I am swooning over this swing clutch from Veronica Beard. Is it not the perfect date night bag?! Raleigh continues to be a hot swamp, so honestly, even the idea of dressing up a little bit for a date night feels a little daunting because I know I’ll be sweating the moment I step outside.
We’re close to a break in the heat (I saw a high of 70 degrees on the weather app for next week) and I’d just be happy to be able to play pickleball outside and not pass out from heat exhaustion! I’m also in the thick of marathon training right now and the heat is kicking my butt.
A few things to note: FRAME is doing a friends and family sale in case you’ve had your eye on anything, and Madewell is doing 25% off as well. I just bought the Greta Glove Flat in the black leather and they’re really nice-No break in time required!
This quilted jacket from Madewell has caught my eye as well–I love the quilted pattern in the rich chocolate brown.
I hope you have a nice weekend!
