100th Sunday Brief!! // According to my math, today marks the 100th version of The Sunday Brief. I started this series on a whim – I thought it would be cool to have a place for a weekly collection of “things” (usually happy, inspiring, tasty, sale mention worthy) that I came across during the week. This quickly became a post that readers looked forward to every week. Coffee, kids watching cartoons (or sleeping if you’re lucky), and reading the Sunday Brief – a good combo to start your week.
I wasn’t sure the best way to celebrate the 100th Sunday Brief or if celebration was needed at all. I thought about making a list of my 100 favorite things, but that wouldn’t be true to this post. It’s supposed to be, well, “brief”. So instead I’ll humor you with the first Sunday Brief and since that post included a giveaway, so will this one! See the bottom of the post to enter. Thanks for reading and sharing a part of every Sunday with me….
J.Crew Factory // Did you catch my fall picks on J.Crew Factory’s website?! Loving everything they have out for fall (hello, plaid!), so it was a little hard for me to just choose a few. Check my picks out here & shop my top 5 favorites below:
More than Fashion // Madeline Stuart has walked over 60 runway shows, including the past week at NYFW. Her story is beautiful & inspiring, and will give you all the good vibes. I promise.
Fall Faves // Three things I can’t seem to stop wearing – this leopard belt (instantly finishes jeans and a tee), this reader favorite thermal is back on sale – don’t wait! And you are going to be seeing a lot of these booties – they are so comfy and they are just “enough” different to make them worthy of that double take.
Tacosaurus Rex // Have your kids ever wished they could see a real dinosaur? This isn’t a real one, but I’m pretty sure it’s the next best thing. The dino taco holder retails for $12 & just scored you the Best Parent Ever award.
Meet My Crew // I was so honored this week to partner with J.Crew to share “my crew” – see our pic here. And now I definitely need this tee. Get 30% off today – the new arrivals are SO good.
Chow // Is it soup season yet? Either way I’m making this corn chowder this week.
Target Does it Again // I might as well give Target my bank account information because they just keep coming out with amazing lines and I cannot contain myself!! They launched their new line, Prologue, on Friday and it is GOOD. Over here at TMCHQ we can’t stop ooh-ing & ahh-ing over every piece. Simple, sophisticated, sleek, affordable. A few favorite picks from the team here:
Enter to win $100 below! One winner will be announced on Friday!

September 16, 2018 at 11:31 amWe live in NC (outside of Raleigh) and were spared compared to the Coast. Is there something we can do in the immediate aftermath to help? Supplies neede? Be safe!
amanda blanchette
September 16, 2018 at 11:39 amWe live in Emerald Isle. I know the conditions are bad and only getting worse due to the flooding. You are so sweet to offer assistance! I know that food in the area is running low. Reports are that electric company crews and first responders are having a tough time getting a meal due to shortages. I’m not sure how to get anything there but I’m sure donations to Red Cross and Navy Marine Corps Relief Society would be greatly appreciated!!
