I feel like I finally see the light at the end of the insane Q4 tunnel. My partnerships have all been posted, I hit my financial goal for the year last week and I’m winding down my content before my annual several week break that I truly always, always countdown to. I’m looking forward to some more quiet time at home before my last trip of the year and truly loving nesting and taking advantage of cozy season.

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

The Weekly Edit 12.12.25

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Went to see the Monet in Venice exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum and it was wonderful. Highly recommend checking it out before it closes in February.
• Made a batch of this delicious Sunday Chili (omitting the bacon) and ate it all week long. I also made Wishbone Kitchen’s Swamp Soup and it was so easy and perfect for this week’s chilly weather.
• Added more finds to the Holiday Outfits Shop and am seriously considering this dress and this stunner of a coat for myself!
• We’ve been SO busy with last minute hotel bookings for En Route to Rêverie clients for the holidays. We also began work on three different trips for April and May of next year. 2026, here we come! 

READ + LOOK + LOVE:

• Different ways to style a turtleneck.
• This story brought me to tears. When the internet proves to be a wonderful place.
• Europe’s best places for Apres Ski.
• Just another reason to love Delta!
• Tableside cocktails finally make their way stateside. (This is one of my favorite London traditions!!)
• Goodreads’ favorite books of 2025 revealed.
• How to take better care of your shoes.

SHOP AND LOOK LOVINGLY:

• Run, don’t walk to Toteme’s private sale!! My quilted jacket is included (I have the size S) and I nabbed the satin clutch that had been on my wish list all year long.
• And Sephora is doing 20% off your purchase with code SAVEGIFTS if you need some good beauty gifts or missed ordering a restock of something for yourself during the last sale. Need inspo? Check out my Sephora Sale Picks Guide. Ends Sunday and code can only be redeemed once per account FYI.
• My Shopbop Hearts have been freshly updated!
• In thrilling news, Fortnum & Mason is now at Nordstrom — no plane ticket to England required! This hamper would make such a darling gift.
• Dear Santa, this satin clutch, please.
• Lots of fun new colorways of Sambas spotted over on Nordstrom.
• An immediate yes to this cashmere striped knit from Aritzia. 
• Spotted: a belt that looks very similar to a Celine one I own but for 1/4 of the price.
• I have loved my Hatch Restore alarm clock for over five years – I truly cannot recommend it enough for better wake ups (I loathe using my iPhone alarm TBH after having this).  At the moment it is $20 off and I promise you’ll love it. Perfect gift to yourself to start off 2026 with better sleep habits.
• A chic bag for everyday use under $900.
• Loving this mesh bralette I got that’s equal parts comfortable yet supportive. Next on my list I want to try this one for travel days – it looks chic yet oh so comfy!
• I just picked up a few base layer workout tops from Spanx and was so happy with each of them. I got this cropped short sleeve tee, this cropped long sleeve top and this long sleeve top (size M in each). I find the fit on them really flattering.
• J.Crew is doing 30% off almost everything, even cashmere! 

NOTEWORTHY HOLIDAY FINDS:

• Just love the idea of a personalized candle as a thoughtful gift idea. 
• Match South is such a cute small business I just had put on my radar – they have adorable items for gifting but their vintage matchbook art is my favorite of the selection! Such a great way to have a personalized gift for someone without loads of effort tbh. I ordered the Ritz Paris print, obviously.
• Gift ideas for dog lovers.
• Delicious looking holiday cookies to try this month.
• And, if you want even more holiday cookie inspo, here are the NYT’s 29 best holiday cookie recipes.
