Happy Sunday and welcome to my Sunday Faves. Who’s more fun Steve Cordony or Sandra Sallin? Both! Today I am joining my pals Annie and Mary Ann for our Sunday favorites. Let’s get right to it.
I spotted this cape (on super sale) at Madewell and I knew it had to be the base of my outfit of the week. It is reversible ladies! I paired it with an inexpensive lands end turtleneck, the fabulous faux leather leggings from Lysee, my fave gentle souls booties, a gigi pip hat, a great Everlane bag, and some earrings from Etsy. How fun is that? All items are linked below the graphic.
OUTFIT OF THE WEEK
HOW TO PROPERLY CLEAN YOUR MICROWAVE
This article from Cooking Light got my attention. Does anyone else need proper tips on cleaning your microwave? Check out this article from Cooking Light here.
STEVE CORDONY ON INSTAGRAM
STEVE CORDONY ON INSTAGRAM
Is anyone else obsessed with Steve Cordony’s IG account? It never disappoints.
PREPPY EMPTY NESTER
Did anyone else miss “Katy’s” humor over the summer? I meant to post this last week. Katy’s account of her annual physical here is hilarious.
SANDRA SALLIN
Do you follow my pal Sandra on Youtube? If you don’t you should. Who is more fun than Sandra? For more fun, you will want to follow her on Instagram as well.
BRAND AMBASSADORSHIP WITH GIGI PIP
I wanted to let you know that I will be partnering with one of my favorite hat makers Gigi Pip. The hat that I am most asked about is their Wren hat. I love the fact that it has a strap (it gets pretty breezy here quite often), and it is casual enough you can wear it with almost anything. It comes in multiple colors. I have the brown on order.
Well, that’s it from my desk this week. Mary Ann and Howard were so kind to drive all the way up here to visit Steve and me last weekend. We had such fun and didn’t take a single photo, can you believe it? Mary Ann did a post on our home last week on her blog that you might enjoy reading here. They are back in Florida now. As always, you can find all of my Sunday favorites here. Thank you for reading Who’s more fun Steve Cordony or Sandra Sallin? Now let’s pop over and visit Mary Ann and Annie for more fun.
CLASSIC CASUAL HOME
MOST LOVELY THINGS
Please note that your leggings are NOT vegan leather. They are 100% polyurethathane. Vegan leather does exist but it is very expensive and rare. Hermes is working with scientists to perfect its manufacture from mushrooms.
Hi there
I corrected it. Thank you.
Love Sandra … and Steve! And that Madewell cape. Oh, and the hats. Love everything … per usual. xo
Hi Juliet
That Madewell cape is a deal!
Love the hat, the outfit, and of course Sandra. So nice you and Mary Ann got to visit, enjoyed seeing your beautiful home on her post.
Hi Barb
Mary Ann and I always have fun together. I am looking forward to visiting her in Florida once my husband retires!!
Good morning Cindy,
I love Steve, wouldn’t it be amazing to be at one of his workshops?
As for Sandra, an amazing lady, artist and now internet star. Love her too! I need her to give me lessons on make-up.
Your outfit is perfect for Fall, a plaid cape gets me every time. In fact I had that in my cart.
Have w great week!
Hi Elizabeth
Yes, that would be fabulous! Sandra has taught me what little I know about makeup. Not my strong point for sure!
Hi Cindy,
I subscribe to Sandra’s YouTube account. She is so enjoyable to listen to and I love her makeup tips for the crowd over 60. Katy of Preppie Empty Nester is also a favorite. Her posts always have me laughing.
Have a wonderful week. I’m seeing some great signs of fall around here, like cooler nights. So much better to sleep in.
Karen B.
Hi Karen
I think it is going to heat up here again this weekend, so I bet you will be feeling it as well. Sandra is wonderful with makeup!
I love Steve’s account! And of course Sandra is amazing. I think I need that hat!! Happy Sunday
Hi Jennifer
Sandra is the coolest, isn’t she?
Well, I guess I need the WREN hat! If you are partnering with the company, what does that mean to those of us who would want to purchase? A commission for you, discount for us, what please (you know Wildflower Women carries that line)? I am another reader who cannot see the outfit of the week but the pictures of Steve Cordonay’s interiors came through. I love his use of white, especially the dining table setting. So fresh and elegant. Sandra is adorable – I hope that isn’t an insult to her.
Hi Wren
You totally need the Wren hat! I will let you know what it means as I do all that is required of me!! Haylie B also handles the hats. I will be wearing a new one in our fall fashion issue on Thursday!
Outfit of the week is missing for me as well. I will try IG. One of my favorite features, so it’s rather a mystery.
Hi Marcie
Please let me know if you are seeing it now. I think I have it fixed!!
Hi Cindy! Your Outfit of the Week picture didn’t show up on my iPad, either. I use the Feedly app to compile the blogs that I read and the picture is missing. I also checked it in my Safari browser, and the picture doesn’t appear there, either. Today is the first that I’ve had an issue viewing your pictures. Don’t you just love technology?
Hi Barb
I hope you are able to see it now. Please let me know if you cannot. I linked to it in the wrap up mailer as well. Technology can be irritating for sure! Thanks for your patience!
Cindy! As always a post full of good stuff and high energy! Always leaves me feeling happy! I love that hat, you are a natural in a good hat! And I love your outfit of the week. So happy Mary Ann and Howard got to visit you and Steve, but I’m so jealous! haha
xx
Hi Annie
You need to bring Brent out to visit!
You are the best!!! Thank you for linking my YouTube and Instagram accounts. You are so thoughtful and generous and cool. You know I love your blog and your suggestions. Always top notch.
Thank you.
Hi Sandra
Hope it will bring you some new followers!! You know you are my idol!!
Love the Cordony vignette with the black table. Stunning! Wondering if anyone else is bothered by the vacant space in the center. Is this style of arranging a new thing?
Hi Constance
I really love it as is. I sometimes overdo a vignette and go back and edit! Sometimes less is more, but not always!!
The outfit of the week did not show up on this latest post. I did few it on the P for pinterest dot in the corner but I’m not on this site. I just hope in the future you can post the weekly outfit on the regular blog, that is my favorite.. Thanks
Hi Joan
I hope you were able to get the outfit of the week. I emailed you the link. It is so odd that it showed up for some and not for others!! I believe all can see it now. The Madewell cape was such a great buy this week. I hope you were able to get it!
Weirdly, the graphic of the OOTW didn’t load on either my iPhone or my laptop. All other images did. Thanks!
Hi Sarah
I hope everyone can see it now. That is the second time I have had an issue with my post disappearing. I have a technician working on it!!
Nice post Cindy! Glad you got to visit with Mary Ann and Howard for a little bit. They are so far away! Bet you guys had a ball!
Love the hat, you always look so stylish. How cool that you are partnering with the company now.
Enjoy the week. We finally have rain, hurray!

Heidi
Hi Heidi
We did not get much rain here darn it!! Thanks Heidi!
Katy is always a good read from her Amazon picks to book suggestions. Just popped over to Steve’s IG account and what a dream. Already plotting updates to my coffee table. Thanks as always for a great week of posts! You always have such great ideas…
Hi Holly
Isn’t Steve so amazing? I am in awe of his work! Thanks for always being so supportive!!
On Sundays I always look forward to reading your post and Mary Ann’s and Annie’s. I seem to always find something “I really need/want! Enjoyed Mary Ann’s post on her visit. In her post you had on a flower midi skirt. Where did
you buy that?
P.S. I was able to order an antique a pickling jar from Austria on etsy. Love it!
Hi Roberta
You will love the picking jar. They are so versatile. I use mine all the time. The skirt is from Antro. Here is the link

Thank you for reading!
Thanks for introducing me to Katy and of course, I love our friend Sandra. Always lots of fun things when I visit you here. xoxox, Brenda
Thank you for introducing me to Steve’s IG account. Love it!
I love Sandra Salin and Preppy Empty Nester Katie/Melinda! Her description of the Medicare physical is spot on! All it takes is a 65th birthday to go from grown up to geezer! I was very glad that a friend had prepared me for the experience.
Sandra is the best!! I was just looking at the pathetic straw hat I’m taking to watch a football game. I’m ordering a Gigi Pip hat!!
I love Sandra! I had non idea about Steve and just did a deep dive on his accent. Wowsers.. He’s good! What an amazing home. I’m officially obsessed. I also love this outfit and this could not have come at a more perfect time… It’s beautiful and cool here. Yay for pretty wraps and cute boots. You always mix things so beautifully. I need all these pieces..Have a great week Cindy.
I meant NO idea..
