Wendy’s Picks

“Wendy’s Weekly Picks,” is a feature in which I highlight stuff I like or recommend in the worlds of fashion, gift ideas, home decor, makeup, websites, entertainment, and recipes. Of course, much of the stuff I link to will be affiliate products, which means I’ll receive a commission on any click-throughs or purchases you make through the affiliate links. As always, I appreciate your support! Here are my favorite finds this week:

It’s boot season, y’all (well, at least for a majority of DW readers). Last year I wore these pretty much every single day and, as a result, need a replacement pair this year. Should I get the exact same ones (I do love them)? Or… these or these? Please, I need help deciding!

I’m also in the market for tall brown boots, which I plan to put on my holiday wish list this year. Drew gave me a great pair four years ago and that was the last pair of tall brown boots that I got, so I’m due (and for what it’s worth, in four seasons of fairly regular wear, I’ve only had to have them re-soled once). Right now, these are the top of the list. They’re pricey, but so pretty, so I’m going to keep an eye out for a sale, maybe around Thanksgiving (fingers crossed).

Had these in my Amazon shopping cart and almost pulled the trigger. Still might, but, as I told Drew, I’ve learned about myself that I usually wear the same two to three pairs of shoes all season, even if there are other cute ones in my closet — it’s easier when I’m running out the door, as I inevitably always am, to grab whatever I wore the last time I ran out the door. So, I have to be judicious about what two to three pairs of shoes I select for the season. But these are really cute, no? And I’ve heard they’re super comfy.

If it’s boot season, it must also be scarf season. I always love a bright, cheery scarf (keeping an eye on this one in hopes it goes on sale soon).

This is the time of year I start wearing darker lipstick on occasion. This is my favorite (on sale, too), and I’ve found it to be universally flattering on a variety of skin colors and tones.

A few years ago I started losing my eyebrows. A few months ago, there was nothing left. Like, we’re talking a few strands at best. For two months, I have been using this RapidLash eyebrow serum twice a day, and it’s working! I don’t look like Brooke Shields, but there’s definitely new growth — as in, you can actually see some brows now — and that’s worth 26 bucks, for sure.

I’m having so much fun dressing Joanie. Baby girl clothes are the best! Here, she’s wearing a few of my favorite pieces from her fall wardrobe: the shirt, the pants, the vest, and come on now with this hat. (I got everything 40% off with whatever code was valid at the time. Always check for a Gap and Old Navy promo code before you pay!).

Also, I know this veers into crazy-mommy territory, but I got these tights for Joanie and then by chance I found this sweater, and I’m just saying: They’re a perfect match!

Had a store credit and bought this shirt a few days ago. Love the way it fits my curvy frame.
