What.a.week. I feel so depleted. I was called a litany of ugly names this week and lost over 300 IG followers for standing up for basic human rights and decency and empathy and compassion and I just feel despair for the state of our country. I’m tired. But I’m not giving up hope or the belief that we can make change. If you, too, are tired – I see you.
I’m happy that the next item on my 40 in 40 list that I’m tackling – one I’ve been so looking forward to – is this weekend. It’s given me something exciting to plan for and feels particularly well timed. More to come on that front soon.
I hope you enjoy this week’s edit and have a wonderful week – take care of yourselves xx.
The Weekly Edit 1.30.26
WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:
- Because it has been SO, SO cold – I put together all my favorite winter survival kit items so-to-speak into one handy place. For everyone else experiencing a very cold winter atm – stay warm, friends!! (See also: Mastering Cozy Season!!)
- Made these favorite high protein enchiladas – a favorite comfort food of late. And I also made this kale couscous salad which was so easy and so delicious and this quinoa thai inspired salad that was great as well (I subbed in peanuts for the cashews!)
- Shared my 2026 wish list. I always love putting this post together each year!
- Shared a peek at some of the work we’re currently doing for my travel Atelier, En Route to Rêverie.
- Shared wardrobe staples I recommend again and again. Shop them all HERE.
READ + LOOK + LOVE:

SHOP AND LOOK LOVINGLY:
- The Veronica Beard new arrivals are phenomenal including this great blazer, these darling flats, this chic halter top and I was so excited they brought back the Daniela jean at last! I’ve worn my pair from 2024 so, so much but they sold out quickly so I was thrilled to see them restocked. Highly recommend them – the brand’s denim is so good! TTS – I wear a 28.
- My Shopbop hearts are updated! A few standouts include these cute earrings now on sale, this versatile jacket, this puffer jacket now on sale and this chic bag.
- Loving this cardigan and this tweed jacket from Rag & Bone.
- Ooo these very not-Converse feeling Converse are so cute and under $100!
- This beloved Dorsey princess cut tennis bracelet is finally restocked!
- I’m still very much in my cardigan era and this one has been added to my radar.
- This pouch would make the perfect gift for any friends always planning their next getaway.
- I love a red dress moment at times and this new style from La Ligne is such a showstopper.
- Zara Home finally restocked my favorite coffee mugs. I’ve been using mine for years and years.
- These sneakers look designer but are under $50.
- This J.Crew bag I wore all Fall long is finally restocked (it had sold out quit quickly last year when it was released!)
- With Valentine’s Day coming up there’s no better reminder than to treat yourself to some great lingerie and nobody does it better than Simone Perele. I just ordered some newness from their “Love Edit” – so many pretty pieces from which to choose. (And while you’re shopping – this and this – are the best t-shirt bras. I’ve sworn by them for over a decade!)
- Rhone has some chic new arrivals if you want a workout and athleisure reset this time of year like I do. Loving the look of this hoodie and this hoodie, this bra top and this sports bra top, too in particular.
- I always love when I see Lake launches a neutral style like this pair of pajamas!! Immediately add to cart.
