A recent lunch date at Summer House with Kelly and Lucy. How funny is her mini MZ Wallace tote?
Mitch here!
Here are the first 10 things that come to mind this morning. Enjoy!
Mitch, Please: 10 Things, 4/13

I’m on a major spring organizing kick at the moment. I feel much lighter between crossing some major home projects off the list, cleaning out drawers, and donating clothing. I’m embracing less is more. So, if you’ve got the spring cleaning bug too or are just looking to spruce up your home, I thought I’d share a few cute home decor and garden finds from Target.

This is kind of crazy 😜, but I’m going to be able to blog every day this week because…
How to Style White Jeans 3 Ways
One of my favorite tricks to transitioning into a spring wardrobe is having a great pair of white jeans. White denim brightens up any outfit and makes you think of warmer weather, even if it’s still snowing in April in Chicago. Today, I wanted to share three ways to style this pair of white jeans. They’re high-waisted, have just the right amount of stretch, and are so flattering.

The Sephora Spring Savings Event opens next to VIB members tomorrow on 4/5. VIB members can take 15% off their entire purchase and receive free shipping with the code “SAVESPRING” and “FREESHIP”. Don’t worry if you’re not eligible yet, prepare your cart for 4/7!
Even though I’ve adopted a pretty simple beauty routine over the last couple of years (I rounded up my 15 go-to products earlier this week), I still wanted to share a few bestselling skincare, haircare, and makeup products that get raving reviews.
15 Favorites: Sephora Spring Savings Event
Quality skincare, haircare and makeup products can add up quickly, which is why I try to buy during Sephora sales. And huzzah! The Spring Savings Event starts today for some member tiers. If you’re not eligible yet, prepare your cart for either 4/5 or 4/7! (Important codes: Use code “SAVESPRING” to take between 10 and 20 percent off your whole order, and use code “FREESHIP” for the obvious. 😉)
I’ve personally adopted a less is more/quality over quantity beauty routine over the last couple of years, and no longer have drawers and a medicine cabinet full of products and samples that I “might use someday” or “have always wanted to try.” I now really only own what I actually use… and nothing more. (Fifteen products in total that I either use daily or weekly!) It’s a freeing feeling, and I take better care of myself and don’t skip things because I’m not overwhelmed by it all anymore. (Btw, I talk about where to donate unused product in Chicago here!)
Here’s what’s actually own and use—and swear by:
April Favorites
Button-Back Striped Sweater Cardigan / Floral Jacquard Puff Sleeve Wrap Top / Cotton-Cashmere Scoopneck Sweater / Navy Crewneck Pullover / Collared Stripe Sweater / Trench Coat / Pearl Huggie Earrings / Tretorn Canvas Sneakers / Floral Print Midi Dress / Navy High Low Wrap Dress / Black Leather Bucket Bag / Sporty Leather Strap Sandals / Favorite Mascara / Olaplex No. 3 Hair Repair
April is just around the corner, so I wanted to share a few of my favorite things from the past month, like this button-back striped sweater that doubles as a cardigan and my favorite hair mask that’ll be up to 20% off in the upcoming Sephora sale. More to come on the Sephora sale soon!
