my new classics.
perhaps it's because i'm closing in on 29 years old (!!!!), but i find i'm so grateful these days to have some trued & tried things i can count on to make my day a bit easier, more comforting, or nourishing. the seven items above are basically a daily part of my life right now & just in case you're on the hunt for some new classics in your life, i thought i'd share my favorites right now.
1. my homemade latte is one of my favorite rituals. it says, "yes, it seems a tad early (again) to be up ellie girl, but i will sip this while we play & it will soothe my soul into waking up." i've tried a ton of different espressos and happily this one (which is the cheapest at our grocery store!) is my fav!
2. holy moly kodiak cakes have changed my life. we're pretty much having them every morning around our house -- they're full of real, healthy ingredients and freeze so well. they're ellie's favorite food ever & that makes me one happy mama. i order them in bulk from amazon, but just heard target has started carrying them -- hooray!
3. i mentioned this in my post on hostess gifts, but mrs. meyer's honeysuckle dishsoap, handsoap and countertop cleaner are serious-three-times-a-day-(at least) day brighteners for me. i spend an inordinate amount of time washing dishes/highchair trays & this makes that task all the brighter.
4. j. crew camp socks are my go to for fall. seriously warm. seriously soft & so durable. i just love 'em.
5. i've used neutrogena face soap for over a decade. it's just the best.
6. my greatest clothing discovery ever are henry & belle jeans. i'd never even heard of them before i tried them on (post-baby, which says even more about how great they are). i would happily give up all my jeans for one pair of these. so, so comfortable & fit incredibly well. plus, they're from chicago, which is awesome.
7. pilot G-2 05 pens (is that specific enough for you? :) are in the same category as neutrogena face soap -- they're an old friend & i'll be a loyal customer for a long, long time.
alright -- spill the beans -- what are your classics? xo

Love this list Mary! Just FYI, the jeans link links back to the socks... I know because I clicked through to check them out :)
Thanks for sharing!
I love henry&belle jeans! I just stocked up this weekend.
ps: if you look at their sales you can snag a pair for as low as $44!!
Those jeans look like a treat for me post-pregnancy! Which is your favorite style?
Oh, I always love "classic" purchases! You can get me to buy almost anything by using that word :)
The mainstays in my life right now are:
1. Aquafor for my son (Dry cheeks, diaper rash, blistered thumb, etc.)
2. Fresh passion and plum colored lip gloss (moisturizer and color in one!)
3. Tory Burch Eddie flats (I own in tan and black and wear them with everything all year round)
4. Nutella (Perfect for bananas, apples, pears, toast, waffles, and graham crackers)
5. La Croix (I cycle through every flavor and always keep my refrigerator stocked)
6. Kate Spade Stevie black purse (It's super wide for cramming in all the toddler things I cart around and stylish enough that I can take it out at night, also)
Henry and Belle jeans are on www.zulily.com today!
