I flew home from London earlier this week after such a wonderful trip and then enjoyed a cozy week at home. The leaves on the trees outside my window are now all gone and it (along with the cold snap) was a stark reminder that winter is coming. As such I am looking forward to cozy meals with friends and nesting and this weekend I’ll be spending it with family in the neighborhood.

I hope you enjoy this week’s edit and have a wonderful weekend! 

The Weekly Edit 12.5.25

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Ordered all my holiday cards! I always do one set for my business and one set for my personal cards – both from Minted. 
• I also got my first Christmas tree in over five years. My work schedule often doesn’t allow me to do so but with my (almost) three weeks at home this month, I couldn’t resist revisiting this favorite tradition. 
• I was thrilled to work on a fun video project for Caudalie while I was in London that you can see HERE. What an honor it is to work with the brand and if you’d like to support my work you can do so via shopping my favorite serum. It is holy grail and something I wear every single day – it’s truly changed my skin for the better.
• I wrapped + delivered my New York Cares Winter Wishes gifts for three children. 
• Had great meals with girlfriends at L’Artusi and Swoony’s.

• Calling all 2026 brides- this dress is perfection for a rehearsal or bridal shower moment!! (And I just ordered this dress from the same label – so chic).
• I recently got given this gorgeous tray by a brand as a thank you and I am in love with it. I have matches in it but feel like it could be so great for jewelry, too.

NOTEWORTHY HOLIDAY FINDS:

• I just love the idea of a personalized olive oil bottle as a gift! So thoughtful and just very useful, too.

WITWHIMSY20 will. give you 20% off all single products and their beautiful Christmas gift sets.
