The Weekly Edit

the necklace girls in la are wearing, protein foam at starbucks, snack plate combos, pamela anderson's gardening tips and so much more!

Hiii! How are you this week? I was in LA and had every minute scheduled between work, appointments, friends and family. A very packed but productive and fulfilling couple of days. There’s a lot of LA-ness to report on but I think I’ll save it for the next 7 Things? Feels right! I can tell you this though, every other girl was wearing a necklace with something silver and round-ish dangling from it. Both long, specifically on black cords or thinner silver chains, and when it came to short, this bean. Also everywhere? This $25 bag in cream.
