We just finished putting together my home office/guest room, and I need a few finishing touches like this throw blanket.
This brushed-cotton throw from Garnet Hill is perfect for curling up with a good book (or my laptop). This lightweight throw is made from 100% cotton that’s been brushed for a super-soft, cozy feel. Both ends are finished with a casual fringe.
It comes in five earthy colors and can be personalized for an additional fee.
This throw blanket is $99 at Garnet Hill.

Went to m0d for a word, trying this again.
How do you keep girls’ hair out of their eyes without bar e t t e s or headbands? My daughter’s hair always goes in her eyes and preschool teachers have told us we need to start sending her with her hair pulled back because the hair in her eyes is a problem. But none of the other girls in her class wear them and they don’t seem to have this issue.

Hi all– I just found out we’re expecting kiddo #2 (yay!)… and that I will be ~13 weeks along when I start a multi-week federal trial, away from home, later this summer. FUN. I keep hearing that you pop like crazy with the second kid. RIP, new suits that I just got tailored for this trial.
I know I’ll have to play this a little bit by ear and see how things are looking closer to the trial, but the trial prep pace is going to be too insane for much thoughtful shopping. I’m trying to line up some options now. This is complicated by the fact that I won’t be big enough to get away with maternity dress + blazer, and I might still be trying to hide what I imagine will be a real bump by then. I think my current wardrobe can handle the trial prep and before/after court outfits, I just need a few options that I can wear on court days.
This is a long way of saying, does anybody have thoughts for a stretchy, comfy suit that doesn’t scream maternity?
