Tuckernuck’s Annual Online Sample Sale is happening soon! I’ve written about this every year since their first online sale in 2021, and every single year I’ve scored awesome deals up to 85% off retail prices on 1000s of their brand name items like Tuckernuck, Canada Goose, Mother, STAUD, Alexis, Sea New York, Agua by Agua Bendita, Cara Cara, LoveShackFancy, and hundreds of others. This is Tuckernuck’s best sale of the year, so it’s no wonder that I’ve received so many questions about the details. In this post, I’m going to share my best guess for the date of the sale, my tips for shopping the sale and scoring everything you want, and introduce a giveaway for not one but TWO Tuckernuck gift cards!
Millwright’s in Simsbury, CT
We’ve dined at Millwright’s in Simsbury, CT, several times since moving to the East Coast, and every time has been better than the last. Everything from the staff and the atmosphere to the food itself and the presentation of the food has been outstanding every single time. Most recently, we visited after a day trip to Hartford. Though it was dark outside and busy inside, which meant I couldn’t take many great shots of the riverside exterior or the beautiful historical decor of the restaurant, everything was top-notch. I hope to return someday soon and take photos when it’s still light outside and not so busy inside. Read on to learn why Millright’s is well worth a drive to the charming city of Simsbury.
Serena & Lily Fresh Start Sale Event
Slowly but surely, rattan furniture is taking over our home. From vintage peacock chairs and rattan footstools to rattan bookcases and a rattan day bed, our home is filled with beautiful, timeless rattan, and I’m so happy about this change! It’s so easy to pair with similar materials like hyacinth, seagrass, and bamboo, plus it brightens up any space with crisp white accents. Here are my favorites from the Serena & Lily Fresh Start Sale Event.
How to Make Naturally Curly Hair Shinier & Smoother
Before I learned how to care for my hair, I used to think it was frizzy, unruly, and unmanageable. I have naturally curly hair, far curlier than you might expect, and throughout my life, very few stylists have been able to manage cutting it properly. It took quite some time and lots of trial and error to discover that most hair care products simply weren’t meant for my hair type. I have medium-thickness curly hair (3A – 3C, depending upon the location, it’s much curlier and tighter at the back of my neck) that can take a lot of effort to keep hydrated and shiny. If you have hair like mine and want to learn how I figured out what was best for it, I hope these pieces of advice will serve you well.
The Prettiest Pearl Jewelry from Julie Vos
To me, jewelry isn’t just something I wear. It’s representative of my experiences, milestones, and landmarks. When I look in my jewelry box, I don’t see pieces of metal and precious stones. I see the necklace I wore on our wedding day, the bracelet I wore when we got engaged, the pairs of earrings I wore during our time in Japan, and the necklace I bought while shopping in Paris. That’s why I see every new piece of jewelry I add to my collection, like the prettiest pearl jewelry from Julie Vos, as future moments of good times!
How to Care for Pearls
I’ve always loved wearing pearl jewelry. Something about it is timeless, and it goes with everything from denim and a plain tee to a black tie evening gown. Worn by royalty and those living along the sea for millennia, pearls have an inherent value beyond the monetary, and their unique shape means no two are ever the same. Unlike diamond or other precious stone jewelry that require skillful cleaning and careful storage, when worn frequently, pearls are very simple to care for properly once you know how to do so. In this guide, I’ll share all of my tips for ensuring your pearl jewelry stays lustrous and bright for generations to come!
Cozy & Sophisticated Cotton Silk From Lunya
Whether I’m traveling or relaxing at home, I love to be comfortable. It’s important to me that what I wear feels good against my skin too. I used to endure itchy wool sweaters and scratchy, unlined brocade fabrics because they looked good, but a few years ago, I vowed to myself to never to wear anything uncomfortable again. That’s why when I spotted this gorgeous, cozy cotton silk pocket henley and cotton silk ribbed leggings from Lunya, one of my favorite loungewear brands, I immediately fell in love with it. It is unbelievably soft and silky. Made of organic cotton and sustainably sourced silk, so I know the fabric is good for my skin, my body, and my peace of mind.
Sushi by M Omakase in New York City
Sushi by M is a fantastic omakase spot in New York City. If you haven’t tried omakase yet – you’ll definitely want to give it a go! Omakase is a type of meal where sushi chefs select the courses for you based on what’s seasonally available. Omakase essentially means, “I’ll leave it up to you”” and unlike the omakase at Kissaki where the menu is based on their talented sushi chef’s whims, Sushi by M has set menus at the start of the day. They also offer upgrades for an upcharge, like upgrading the hand roll finish of the meal to the toro scallion hand roll like I did. Everything here was phenomenal and so, so fresh. I can’t wait to go back someday soon!
My Favorites from the Kiel James Patrick Sale
Kiel James Patrick is a very classic, quintessentially New England brand that captures the laid-back, nautical, and fun-loving nature of the East Coast. I’ve worn this brand for years, and I still regularly wear the scalloped oxford I bought from them back during my university days. It’s only since moving to New England myself that I’ve come to appreciate how well the brand encapsulates the spirit of New England in all that they make. Currently, they’re offering an extra 20% off their sale items, including the gorgeous pieces I’ve picked below, so check out my favorites from the Kiel James Patrick sale and explore their large selection of pearl jewelry, relaxed dresses, and playful accessories.
The Gardens of Versailles
The Gardens of Versailles at the Château de Versailles, approximately 12 miles southwest of Paris, France, is one of the most magnificent gardens I’ve ever visited. It’s an incredible 2,000-acre garden that was first built in 1624 but looks quite similar to how it would have nearly 400 years ago. We visited during our time in Paris as a day trip, and I was absolutely blown away by the complexity and sheer magnitude of these gorgeous gardens. Truly, I’ve never seen anything like it. I can’t even imagine how this space would have wowed visitors centuries ago who had little in the way of a frame of reference.
