Julia’s Weekly Whims: Volume 1

What's been on my mind & in my carts this week.

Welcome to the first edition of Julia’s Weekly Whims! Each week, I’ll share ten things on my mind—a blend of discoveries, obsessions, musings, and little joys that are shaping my days. Think of this as a peek into moments of my life, where practicality meets a dash of whimsy. From products I’m eyeing to books I’m devouring, this space is meant to feel like a clever conversation with a friend. Let’s dive into this week’s picks:

1. This toothbrush is living up to its name.
The Better Brush might be the chicest toothbrush ever designed. It’s sleek and comes in so many fun color ways and prints. Bonus points for looking fabulous on the counter—even if my kids insist on swiping it for themselves.

2. Fourth Wing’s newest book is here.
Onyx Storm just landed on my doorstep, and I’ve been savoring every page.I preordered it last spring, and it’s worth the wait (although, I’ve been trying to refresh my memory on the previous books).

3. Raffia Mary Janes? Yes, please.
These raffia flats feel like the perfect mix of Parisian chic and springtime nostalgia. I pre-ordered them just last week, and now I’m daydreaming about wearing them on sunny afternoon strolls—preferably with a crisp white blouse and a basket bag in tow.

4. Personalized glitter bookmarks for the win.
Leave it to Etsy to deliver yet again. These personalized bookmarks are pure Kindergarten Valentine’s Day perfection. I opted for the version with each girls’ name on them in purple.

5. Valentine’s sweatshirts my girls adore.
Speaking of Valentine’s, these name sweatshirts are adorable and I picked up two in pink for my girl’s Valentine’s day baskets.
