NET-A-PORTER Sale + Getting Back Into Action! | Brooklyn Blonde

I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things and while I'm not necessarily rushing, it feels good to get my creative juices flowing. It's been two weeks with having a newborn and a toddler and so far, it's gone smoother than I could have expected. The hardest part has been getting out of the house with the baby (and not even with two - Nate's been in school!), but I'm hoping it all gets easier with a little time and practice. I've also never watched so much tv in my entire life. I'm enjoying every moment of this low-key, downtime while it's here.

It also feels pretty good to slowly get back into regular, non-pregnancy clothes. A part of me misses my bump, especially when I see Sasha and I think "oh my goodness. you were just inside of me and now you're here," but it's definitely easier getting dressed and living life when you're not pregnant. I have some weight to lose to get back (and to feel great) in my regular clothes. But again, I'm not rushing or stressing over it. With Nate, I was so fixated on it and this time, I know that time will come with some work and patience.

Song's unfiltered confession, "I'm taking these photos and posting #aboutlastnight or something vain just to showcase that my life is perfect and people are commenting #goals when in fact, I'm so depressed."

A big NET-A-PORTER sale is happening and I've found a few good gems at 40% off: high-top Golden Goose, Aquazzura leopard sock boots, shearling lined Chloe boots (I still love these classics so much), and an oversized linen Tibi blazer.

One of my favorite face oils to keep my skin hydrated for winter.

And while we're on the topic of skincare, one of my all-time favorite masques is back in stock.

This masque was sold out for months, but now available at Aida Bicaj. Her website does a great job explaining why it's such a brilliant product. Aida was actually the very first place I went to get a Biologique Recherche facial (years ago). Per her recommendation, I apply P50 and then apply the masque for 20-30 minutes. Be warned, it smells horrendous and is the color of dog poop.

& I may have just bought myself a present. They're actually a bit shorter (85mm instead of 100mm) than my black pair, but The black booties I've been wearing for 4-5 years now come in this colorthis years black version has a lower heel. They're very comfortable and look so good on.
