Happy Friday, friends! And welcome to the first Friday Favorites of 2020. I can’t really believe that I’m writing ’round 3′ in the title of this post. That means I’m into my third calendar year of blogging, which just feels insane. So I want to start the year by saying a big thank you to each of you who reads these Friday Favorites posts. They’re some of my favorites to write and hopefully some of your favorites to read.
So where to begin? We’re already three Fridays into the new year. I was traveling in Hong Kong for the first Friday and last week was a bit of a life catch up after being away for so long. I always feel like it takes a little bit of time to get caught up after the new year.
So far I’ve, gotten back into my work flow with Bloomeffects, sat down and wrote out my 2020 goals, and completely re-vamped my website. All very exciting things! I’ve also been working out a ton and eating right. I know that everyone tends to do this during January, so it’s not anything crazy new. But it does feel especially good to be back at it after the holidays.
Recently I started watching Spinning Out, which has me MAJORLY missing skating. I actually got a Facebook notification that it’s been six years since I competed at the US Championships. Insane. Since there aren’t many rink options here in the Netherlands, I’ve been pouring myself into workout classes. My favorites are spin (of course) and Lagree method, which is essentially pilates reformer on steroids.
Anyway, no big plans for this weekend. Thinking of doing a closet cleanout to sell on Poshmark. Jon and I will be back in New York the last week of January for a wedding, so I’ll bring stuff back to postmark. Otherwise taking it easy!
Hope your year has been off to a great start! I’d love to hear how your first few weeks have been in the comments. And read on for the first Friday Favorites of 2020.
Xx, Kelsey
FRIDAY FAVORITES: ROUND 3, WEEK 1
This black tea with vanilla is to die for. My mom got me hooked on it at Christmas, so I just ordered myself a package and a super cute teapot.
It’s been really cold and dreary in the Netherlands. So I just shared this blog post with the winter coats you should have in your closet.
How cute are these faux leather pants? Only $37 too! I’m trying not to shop this month, but these might just be calling my name.
For Christmas, Jon got me this work bag. I’ve been absolutely obsessed. It fits literally everything you could think to carry and the style makes me feel like a sophisticated boss babe.
Been toying with the idea of getting a new phone to replace my old-as-dirt iPhone 7. If I do, I want to splurge on one of these personalised cases.
Jon and I just booked a ski trip. We’re finally skiing the Alps! I’ve got my whole ski wardrobe planned out. If you’re looking for the right amount of ski chic, check out this sweater.
My favorite winter boots are on sale for 30% off. I bought these on Black Friday, and honestly wear them all the time.
Have you figured out your 2020 goals yet? This format is super helpful for setting your year up for success. Highly recommend!
OUTFIT DETAILS:
Uniqlo sweater (actually a men’s sweater, but I got a small and love it!) | J. Crew Factory jeans | Similar croc boots here and here
