speakable newness.

Helloooo and happy Monday!

I must admit I’m always a bit wary that I’m posting too much about Speakable - mostly because I never want to seem too self-promoting. BUT…Speakable is my baby and something I’m extremely proud of. So why wouldn’t I share it on a blog about my life, right?

With that being said, I just wanted to let you in on a few exciting things going on over in Speakable world. First of all, (as you may have seen on yesterday’s post) NEW YORK is back!

Secondly, all of the necklaces are now available in lower case lettering, which has been getting a great response.

The new nameplate necklaces have also been getting a ton of love…

And last but not least, I’ve released not one but TWO new words to the Freedom Collection! Well, phrases 😉

BE STILL and BE BRAVE.

Both of those were just really on my heart, so I thought they’d make a perfect addition.

So, that’s that! Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement. You can check out all of the necklaces (and contact me if you have any questions) over at www.Speakable.co, and stay up to date by following Speakable on Instagram.

scenes from the weekend.

Weekends are always a fun time, but they’re especially great now that I live within walking distance of most of my favorite places in the city.

…like St. Paul’s German Church, where we had an amazing Liberty Sisterhood gathering on Friday.

Followed by a cozy late night dinner at the Meatball Shop.

Then after a few hours of bopping around we ended up at the “neighborhood club.”

In case you missed everyone’s Instagram updates, the weather in the Northeast this weekend was per-fec-tion. No winter coat necessary!

And springy nails to match.

The West Village was doing all sorts of showing off.

We brunched 13 people strong at De Santos.

I’m thankful that Rachel likes splitting meals as much as I do. Why on earth get one entrée when you can have two?

We kicked the new week off right with a visit to the gym on Sunday morning.

(Sunglasses to cover up the post-gym roughness, ha.)

With a weekly Quest Bar restock on the way home, of course.

Spring-ish attire, day two.

Dinner of lazy folk champions.

(This was actually really good!)

Last but not last is the most special part of my weekend. This is Ayanda, the adorable little girl from Zimbabwe that I’m so blessed to sponsoring through Children’s Cup.
