scheming for spring break, free people dupes, and new shows to watch this week

Feb 21, 2025

I was lucky to head to warmer weather with my two daughters for a mid-winter break family trip last weekend. The getaway was the perfect respite to follow the craziness of Valentine’s Day and what has felt like a seemingly endless rotation of snow and sick days. The mental load starts to lift a little for me during this seasonal transition, too, so I’m soaking in extra time to read and checking out some new shows after my kids’ bedtime (i.e. White Lotus). Plus, feeling the sun on my cheeks made me excited to start shopping for things that aren’t sweaters and snow boots. I swear I can see glimmers on the horizon (as long as my family can just stay healthy for a hot minute.)

Cheers,

The most-shopped products from our readers (that's you!):

The Duchess of Sussex has rebranded...again. Meghan launched her latest project As Ever, formerly known as American Riviera Orchard, coming this spring. Congratulations to her, but is anyone else losing track of all the brands and upcoming launches? AT LEAST we got a rare glimpse of Princess Lilibet. Hi cutie!
Unfortunately for our Director of Sales, the popular Free People fleece she ordered was delayed until 8/8!! Fortunately for you, she did some digging to find an amazing Amazon dupe for half the price. If you're interested, I'd grab yours now before our team sells it out.
Jesse McCartney is having a baby! Loved these beautiful announcement photos of him and his wife, did not love the people in the comments asking who he was. Have some respect for one of millennial's favorite teen heartthrobs!
