Sometimes I wonder why we do this to ourselves. We get these beloved pets well knowing that they will likely pass away before we do. When they do pass, they take a little piece of our soul with them. Losing a pet is painful; this is all still so fresh. Out of habit, I went […]
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts later this week (early access) so I will be covering that in a pretty curated manner (see last year’s try-on session here and my roundups), BUT as it turns out, it’s still summer.
