knot your average belt

Happy Monday! Writing to y’all from Palm Desert at the moment. I actually fly home this afternoon after a very relaxing and fun vacay with my mom and sister. I didn’t turn on my computer for a full 48 hours, which is highly unusual for me. I’m so glad I scheduled all of my posts and newsletters through Sunday so I wouldn’t have to worry about it! While I was certainly active on social media, taking a break from my computer was much needed and a nice way to unplug for a few days. I haven’t taken a ton of photos on this trip, mostly because we’ve just been shopping and relaxing, but I am planning on doing a little Palm Springs/Palm Desert guide once I get home, unpacked and settled into my routine again, so stay tuned for that!

One item I’ve been buying a lot of this year is the belt. In addition to the two Gucci belts I snagged earlier this year, I more recently picked up this knotted leather belt to style with dresses and over blazers + outerwear this season. The knotted detail is so effortless and chic, don’t you think? It’s adjustable too, so I can style it over thinner fabrics like this silk dress and also over thicker jackets and coats! I’m wearing the medium size here. It also comes in brown, and I’m considering getting that one too. It’s just so useful and a stylish way to add a cinched in, flattering touch to my favorite looks.
