I’m working all of my magic to summon fall in Los Angeles and all I’m met with are quick teases of lower 60s in the morning and night.
Hey, I’ll take it. Any reprieve from the scorching heat is a win in my book. But I’m craving some cooler temps so I can start to rev up my autumn wardrobe.
With a trip to Paris on my books, I’m constantly day dreaming about what pieces to pack. This is somewhat comical to me because it’s a quick trip but I’m daydream shopping as if I’ll be there for a month.
Side note: I think I’ve mentioned this before but I have the larger Rue de Verneuil Tote Bag and I’m considering the smaller version because I carry it nonstop.
Hello friends,
Today, I’m walking around with my head held a little higher, feeling a weight lifted off my shoulders after sharing that I’ve moved on from Wyeth. One of the strange things about what I do is that by the time I’m able to share news with you, it’s often months after it’s happened. I need that time and space to reflect on my experiences before I’m ready to open up. I usually share once I’m on the other side of a transition or adjustment, when I feel clear, hopeful, and excited about what’s next – which is where I am now.
When I started this blog 13 years ago, my favorite part was sharing things in real time and engaging with everyone. Sadly, social media has changed so much over the last decade, but I still feel safe sharing deeper thoughts here with you all. This space allows me to pause and feels much more positive. It’s the community we’ve built together, and www.damselindior.com truly feels like my home.
I very rarely use the word divorce—it feels too heavy and final, like it reduces a personal experience to something negative. For me, my transitions have been about growth, not just endings. I like to think of them as separations, moments of letting go to create space for new beginnings.
The first major shift was my marriage. After nearly 16 years together, that chapter closed, but a new one began. My ex and I still share a meaningful relationship as co-parents and friends. It wasn’t an easy journey, but it was the right choice for both of us. It’s been over two years now, and through all the rebuilding and reflecting, I’ve grown so much.
Hi Friends,
What good books are we all reading? I’ve hit my self-care limit for now, and after binging All Fours, I’m on the hunt for something spicy and light. Drop me a note if you have any good recommendations!
On another note, this weekend in LA was a blast as we celebrated one of my best friend’s nuptials at a cocktail reception. It was such a treat to get dressed up (something that doesn’t happen often in LA), but even more heartwarming was seeing the happiness and love my bestie shares with her new husband.
I’ve got the Veuve Cliquot Polo Match on the horizon next weekend and possibly a quick jaunt up to Nappa Valley so I’ll be sharing outfits with you all soon!
Have a great week!
As fall slowly settles in, it’s a fun time to insert a few new fall favorites in to your closet and home.
But that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank in order to do so. I’m loving the long gray coat that pairs perfectly with leggings or jeans. You can check out my curated fall favorites below to get ready for the season in style!
