OK, be honest. Did you spend all weekend on the couch binge watching Stranger Things? We managed to limit ourselves to 5 episodes, so I saved time for non-couch activities like going to Pilates and making healthy matcha muffins. Buuuuut yeah, then I watched a bunch of TV and had cookies and wine. It’s called life balance, people.

I liked (but didn’t love) the first season of Stranger Things, but I must admit the second season is starting to pull me in. I do have a couple thoughts, though (no spoilers). First, why is the upside down full of giant dandruff? Ew. Second, that squirrel in ep. 2 is clearly not an Indiana squirrel. An Indiana squirrel would eat that tiny little gray thing for breakfast. Other than that, you have my attention, ST. Let’s see what you’ve got.

Yes, this is two posts in a row featuring a velvet something-or-other. And I did actually wear them back-to-back in real life. I might not get on board with every trend (ain’t nobody over 25 got time for that), but when I really like one, I’m all in. I feel like this combination of shapes and fabrics is equal parts frumpy and chic, which pretty much sums me up.
