The return from two weeks in Paris, jet lag combined with daylight savings and the battling of a cough did.me.in this week. I was struggling big time. But alas it is Q4 and I have so many responsibilities and deadlines and therefore there is no rest for the weary as I’m sure so many of you can relate to this time of year!

We’ve got our first Noteworthy Holiday inclusion happening in this week’s edit and I am so happy to be getting into the holiday spirit. I hope you enjoy this week’s edit and have a wonderful weekend! 

The Weekly Edit 11.7.25

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Shared my next 40 in 40 episode!
• All my Shopbop Hearts are updated.
• Shared little moments of my Paris trip that I loved.
• Broke down how I’d spent $500 (and $750) at the Sephora Sale. 

READ + LOOK + LOVE:

• How to find more time to read books.
• The best bagels in New York City.
• A must-visit bakery in London.
• How to start when you feel stuck.
• These are the world’s best 50 hotels. 
• Easy pasta recipes for weeknight dinners.
• How to romanticize your life.

NOTEWORTHY FINDS TO SHOP:

• My favorite bra brand of nearly a decade – I truly swear by their bras as someone with a larger chest – Simone Perele – just issued me a limited time code for you guys to get 15% off your orders!!! This is my favorite t-shirt bra (followed by this one I also own) and then this is the only strapless bra I’ve worn for years and years. I basically buy a new one every two years and own multiple colors. The brand rarely ever goes on sale so this is a great opportunity to re-up or try it at last. I can’t say enough good things – beautifully made, comfortable and supportive.  They also have so many cute pajamas and matching lingerie sets worth browsing, too!
• COS new arrivals are so, so good. Favorites I saw include these boots, this suede bucket bag, this jacket, this cashmere sweater and this gorgeous coat.
• An immediate yes to the new chocolate brown shade of the Spanx Air Essentials Half Zip I love + I added the matching pants to my order, too. (There are also leggings in the new shade!)
• Here are the October’s bestsellers. Did you buy any of these recommendations of mine!?
• Veronica Beard just added loads to their sale including this chic blazer I own (size 8) and this darling tweed jacket I’ve been eying. Most of the sale is not final sale like a lot of their promotions fyi! 

NOTEWORTHY HOLIDAY DISCOVERIES:

• The best eats at Bryant Park’s Winter Village this year.
• Mom’s Christmas Stockings is a charity I’ve supported for many years and they have their Amazon Wish List published if you’d like to join me in contributing to this wonderful cause.
• You can access the U Beauty Black Friday savings early when you use my code MEGHANDONO now as you’ll score 20% off – the products are $$ but so good and 20% off is a great savings. (And if you spend over $400 you get an additional gift, too!) The sets are the best IMO because you can try a variety of SKUs at an additional savings.
• LAKE just launched their Holiday Shop and there are so many cute styles! I ordered these for my nephew and these for my new little niece immediately. 
• And Hotel Lobby Candle dropped their holiday collection and you know I immediately ordered the new Holiday in New York candle and the OG Holiday candle as it is one of my favorites for the season.
• I think this Jane Pope fingerprint necklace is such a sweet and thoughtful gift to give a mom in your life.
