Brilliant! As usual. Asking for a friend: when you test leggings can you talk about the roll-down issue? Mine never don’t do this and if it’s to do with my body shape—fine, I can handle the truth. If my pants are too small, tell me! The Lululemon saleslady said it was because they needed to be smaller…and then sold me $300 worth of leggings that, after a few months of stay-in-place bliss, now roll down. Are everyone’s leggings constantly rolling down/sagging, and they’re just putting up with it? or is it just me, wearing the wrong stuff? This is a serious need-to-know, Hillary!!

Excited to start that book and not put it down until it's done. 🙃 I could not put down The Last Thing He Told Me either.
I fully agree with you on the constant and exhausting hypocrisy of constant self improvement and self acceptance. Maybe acceptance is the improvement?
I have been slowly joining the contouring trend, though I like a more natural and laid back approach so this tutorial is much appreciated along with the make-up references. Always open to learning and trying new beauty and make-up recs.
Very much in an olive green vibe, make-up too, so these items are so tempting. Especially those Dior slingbacks. It is definitely a nuetral. 💛
Love this list, thanks for putting it together! What a treat. Welcome back and Happy New Year!
Welcome back! I wanted to share my channa saag recipe (it's a weekly item for us and even the kids will eat it - I add the jalapeno in after taking out their portions), which we pair with mini naan or RightRice. Easy, flavorful, and so so good! https://www.hithaonthego.com/vegan-channa-saag/
Yay! She’s back! Olive you say? All but one of my coats is in olive green: cannot get away! Already reserved the books « I’ll be you » and « the last thing he told me » at the library and miso broc on menu tonight! Looking forward to the next missive!
Re: workout leggings. Can you look for a pair that are midrise? I’m not sure if it is my body type but high rise just don’t work for me. I’m constantly pulling them up or down and just feel so restricted. Lululemon’s are all high rise now. The only brand I’ve found lately are Nike. Would love some help on this!
Excited about the Mary Phillips tutorial (like everyone else on the internet!). Wonder if you used the RCMA highlight or a substitute. Wasn’t clear from the tutorial which one Mary was using.
Looking forward to the legging reviews. Any chance of one for classic white button-down shirts? I find it SO hard to tell from online photos a CWBD is see-through enough that it's going to require a tank top underneath
Welcome back! Love getting these newsletters. 100% with you on the olive green, and never thought about how it works with literally every other neutral. So good.
Would love your take on non workout leggings... I’m seeing so many and thinking something that can be worn with boots, ballet flats... maybe a flare or stirrup??
Welcome back! I was excited to see your newsletter in my inbox this morning!
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect white button down. Something that is a little oversized and will pair well with jeans, trousers, etc. I’d love your recommendations!
Love all of these recommendations. I have been on the hunt for a classic cocktail dress that can be worn over and over with different accessories. I feel like everything is either super trendy or super dowdy.
Broccoli tots/fritters are a hit with my kids: microwave or steam the broccoli, put it in the food processor with cheddar, 1-2 eggs depending on how much broccoli, a few bread or panko crumbs, and salt and pepper. Form into patties or tots and either fry in a pan or bake in the oven at 400. Great with ketchup. I often do this with leftover broccoli that’s been steamed. :-)

Bring forth the dupe! Mine are at the waist, maybe not *above* the waist?
