Can I just tell you that I’m thrilled/over the moon/in a tizzy that flared jeans are back in style? Yep, the ’70s are back. Trust me on this one. This get-up has a decidedly Mila Kunis in That ’70 Show feel to it, right? As for this silk macaron print blouse — the print is sweet and quirky. Every time I wear it people freak out because who doesn’t DIE for macarons? 

And talk to me about my first ever handbag collaboration! Yep, you read that right — this cobalt blue Mel Boteri bag is named after yours truly. Mel made it just for moi with my initials embossed inside and and all! Adore the oversized tassel detail, too. Obsessed.

So what’s new with you freaks? This past weekend was the first one spent at home and it was much needed. I go to catch up on work and set some new goals for the month. Last night, the husband and I ate at Byblos with some friends and it was beyond. The duck kibbeh were life changing. Isn’t it sad I feel this way about food? I LITERALLY FIND IT LIFE CHANGING. Talk about being a piggy. We also rented an Argentine film called Wild Tales and it’s the best flick I’ve seen in forever — check it out. 

What else? I’m utterly bummed summer is coming to its inevitable end. I’ve been loving waking up at 8 a.m., taking it easy in the mornings, letting the kids sleep well past their bedtime and watching their golf and tennis game grow. 

Now I’m off to Staples armed with my back-to-school supplies shopping list where — not to brag — I’m sure my panic attacks will be on point.
