Hi there!

Following my last post with comfy wear-at-home looks for self isolating whether you’re working from home or just going about your day, I wanted to add this gorgeous Spell piece to my blog. I’m obsessed with their recent “seashell collection” (I blogged about my seashell dress in sand recently) since I love everything ocean themed so I picked up the seashell robe. Here I am doing some work at home in my seashell robe. I even sat in my shell chair!

I love that it’s short unlike other robes of mine, so I styled it with my fave oldie but goodie Free People Movement joggers (they have many similar pairs online currently)!

Hope you’re staying safe and comfy!

Xo,

Carolina

Hi there! 

I've just returned from a fabulous Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) weekend retreat at Sky Lake Lodge meditation center. It gave Francisco and I the opportunity to take time away from the busy city to do yoga, meditate, and reflect to de-stress and cultivate Mindfulness as we transition into fall. Sometimes weekend adventures I find to be just as valuable and exhilarating as a long vacation. 

On this retreat I wore my new Free People movement line "Karma Tank" (shown above and now on sale) amongst other FP Movement and Free People pieces. Another item I purchased recently and used on the retreat was their meditation spray, a part of a whole new beauty line they are now selling in stores and online. I was first introduced to their new body products and newer FP Movement pieces at a "Movement is Free" yoga event I was invited to and attended a few weeks ago in SoHo.

Check out some photos from that fabulous event below! Thank you to the FP corporate team for the wonderful event (your events are always the best)!  

Xo, 

Carolina
