WEEK IN MY LIFE AT HOME ๐ก๐๐ booking our wedding venue, making bridesmaid boxes & plate wall install
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video chronicles a productive week in the creator's life as she works to re-establish her routine after an exhausting period of travel, specifically addressing what she calls "summertime sadness" or reverse seasonal depression. Her primary focus for the week involves completing several significant home projects and wedding preparations. A major highlight is the installation of a dramatic plate wall, which serves as a maximalist statement piece in her dining room; despite running out of plates mid-project and needing to order more from Facebook Marketplace, she successfully hangs them with help from her mother and aunt, who also receive needlepoint lessons during the process. Additionally, she finalizes custom needlepoint clutches for her bridal party, explaining that these bags were started before her engagement because they take months to stitch and arrive slowly, making them a meaningful gift rather than generic branded merchandise.
Throughout the week, the creator balances various professional commitments with personal care routines, including workouts, self-tanning sessions, and recording multiple podcast episodes featuring childhood friends and an etiquette coach. She shares details about her wardrobe choices, expressing particular enthusiasm for new denim shorts from Abberrombi that fit perfectly as she approaches her 29th birthday, while also humorously lamenting a stained tank top. Her excitement peaks when she receives a pair of elusive Gucci shoes purchased by her aunt through work connections at the brand, an event that brings her to tears with joy. The week culminates in the official signing of her wedding video agreement and preparations for an upcoming Stitch Tour stop in Chicago, where she plans to wear creative jewelry pieces from local designers like Liz G Carter.
As Friday arrives and the creator heads out to Chicago for the tour events, she reflects on a highly successful period filled with creativity, family bonding, and professional milestones. The narrative emphasizes her gratitude toward her support system, including her grandmother who helped stitch half of the bridal bags, her aunt's generosity regarding designer shoes, and her friends' enthusiasm during recording sessions. Despite minor setbacks like shrinking clothes or messy makeup moments due to tinted moisturizer mishaps, she maintains a positive outlook focused on finishing tasks before leaving for the city. The video concludes with her packing up after Saturday morning events in Chicago, ready to fly home while expressing deep appreciation for the community and friends who make these busy weeks enjoyable rather than overwhelming.

Heat.
Good morning. Happy Monday, y'all. It's
going to be a really good week in my
life at home. We also have some home
projects. I'm trying to really just get
back into my routine. We've had so much
travel. We're leaving again on Friday to
go to Chicago for the Stitch Tour, which
I'm really excited about. But I want to
get like back in my routine. I will say
like the summertime sadness. I have
reverse seasonal depression. So like I
feel it in the summer. It's really been
hitting me and I think it's also because
I'm exhausted and then I'm like not able
to get back into my routine and all the
things. So this week we are making that
a top priority. I also have a lot of fun
exciting things happening. We're also
doing the plate wall. Guys, seriously,
I'm going to die. Anyway, I need to
leave for my workout literally right
this second. I can show you guys what
I'm wearing. Um, my closet is like a
little bit of a mess, but it's just this
like cute little blue set from
Lululemon. I think it's the line line.
Um, but anyway, I'm going to go
weightlift and then get back and we are
going to have a productive, healthy,
nice week at home. All right, y'all. I'm
back from my workout. I just changed and
I have this. Okay, guys. Obviously, this
is not groundbreaking, but this yellow,
what do they call these? What neck? I
forget. From J. Crew. I've been living
in this. Anyway, it's Monday morning.
I've got a ton of calls today, but we
are starting off our morning very strong
this morning. I woke up again early,
started stitching, but I need to proof
watch the vlog. So, I'm going to sit
here and finish my bridal clutch. I need
to finish it this week because I want to
send out hopefully this week if I have
the time [clears throat]
um all of the purses to ask my bridal
party to be in my wedding. I would love
to do that this week and I think I can
finish it. I've really kind of like gone
through the last of it. These are from
Blue Canary. They're my favorite bags. I
stitched three and my grandma stitched
three for the bridal party. So, I need
to get this done so I can make like the
content around it cuz I want to like
take photos of all these together
because I worked very hard on them and
then I will ask them. We're also like
very far out for my wedding. So, we're
fine. Um anyway, I'm going to watch I
need to proof watch and give notes on
the podcast episode. So, I'm going to
sit here and just, you know, kill two
birds with one stone. Tonight, we have
the event for Harrison's collab, a
friend of mine, Harrison Wallace collab,
which I'm really excited for. We're just
getting to work.
>> Um,
[music]
the microphone
[music]
face.
[music]
>> [music]
>> Oh, are you really
>> [music and singing]
>> Hi y'all. I'm back from the event and
I'm sick. Okay, because this jacket I
just opened in the mail as soon as I got
home. Would have been the perfect thing
to wear tonight cuz it's literally this
collection like exactly the blue and
brown like oh my god would have been so
good. It's from Bowden. I'm really
really into Bowden pieces right now.
Anyway, um, tomorrow's a recording day.
So, I have three guests and then a
couple other things that I'm recording
just for myself or for house guests, but
like on my own. So, I need to get my
outfits good and ready to go and tan and
do all the things. I'm really happy with
the progress that I've made here. I
can't really stitch this tonight though
if I tan, I don't think. You know, but
it's looking good. I'm actually like
almost done, which is good cuz I need to
finish this. I know I already told you
guys this, but I'm feeling good about
that. Anyway, the event was so fun. It
was just such a good night with such
great girls and we had the best time.
Thank you to Savile for hosting. It was
seriously so much fun. But anyway, I
need to get to work.
This is a tried and true dress for me.
This reformation like red polka dot
dress. I do love her.
So, that might be a good one. Maybe for
[music] my etiquette coach. I feel like
that is good. We have an etiquette coach
coming on the podcast tomorrow. So, I'm
feeling really fabulous about [music]
that.
Um, I might wear I haven't worn [music]
this tank top on the pod. Oh, I hope
that this Oh god, I really hope this
didn't shrink.
It's like a baby doll top. Oh god, if
this shrunk, I'll be devastated.
Wow. Perfect. Okay, did it? Let's see. I
mean, it's a baby doll top anyway. No, I
think it's okay. Like I think that this
will be cute without this top on,
actually with these jean shorts. I
actually don't hate the idea of wearing
this.
I love the skirt that I got when we were
in Charleston from Hill House. And I got
the matching headband as well. [music] I
think I don't know if a headband is
calling my name tomorrow. It could be.
It could be, honestly. Um, but I wish
that I had
like a red top to really bring out the
red in this. I wish I had a good red
top. I just don't think that I do.
This could potentially be good. This
though, I just don't know if that's
going to
I don't know if that's really going to
do it for me.
I really like skirts like this, but it's
actually kind of weirdly hard to [music]
style cuz yeah, you can wear a tank top,
but I didn't love the tank top that I
wore. Oh, wait. Wait. Is this This is
yellow though. Oh, and I stained it.
[music] these tanks from Zara. They're
really inexpensive. They're so good. But
I stained it right there.
I'm like, could we cover it in the No,
it's literally on the side that you
would see. That's tragic. This could be
cute. But then am I like doing the most,
you know?
No, I like that. Okay. Okay. So, we're
good on that end. That's actually like
perfect.
This is my backup.
I actually kind of like the idea of this
together better. Like very casual.
Okay, these are my options. So, we're
good for tonight.
Normally, we start recording earlier,
but tomorrow we're starting at 10:00, so
I feel like I have the morning for me. I
[music] need to prep some stuff for
Harrison's club. It's like 8:30, so I've
got the night. need to prep some stuff
for lunch on Thursday [music]
and shower and self-tan and do my whole
routine and then I will talk to you guys
in the
>> [music]
[music]
>> I'm the kisser. I like sharing every
detail of the fact
that I was asking if her friends are
like You've never seen television.
>> Happy Tuesday. It's 7:30. I'm recording
today. We have three episodes. We have
Presley's one of my friends from
childhood. You guys have seen her in
vlogs. She's actually been on the
podcast before. It was a long time ago.
And then we have Jordan Sparks. And then
we have Carla Shalis who's like an
etiquette coach. And Presley's sister is
actually like my makeup artist, too. So,
she's coming over to do our makeup this
morning, which is so nice. But I do need
to redo my hair. But the tops of it look
good. The bottoms just kind of went
flat. And I think I'm going to do a
roller again to give myself some volume.
I finally finished Oh, sorry guys. I
finally finished that um needle project
this morning, the bag. So that way I can
send out and ask my bridesmaids this
week to be like a bridesmaid and then
we're good to go. That was really truly
a labor of love. like those bags are
beautiful, but like stitching all of
them. I only stitched three and then my
grandma stitched three to help me. And I
was like, look, that's all I need for my
wedding gift is you to help me stitch
these three bags. And we actually
finished them like so soon. We started
like before I got engaged cuz we didn't
know I was getting engaged. Um, and I
ordered them before cuz those bags take
forever to come in. Um, we both finished
them in like I think I finished
stitching them in like four 5 weeks.
That's really when I stopped doing whips
because I obviously couldn't show that.
But I do like I just love them and I
really wanted to give them something
that like was meaningful and that I put
a lot of effort into and not like junky
stuff, you know? Like I wanted it to be
something that like you would keep
forever that wasn't like branded almost
like to my wedding. You know what I
mean? Anyway, hold on. [music]
>> [music]
>> I don't even really know if these
rollers do anything once I've actually
like my hair is dry. Obviously, they
like do better whenever my hair is wet,
but
whatever. I think I'm just going to do
the front piece. And then when I'm
redoing my hair, I just go through and I
curl it again. And then yesterday, the
only the reason I feel like it fell a
little bit more besides it being so hot
out is because I didn't let it sit in
the like in the actual clips. I normally
let it sit. I'll curl it and let them
sit in these clips for a bit. Um, and
then I feel like it literally will not
ever go down, but I didn't give myself
much time to let them sit. So, updates
to come. All right, guys. We have our
glam. Yay. I'm so excited to be here.
Guess what has arrived. Pre's already um
seen this. I said I'm ruining her
surprise. I wish I would have done it
before. We have new house guest
stationary for the guest and it's so
beautiful. And then we have these little
like stamp that are like a fake wax
seal, but they're like stickers. How
convenient is that? Obsessed. So anyway,
I don't really vlog much on recording
days cuz we're obviously filming the
whole thing, but I'll show you guys a
little sneak peek. Wow, it looks so fab.
Perfect. It's 7:00 p.m. Finished the
recording day. Everyone has finally like
packed up and left and the house just
feels amazing. Charlie and I are going
to drink some wine. I'm setting up some
final stuff for Harrison's launch on
Thursday, which I'm so excited about,
guys. Like, these canvases are so I just
feel like we could not have done a
better job on this collection. Just like
it's perfect. Tomorrow is like playwall
day and I'm just like sitting here
literally just like dreaming about it.
Like how amazing and perfect is that
going to be? Literally perfect.
Absolutely perfect. But I recorded with
Presley, my childhood bestie. You guys
are going to love that episode. She's
doing like a gap summer 28. Recorded
with Jordan Sparks and then also Carla
Shell who's an etiquette coach and
they're so good. Like I'm just so proud
of where the podcast is going. Um also I
got glam done so like therefore I don't
want to take my makeup off. And Kristen
is just the best. Kristen Farah actually
Presley's older sister. She's so good.
Also, guys, I've really been liking my
like everyday jewelry. I also realized
like way too late that I didn't wear
earrings all day, which is like really
out of character. I always wear those
like pearl studs that I have. But this
bracelet, it's a Jenny Bird bracelet. I
just found it in my jewelry stash. I got
it last summer. I think I actually got
it on Nucket at their popup there or I
got it at their Dallas popup. Jenny Bird
is like one of my favorite jewelry
brands. They just have the best stuff.
Like their stuff is so good. this stuff,
like the tennis bracelet and the
matching necklace that I have is from
Ary. And then this one is Jenny Bird and
I just put it on here and like this for
me is like the perfect stack. I don't
want anything too crazy. Like maybe I'd
add one more thing or something. I don't
know. But I really like this stack and
I've been wearing jewelry really since
dating Charlie cuz he's like gifted me
jewelry and because he's given it to me
and it's been like nicer than the stuff
I would buy myself. It's made me like
commit to actually like wearing it daily
and it just makes me feel so much more
put together. Like I get the jewelry
girls now. Our friend Alexa wears like
stacks and stacks every day and I'm like
see that is like that to me like you
really have your life together cuz
you're not losing your jewelry every
second. You know what I mean? So anyway,
great week so far. I need to pour a
glass of wine. Oh, I finished my bridal
bag. I don't even know where. Let me
find it. Let me show you guys. I really
put my head down in the past like 48
hours and
she's done. She looks amazing. That's my
new That will be my new last name or
like however I decide to do it. Like I'm
taking his name, but I don't know like
what like what do you guys if you guys
are getting engaged like what are you
guys doing? The reason I don't feel one,
I have like plans for my last name, but
also I love my last name. My last name
is Piper and it's like my favorite name,
but also because I've gone by Kinsey
Elizabeth for so long. Like taking that
and like I have plans for the last name
anyway. So I don't like feel any type of
way really about it because I don't like
I would still go by Kinsey Elizabeth
professionally and that's my middle name
anyway. So like I'm doing it. But I'm
just curious what you guys are doing cuz
I totally understand like why I get the
push back and the not changing the name
and all of that if I didn't have like
the plans that I had. I think I would be
feeling maybe that. But anyway, love
this. Also, it's from Blue Canary.
Sorry. Um if I didn't say that, but it's
just like the cutest little needle point
clutch. My grandma went in and made um
backings too for this. So, she's going
to make me one so that nothing gets on
the white specifically, but I already
stitched one for myself. Thank god my
initials are staying the same um in
probably like December and it's
beautiful. No, it was January cuz it was
it was my dad's birthday. So perfect.
Like love that. So now I need to start
up my new project. I don't know when I'm
going to I'm kind of in the middle of
the jolly of the month, but also like I
don't want to Let me see when this vlog
goes up cuz maybe I could just show you
guys. No guys, sorry it's a little
early. Wait.
Oh yeah, we're good. It's out. I'll show
you guys. It's the birthday dolly. She's
everything. and I'm kind of obsessed
with her. So, I might switch that
tonight. We've been watching SVU as
always. We've also been watching a
little bit of Scandal. I'm really into
the Olivia. I'm obsessed with Olivia
Benson. Guys, we need to talk about
Olivia Benson because in the past like
year really. I was like in Nashville. I
feel like I got really hooked on SVU.
I've always watched SVU in my life, but
I don't know. There's just something
about Olivia Benson. Like we'll be out
and about like going and we're at
weddings, at friends places, like at
dinner at whatever. And like I'm always
like I just miss Olivia Benson. Like I
wish she was here. Like I feel like she
is my true real life friend. And I'm I'm
obsessed with that woman. Like oh my god
love her. And like she's not. She's like
I'm obsessed with like Marishka as well.
Like she is a real life person to me
because to me they're the same person in
real life. But I'm just obsessed. I
can't shut up. So it's like I could just
like stop bothering you guys and end the
clip.
[sighs]
But no, I need like a nice relaxing like
bathtub moment tonight. That's what I'm
looking at.
Good morning, y'all. [music] I'm getting
ready for workout. It's like 7. I
actually think I need to leave in 3
minutes, so that's good.
>> [music]
>> I'm back from my workout and I just have
to say this Jury sweater, I know it's
July, but probably my best purchase of
the summer. I know that these roll necks
are like nothing new. I don't think I
even got it until I put one on and I
just bought it cuz it's my favorite
color. And guys, I wear it literally all
the time. Like, it's so good. Also,
these are over here. These are the best
denim shorts I have ever worn. I will
have them linked. Like there is just
nothing like it. And it's so rare that I
like shorts. Like I feel like I like
shorts on me. I I finally have found the
right shorts. Um they're not too long.
They're not too short. They are
comfortable. They are curve love. So
they just like the fit. Everything about
them. Oh my god, they're so good.
They're from Abberrombi. So they're
actually like really a good price and
they have sales all the time. So anyway,
I just feel like I need to tell you guys
because they're the best. And I feel
like I'm turning 29 next week and this
is like truly the first time that I've
really liked denim shorts on me and it's
fully from this cut. Like they're so so
good. So anyway, big day today. Got some
meetings this morning. Um my new
assistant's on her way over and we're
going to handle a bunch of stuff. We
need to shoot some brand deals. Then I
have another meeting and then this
afternoon, it's really exciting. I've
been looking forward to this for the
longest time. This is the day that we
are finally putting up the plate wall
and then I think my aunt's coming over
and I think I'm teaching her and my mom
needle point. So really exciting things
happening. Um but anyway, I need to
actually like get going. Guys, I finally
got back the bags, guys. Look at how
amazing these are. I have three more,
but they're in their own bags. That's
Macy's. This is for Alexis. That's for
Dom. And then I have Molly's, my sister,
and my cousins in there. But they are so
perfect. So, we're going to wrap them up
and mill those off tomorrow. But today,
um, this afternoon, we're starting on
the plate wall, which is really just so
exciting. We have a bunch of plates over
there. We have
somewhere we have like the plate things
that we use to hold them or to hang them
all up. And we're going to start on this
project and it's going to be so
beautiful and so perfect. Also, the rug,
I got this from Lumo. It's the nicest
rug I've ever owned. But guys, like it
is beautiful. Like there is such a
difference between like a really nicer
rug and I've never really like invested
in a nicer one and this one I'm loving.
But anyway, we're doing a plate wall.
This is also a really inexpensive way to
decorate your space because you can
thrift. I know I've already said this,
but you can thrift all of your plates
and then the hangers are not super
expensive and they're just perfect.
[music]
sort of like the cream the cream in it.
It's really simple. They don't
understand what really is. But I'm going
to turn, [music] you know, like from my
closet room.
[music]
I kind of went more on that side so you
can see it. Okay. So maybe we'll start.
[music]
Um
like do you see the space between that
to that or is [music] it just
Oh.
Okay, so I'm making a lunch right now.
I've mentioned this before, but this is
my current favorite cookbook. It's so
good. I got it cuz Charlie loves
Mediterranean food [music] and he's very
healthy and it's like high protein. But
this one dish, lemony chicken bake.
They're just chicken thighs. It is so
good. I made it for my friends when they
came over for dinner recently. And then
I'm also going to make I don't know if
I'll make this right. I probably will
actually need to the ricotta stuffed
eggplant rolls. They're so good. So
anyway, I'm going to get to work. 450,
425, whatever. I'll figure it out. It's
so good. Also, like very, very easy, but
so good.
Yeah. No.
>> [music]
>> I'm going to be amazing.
Best chicken thighs. You have to make
them. [music]
[music]
How amazing does this look? Like
actually incredible.
>> Oh, it it's looking amazing. That looks
I like that.
>> Do you?
>> Yeah. Guys, it is 800 PM now. The plate
wall just wow.
It looks insane. Like, it actually looks
really, really crazy on camera. It's
really a statement. I'm obsessed with
it. Like, it's so fun. This is, you
know, maximalist core, but it just looks
so cool. And when you walk into the
house and then you see the plate wall,
you're just like, "Oh my gosh." Like, it
looks insane. My aunt, my mom came over
and I gave them a little needle point
lesson. they started on their projects
and then I was giving them a little
needle point show and tell. So, I still
haven't finished this one and then this
one is going to go with that. I've
already showed you guys that, but it
really looks amazing. I mean, I hope I
don't ever get to the point where I'm
like, "Oh, it's way too busy and like
stressing me out." But like, I'm just
obsessed. Like, it looks so good. Oh my
god, it looks amazing. I did have to
order two like orders of plates on
Facebook Marketplace and corer them
throughout the day cuz we didn't have
enough. And then of course there's a
couple that I still want to like fix and
do. And also we need to like redo those
two because they're on tape and we need
to get smaller actual like plate hangers
for them. But overall they look unreal.
Happy Thursday guys. I went to a sculpt
class this morning. Showered. Just gave
myself a blowout so quickly. It's not my
best work. And got ready. Today is
Harrison's launch day for the needle
point club. It's actually in like 5
minutes. So, I need to get ready.
Actually, we are ready, but I need to
like get on my computer and start all
the things. And then I'm going on a
garden show today at 11:00 and then
we're coming back and I need to film a
ton of like content that I needed to get
done and then also prep for Chicago
because Charlie and I leave for Chicago
tomorrow. We have an event in the city
and then we have a popup the next day
and then we're flying back home
Saturday, thank God, to be just back
here. So anyway guys, also just like
this morning, the best part is when you
leave the house and then you walk back
in it and you see the plate wall again.
Like guys, are you guys ready for this?
Okay, get it. Get the vision. Get the
vision. Okay. Wow.
How insane is this? Okay. Or picture
this. We're back here. We're walking
through. We're walking through this way.
Okay. Walking through.
Oh, hey Kenzie. Thanks for having me
over at your dinner party. Blah blah
blah. Walking. Bam. How insane. I'm just
in love with this. I need to add some
stuff right there. And then um we have
one that's going to go up there, but we
were out of the little hanger thing. I
am so happy. My mom did most of it. She
left last night finally and then I
finished the rest. My aunt came over and
I was giving her a needle point lesson.
It was a whole thing. Anyway, like this
is just everything. It's very, you know,
Maxima's core, but I just love it. We
have one Mackenzie Child's up there. I
do feel like it kind of looks out of
place, but it's the only I just needed a
big plate that would work. Um, but I
just love this. Okay, I'm back from the
Garden Show. First off, guys, obsessed
with them and it was the coolest office.
It was just so cool. They have like
patented a bunch of like gardening stuff
and they just do so many like genius
things. Like they have some sort of app
or some sort of program. I don't know. I
need to like get into reading this stuff
that will tell you with gardening like
Charlie would be your dream. It's like,
"Hey, the weather's going to hit this.
Like, bring your plants inside. Do
that." Like, it's genius just based off
your zip code. So, it'll give you
alerts. But also, they're the first
gardening company. They They said that
they're more like a self-care company,
but it's gardening that like is covered
by insurance. So, it's like all wellness
practices that are proactive, reactive.
Like, it's actually just talking to
them, I was like, "This is genius." And
I loved it. So, anyways, we made a
little herb garden. They have their
container gardens in here. This is an
outdoor bag, so we can go put this
outside. We have What else? What else
did we get? Thyme. Um,
oh, the organic lemon verbana. I'm
really excited about that stuff because
it smells amazing. It's going to be good
cuz I love cooking with lemon. Um, what
is this?
We have sage.
I think I'm forgetting something.
>> I'm holding in my dad joke so bad.
>> What?
>> What time is it? Do you got the time?
What?
>> You got the time.
>> You got time.
>> What do you mean?
>> You've literally got time. So, I was
going to say
>> time like the I was thinking.
>> There you go.
>> Got it.
>> We got to me, Charlie. Okay, here is the
gift that they gave. They said that in
here it'll explain that stuff that I was
trying to explain to you guys. Oh, wait.
How cute. Magazines probably.
There's my new queen. I'm obsessed with
her. So, I can learn more. I'm just so
interested. Like, it really is. I didn't
even know we had a DCEO. Is this a
different edition of D magazine? Do you
see what I'm saying? I don't know.
Anyway, very, very cool. Her name's
Donna. She's amazing. And then also,
they have this stuff that they have me
water with. It's herb serum. So, you put
it in like your little water thing. And
then, welcome to growth garden. So, I
can use like the QR code that they're
giving me. You can set up your garden
and then you customize all the stuff,

>> That would be very cool. And then we
have a little tropical desktop garden.
so cute because there's like all of this
is backed by science. So, it was
something about how like having a plant
on your desk like benefits your like
overall well-being and all this stuff.
So, you have this little thing to take
care of. Charlie loves to take care of
the plants. So, you can have it when we
share a desk like when we move into the
office, but this is so perfect. And then
she was saying for indoor plants to
water them, you just go and you submerge
it in water to like water it underneath.
And then we have this little mister so
everyone you can like mist your plants
in the tropical serum. How cute. This is
so nice. And they gave me a t-shirt.
Getting dirty on purpose garden. Guys,
it was really really cool. Like it was
one of those things where I was like I
wish I was here for 3 hours. Like
Charlie, you would have loved it going
and learning. That's what I kept saying.
I was like, "Oh, he would literally love
this." It was so so so cool. Like so
cool. So anyway, really excited about
that. Really happy. Cannot wait. This is
beautiful. So cool. I want to do stuff
with them and like events and stuff
where like you guys come in and we like
create a little like herb garden and you
just learn so much. It's really cool.
It's so therapeutic. So anyway, my new
assistant, she's coming over and we are
going to shoot a bunch of stuff. Charlie
having this very exciting meeting at 3.
And today's a very, very productive day.
All right, guys. We are signing our
wedding video. Very exciting.
>> How come you got the button?
>> Do you want to?
>> Well, we can't go back now. That's fine.
I'll just live with it.
>> Okay.
Are you ready? You want to hit finish?
>> I mean, we just do it at the same time.
>> Three, two, one.
slagging a little. [laughter]
Yay.
>> Awesome.
>> Perfect. Are you so happy?
>> Yeah, I'm pretty damn good.
>> Were you worried I was going to like
leave or something?
>> Yeah.
>> Until just now?
>> You still could? I'm still nervous.
>> The agreement has been signed
successfully.
>> Yeah. [applause]
>> Let's go.
>> All right, y'all. We are in the middle
of making my bridesmaid's baskets. We
just reorganized and did the laundry
room, which is amazing. But these are
what I did for my bridesmaids. I
stitched them each a needle point blue
canary bag, which I could only do
because I kept my party very small. But
I love these. I just finished that one
earlier as you guys saw. Here's the
actual visual of all of them. That's
Maddiey's, Macy's, Dom's, Alyssa. Sorry,
that's Alexis, my sister. Alyssa, my
cousin, and Molly. I love them. And
they're all It's fun because like my
sister, actually my family in general is
like more like neutralish colors. Like
these two colors are way more of my
sister, my cousin. That's way more of my
substitute Alexis. And then that's very
Dom, very Macy. And this is really cute.
For Molly, I liked doing these colors a
little bit more because I one I just
obsessed with this. Like this color
combo, especially with the blue canary
bag, is so good. I just love the colors.
Like they're so perfect and fun. And it
actually kind of reminds me of Molly
like when I first met her when we were
like 16. So anyway, I just love these
clutches. They're so fun. And I wanted
to give them something that they could
actually like have and use that wasn't
like, you know, branded to my wedding or
something like that. So anyway, that's
what we're doing. We're making little
boxes and then just doing notes, keeping
it very simple. But I love them.
We are doing my bridesmaid ass right
now. I am going to have two made of
honors. Shocker, guys. Please like,
guess in the comments below. I stitch
them as you guys saw all of their custom
little needle point bags and then I put
them in their dust bags and then I wrote
a nice little note for them. I'm going
to wrap them, put some ribbon on them,
and then we're going to mail them out. I
am even mailing out the ones that live
here, my families, because like listen,
it's just they all need to get them
around the same time. So, that's what
needs to happen. Now, I'm kind of like
I'm worried that like someone's going to
get
the wrong one. Can you imagine how
embarrassing after [laughter] all that
work? So, to answer questions cuz I
already know people are going to be
like, "How do you stitch that all?"
Like, we did start doing these before I
got engaged. Like I knew I was getting
engaged obviously and like I knew that
the ring was there. So at that point
like to get these bags painted takes
like 12 weeks and then to stitch them
takes more months. So my grandma and I
split them up. I stitched three plus my
bridal bag. She stitched three. We
actually finished them like really
quickly. I think I finished all three of
them in like 5 weeks or something. It
was when I was like in Greece like was
that May? So I I did them all in May. We
were done by the time I even got
engaged. Like I thought for sure we
would have need until July. Hi bud. He
loves the camera. Anyway, so we have all
these. I'm going to wrap them up and
then I'll show you guys when we're done,
but guys, it's going to be bad.
[music]
We are now doing something I've been
meaning to do, which is switch these
dining tables out. We have a new one
coming. This one is just too big, too
tall, and then the legs are on I don't
know if they marked this. It's a
beautiful table, but it doesn't work.
The legs are out here, so it just makes
it really annoying with the chairs. I
got a new one from Wayfair that has the
chairs in the middle. I've told you guys
about this problem. So, I'm going to
have Charlie set that up and move it
over. And then I'm going to list this on
Marketplace. I've been a big marketplace
girl this week. I'm always a big
marketplace girl. Who am I kidding? But
[music] anyway, it's I think it's going
to be so much better. I really hope so
because we work at this table all the
time, too. And now that the team's
growing, like we need we just need it to
work better. But I cannot get over the
plate wall. I'm obsessed. All right,
y'all. I'm watching Kylie Kelsey's
podcast. I'm actually about to turn on
Morgan Stewart's podcast. My current
favorite outside of the world's first
podcast as always. My makeup looks so
messed up today cuz I did it on like a
weird tinted moisturizer. I don't know
what happened there. Anyway, it's now
5:30. I'm about to cook us some chicken
th What was that? Cook us some chicken
thighs. Very productive day. I need to
pack for Chicago. I need to edit like
seven videos, half of which I need to
send in. I need to pay some bills. I
need to just there's I have a long long
list of things that I need to get done.
I need to self-tan. As soon as that's in
the oven, I'm showering and selftanning
and have a fabulous night. You know, I
really am so grateful. Like, I am so I
just feel so lucky. This week when I was
recording with Presley, I was like,
"Okay, we're like the cheesiest people
in the entire world, so I'm actually
going to stop." But anyway, just a good
week.
You want to say
[music]
Guys, I just got the craziest text from
my aunt. I'm mid packing for Chicago and
she was like, "Hey, background. She
works at Gucci, so she gets like insane
deals all the time." And she was like,
"Okay, so these shoes have been missing.
They've been gone forever. Like, we
can't get them in stock. We ended up
getting them, blah blah blah, whatever."
She was able to like buy them. And she's
like, "So, I got you these shoes, guys.
They are these shoes." Like, I'm
actually brought to tears. Like, oh my
god, they're literally so perfect. Oh my
god, they're amazing. Like, [laughter]
she's also the reason that I have those
Gucci chairs. If you guys didn't know,
she got those like majorly discounted
and I like just literally dream come
true.
I'm packed. I'm tanned. Charlie just set
up the new dining table. And I think
like Okay, the old one. Yes. I think it
looked prettier. I just fear that with
these edges, like does this look too
like like a picnic table almost, like a
corporate table. You know what I mean?
The thing is it gives us a lot more room
in this room, which is what was needed,
especially as the plate wall just gets
busier. I feel like I'm just
overthinking it because a lot of people
have dining tables that look like that.
I don't know why the tablecloth will not
sit still or sit flat, but it is better.
And also the lip like goes over the
couch a lot more. And I'm going to raise
this by 2 in. I'm actually going to add
antique looking um wheels to attach to
this. My mom had them on a couch forever
ago and they looked amazing cuz when you
have a skirt like that, it would look
weird if I had anything besides wheels.
The wheels are going to look really nice
on this couch and then you can lock them
so they don't move. But I that's going
to be like a really cool addition to
this room. Anyway, just this is my vlog
shot all week. It's literally just right
here. Hi y'all. It's Friday. We made it
to Chicago. We are running off to a
little sip and shop early event for our
tour stop tomorrow and then we have that
in the morning. I'm going to be vlogging
a little bit. Like not anything. I feel
like it's getting a little too
repetitive for you guys, but we'll vlog
a little bit.
>> [music]
>> You're so
[music]
All
>> [music]
>> right, y'all. It is now Saturday. Um, we
just packed up the room because we are
going to the cage tour event and then we
are flying out right after. Here's what
I'm wearing. We are in city 305 going
very strong with my dolly necklace. This
is from Liz G. Carter on Instagram. She
makes the most creative pieces that I'm
just obsessed with. They're definitely
they're like kind of camp. Like they're
definitely more out there obviously. Um
but she's just been such a good hit on
tour. I wasn't even planning on wearing
it for even the stops or every stop and
like now I'm like I have to wear it to
all five of the stops. I'm just obsessed
with her. She does a ton of stuff. Like
she'll do like plate walls, not plate
walls. Sorry. Why is it so dark guys?
What's happening? Um she'll do like
plate belt buckles. She does lots of
necklaces. It's just like the coolest
stuff ever. So anyway, this is my look
and we are heading out right now. I'm
really excited. Last night the event was
so fun. The Chicago girls always really
like show up and show up for me. You
guys are so nice. I don't know. Like
there's just so many of you guys in
Chicago. And I don't know if it's
because of like my high school days in
Chicago. Like if you were here, you
know, you know, or what, but like even
when I was doing live shows here, it's
just like the best crowd. So many more
people than I would have ever expected.
Like I'm just so grateful. You guys are
so nice. Like every time it's so fun. I
like going to the events cuz I feel like
I'm just like making new friends. And it
was really cool. They have I think it's
Oldtown Stitch Club. I don't know the
neighborhoods here well at all, so if
I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but like one of
the stitch clubs here. It's so cool what
they've done. They're only like 6 months
old. So if you guys live in Chicago and
you're looking for a stitch club, I was
meeting so many of the girls from that
stitch club and they're like the best.
Like I would be in this if I lived here.
So anyway, um we are heading off. Haley
and I I didn't vlog this morning, but
Haley and I, who is our creative
director, we went and got blowouts at
like 8 a.m. So it's a great way to start
off the day. But anyway, we are
officially finally heading off. I got an
iced latte, which like normally when I
get drinks like this, like it makes me
have a heart attack and I'm like one sip
in. Heart attack. It's coming. It's
really coming, but it tastes good. So,
>> whatever.
>> Time to go.
>> Okay, guys. I have to go now. Charlie's
making me
>> [music]
>> Sorry.
[music]
Yeah.

stuff because [music] right now
