    Leave it to me to write this post just as we have a big tomato recall — let’s hope that’s sorted soon! Is anyone else counting down the days until tomato season? It is pretty much upon us. Here in Charleston, I dream about the tomato tart at FIG (one of my favorite restaurants). They just put it back on the menu, which means I will be posting up at the bar for that, the gnudi, and an icy glass of Sancerre ASAP.

    I always say this, but great style does not have to cost a million dollars! Nothing thrills me more than finding something really cute at a great price point. As we move away from featuring Amazon fashion, I’ve had a lot of luck sourcing stylish pieces from Cos, Gap, Quince, and more. I update this ShopMy shelf every week with new under $200 finds, but I also like to do a round-up here every couple of weeks.

    Men can be so incredibly hard to shop for! Today, I’m rounding up what I think are the best gifts for guys—things I’ve bought my boyfriend and dad that have hit the mark. The best thing I’ve ever given my boyfriend was probably the Theragun mini. I got it for him early into dating, and he still pulls it out all the time. Sometimes it goes missing as his kids will steal it. The compact shape is perfect for travel (it’s TSA-approved) and a godsend for sore muscles.

    I have always had a thirst for discovery—finding unique, interesting things that not everyone has—whether that is a handbag designer that’s still under the radar, a perfume no one else knows about, or something special for my dinner table. In the spirit of that, Pinned & Noted is a column where I will share the new-to-me discoveries, books I’ve pre-ordered, and (hopefully) under-the-radar gems. You can view the first three here, here, and here.

    Today’s post is a little round-up of everything I am eyeing (and a few things I am buying). A few of these are more of the “look, don’t touch” variety (cough, cough Pucci caftan and Dolce & Gabbana sandals). I actually think that the sandals would make a great DIY. You could easily find the items to make the raffia flowers, and then just pin or glue them to a pair of plain raffia sandals. Carly found these Reformation platforms, and I ordered them immediately.
