Things on my radar
The May roundup
Okay, but did April ever happen? Seriously! Suddenly it’s May, suddenly it’s almost summer—suddenly it’s already Gemini season!? This is the time of year, every year, that I desperately wish would move in slow motion because it’s sweet and gentle and recharging. This month I feel like I’m finally feeling directed and inspired again.
Let’s dive into my saves for the month, shall we?
This mesmerizing cake:

I just learned about these secret Star of David necklaces that were popular in the 1400s in Spain when Jews converted to Catholosicsm but still held Judaism in their souls. It’s upsetting to think that many of my friends are seeking out these necklaces to wear nowadays, but also, I love how they connect me to my rooted history as a Spanish Jew.
These little platters are so sweet and would be perfect for an elongated summer dinner parties al fresco.
I visited the new Pure Sweat in DC to use their IR sauna and float room, and after my session I used some Everyday Oil they had available for guests. I’ve seen this product on shelves for years but never tried it, and I fell in love. It goes on smooth and has an enchanting palo santo scent that lasts on your skin all day.
Everlane was having a big sale on dresses a few weeks ago while I was visiting DC and I tried this one on. I fell in love with her but didn’t buy her and now she’s haunting my dreams. I might have to pull the trigger—she’d really be the perfect summer frock, especially great for farmer’s market strolls.
If I had a capsule wardobe I would SO do this. It’s brilliant:
I got a Bearaby blanket and it is worth every penny. I feel so safe and comforted by its weight on my body.
Do I like ASMR because I love this sound and want this keyboard?

As you know, I lean on flower essences often for emotional support. I recently had a ping to go back to an old bottle of Whole Hearted by Alexis Smart. It moved through me in a really powerful way.
I’ve been having deep cravings to dress more womanly, tapping into my femininity. Visiting the Sezane pop up store in DC felt like tapping into this flirty elegance. Here are a few items I loved:
I’m intrigued by this card deck.
I’ve been making my own hummus and its so satisfying. I’m impressed by how good it’s turning out just using ingredients I find at our local grocery store.
I’m prioritising my health and started seeing a virtual naturopath once again to get my general levels back in order. Even though we haven’t started any protocols, I’m already feeling better knowing that I’m taking charge.
Lisa Says Gah always nails their patterns and I really really love this one.
I am completely heartbroken over the news of Mara Hoffman shutting down her operations. She has always been such an icon and a role model for how I want to be in the world. I always had her pieces in mind for my wedding events and now I might have to snag something before they sell out 😭. This feels perfect for a bachelorette dinner, and this one looks ideal for a rehearsal dinner…or even the wedding itself? Gah.
This is out of control and I love it. I followed this trend from its inception and I am here for all of it.

So graceful:
Omg these sandals are THE summer pick for me.
AND I officially declare this summer the summer of all the loose pants! Tempted by this pair from Jcrew and these from Donni and want to pair them with my oversized button downs IMMEDIATELY.
xx 💘
What did you find this month? LMK!
I love that collage of the capsule wardrobe!! Makes me want to do this for my own closet so I can easily see all of my pieces.
SO many good recs. Those sandals are wild! And this '80s dance trend on TikTok is incredible.
