Being Bridget

Top: Madewell Classic Tee // Jeans: Levi’s 721 high rise jeans {also here} // Shoes: Christian Louboutin

I’ve owned lots of different denim brands throughout my life, but none are as classic as my Levi’s. The brand is infamous for their crisp & clean styles, and although I love those, my favorite pair are the 721’s {I own them in 2 colorways} eBay has an incredible selection to choose from and from all different vintages – you can’t beat the prices, so go check it out and let me know what you find!

Top: Wayf Tie Front Crop Top // Bottoms: Wayf  High Waist Crop Pants // Hat: Eric Javits ‘Gondolier’ Boater Hat // Sunglasses: Celine // Shoes: Schutz Enida Heels

Note to self: don’t pack for a 2 week vacation to Europe while severely sleep deprived! I’m kicking myself for leaving this Wayf set behind when it would have been perfect for the South of France. Lucky for you, it’s still in stock and the top is on sale! I would size down as this runs a little big. Also, even though this hat is a bit of an investment, it’s beautifully made and the wide white grosgrain ribbon makes it different from the other hats I’ve seen. It too would have been perfect for my trip {dangit!} Are you doing any fun travel this summer? Let me know where in the comments!

thank you to QVC for compensating this post, all opinions are my own

Does your significant other snore? Does he or she stay up later watching tv? Do you live in a big city with noisy traffic at all hours of the night {I’m talkin’ to you, New Yorkers!} If you’ve been following along on my Instagram as I prepared for my upcoming travel last week, you probably saw me talk about my new Bose sleepbuds. These sleepbuds have built-in technology that masks unwanted outside noise. Meaning, I can drown out the white noise of the plane, the snoring of other passengers and the rattle and noise of flight attendants pushing carts {winning!} They are incredibly small and designed to essentially disappear into your ear making them extremely comfortable to sleep in. Even though I used these on my trip to Europe, these are not just  meant for travel, these little buds will be a necessity for those of you who have trouble sleeping and staying asleep at home. With 10 soothing sounds to choose from in the accompanying app, you will fall into a deep relaxation free from any unwanted noise. I also love that you can set timers so you have control over how long the sounds are playing once you fall asleep.

If you can relate to any of the above, you need to invest in these little buds. Right now, they’re available on QVC.com for $249.96, with a payment plan option of just 5 payments of $49.99*. I know this might seem like a high price point, but Bose is known for being and creating the best quality products and these are no different. They are comfortable, sleek, easy to use, and most importantly, they work!

See below to shop my sleepbuds and to see which other Bose products are my favorite! {my husband swears by the noise canceling blue tooth headphones!} Do you own any Bose products? Do you think these sleepbuds could be right for you? Let me know the comments!

Top: BP. Relaxed Tee // Shorts: Nobody Denim Boho Shorts // Shoes: Tkees Foundation Flip Flops // Bag: Old, similar here // Sunglasses: Quay It’s My Way Sunglasses

Obsessed with this wide neck tee from BP! I bought it in 3 colors and it’s been on constant repeat for the last few weeks {see the striped version here!} These jean shorts are also a new fav – they’re relaxed and comfortable and I’m happy that they’re not so incredibly short that I feel like my butt is hanging out! Paired them here with a bag I bought from the market in Indonesia and my favorite pair of everyday flip flops. These are so incredibly comfortable and literally go with anything. I wear them atleast 5x a week!

Writing this from my hotel in London – I love London so much I could easily see myself living here one day. I love the people watching, the old buildings, all the history and of course the wonderful restaurants. It’s definitely up there as one of my favorite cities in the world. What is yours? Let me know in the comments!
