a week and a half since we said goodbye to our precious Millie, and the house is still so sad without her. She was my first rescue, my first beagle, and an instant perfect addition to our family. She was quiet, unless it was meal time, so kind and loving, and never met a stranger. She loved car rides and a small snack of cheese until she left us, every single meal she ever ate. Our girl was the best protector and sidekick and a lifeline to me during cancer, our hospital stay, and more.

Valentines Day with Rifle Paper Co.
It is no surprise that the newest collection is excellent. Every single thing Rifle Paper Co. produces is better than its last collection. But I may be biased because this one seems extra special.
