loafers - Obsessed with these chocolate beauties for Fall. This new to me brand from Italy is recreating this classic style in a luxurious silhouette. They’re also available in this beautiful emerald green (here in a Mary Jane style) and in classic black velvet! Love the under $150 price tag.

watch - Over the last week and a half I have become completely addicted to The Durrels in Corfu. The show is a PBS original and now available on Amazon Prime. It is lighthearted, full of whit, and I can’t stop giggling as I watch this British family attempt a fresh start on this tiny Greek island. It’s Schitts Creek meets Swiss Family Robinsons! Lucky for me there are three seasons!

sit - We’re always looking for extra seating in our house when friends or family stop by and this rattan folding chair is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Also available is this perfect check cushion for a modern English Farmhouse look.

wear - Want to give wide leg denim a try but don’t know where to start? Take my word for it, these are worth a try. Why I love them: they’re the perfect shade of light denim that you can wear any season, the fit is everything, high-waisted with just the right amount of stretch and only slightly flared, and lastly, they’re made of organic cotton and only $29.
