erica’s things
Taking the first step toward improving my atrocious posture: a chill-but-tough class at New York Pilates. Also, these stretches look like a nice break from the sad desk slump.
Laying off the caffeine for a bit and mixing some of this stuff with almond milk when I’m in the mood for something creamy-dreamy instead of herbal tea.
Embracing sweater weather, with this man as my role model.
Toasting an affianced pal’s move to buy her gown at Bridal Garden, a Manhattan boutique with some serious deals on serious dresses—the sales of which benefit education for disadvantaged kids.
Deep-cleaning my fridge and realllly patting myself on the back about that. (I have this to thank.)

Keeping a packet of these wonderfully effective things in my purse to combat salt-and-sand destruction of winter boots—like Handi Wipes for your leather goods.

Praising the ladies at Negative Underwear for coming out with a good-looking, no-underwire bra that I’m pretty obsessed with. Holy comfort, Batman. And so cute, too!
Adding my signature to what might be the most pressing petition of our time. Antsy for you to do the same.
