Happy Friday! It's a beautiful day in OKC, hope it is where you are as well! We're kicking off Spring Break this weekend and we're looking forward to Emily being home for the week. It's bittersweet- her last one home before she graduates with her MBA in May and starts a full time job. Then we'll officially be empty-nesters! I've got some good things to share with you today, let's get to it!
If you've been around for long you know my love for Bordallo Pinheiro dishes. I've loved collecting them over the years but they've soared in popularity over recent years and can be quite expensive and harder to find now. So, when I recently stumbled across these cabbage dinner plates I had to try them out! And let me tell you, I could not be more impressed. They're affordable for a set of 4, dishwasher and microwave (light reheating) safe, and spot on for the originals. I have several Bordallo serving pieces, bowls, round chargers, and smaller plates collected but didn't have these dinner plates- definitely love and keeping them! (And it's a fair guess that you'll likely see them on my Easter table in a couple of weeks!)
Just for reference, I pulled out one of my real Bordallo salad plates to compare and it couldn't be a more perfect match in color and pattern. Also available are sets of 7" cereal/soup bowls, salad/dessert plates, a 13" charger style platter, and 8.5" soup/cereal bowls. Highly recommend!
I came across this scalloped marble board and after seeing the price just had to order it and check it out for you, and I can confirm it's fantastic! It's solid marble so it's heavy, has felt pads on the bottom, and is a nice 12" size. Use it as a serving board, tray, under a vase like my tulips above, or it would be such a nice gift that won't break the bank,
I was poking around Nordstrom Rack recently and they have a huge variety Sam Edelman sandals currently in stock. It's one of my favorite shoe brands and I have a couple of pairs of similar styles as these from previous seasons, but how cute are they? I found all of these on the site and linked them for you below the photo- most come in other colors too, and there are even more cute styles linked here.

If you haven't heard, stripes are all the rage! (But when are they not, right??) Loving this pink striped button up, I also got the green and blue stripe that's a great color combo too. They're a bit oversized so size down if you want a more traditional fit, I'm in my usual M. Several color options, I have the denim one too and it's soft and comfortable. A button up + jeans is probably my all time fave easy, casual outfit.

Emily is wearing the same shirt here in a different color. I also her got the same denim one I mentioned having and she enjoyed wearing both on a recent trip. This green isn't currently available, however the exact pattern but in a muted red is under $14! She's in a M too. You might remember me mentioning a few weeks ago that she was off on a 2 week overseas trip, and she returned home last weekend. Major world events unfolded while she was gone and we were super grateful when she was back on US soil (lots of extra prayers going on while she was gone!). She said 2 weeks was a really long time to be gone but she had a great time, had so many wonderful experiences, and learned a lot about navigating travel! She visited Spain (with 5 other school friends) and Belgium (she and 1 friend stayed longer to visit another school friend living there now). She borrowed my sling crossbody bag and mentioned how great it was for the trip- small enough to not be cumbersome for exploring all day but plenty roomy for essentials. I told her to add one to her birthday wish list! 😉
I'll throw this in there too since it's from the same store and on sale- loving this comfy sweatshirt and sweatpants, and yes please to the fun green color! It's soft and not too thick and comes in a lot of sizes and colors. True to size but I sized up in the shirt, so I'm wearing a L top and M bottoms. I also bought the matching green shorts, love a sweatshirt/shorts combo for lounging. Sorry I can't link the vest- it's Vineyard Vines via TJ Maxx a year or two ago. (But I do spy some on Ebay if you're interested!)
That's it for this week, have a wonderful weekend!
