This week was all about giving myself some grace. After two back to back international trips and hosting a party at my home last weekend, I was spent. I’m planning to have a chill weekend at home- I’m going to see TDWP2 and have next to no other plans aside from hanging with my family which feels wonderful after a very busy April. 

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

The Weekly Edit 5.8.26

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• I finally threw my housewarming party!! I’ve officially checked another item off my 40 in 40 list. See more of the party here.
• I made this sheet pan lemon chicken with potatoes and feta and it was so simple and so good. Next time I’d add green olives. I also made this favorite kale and couscous salad I absolutely adore eating for lunch throughout the week.
• I got my face lasered and micro-needled so I slathered it all week in the U Beauty Super Hydrator which helps so much with post-treatment recovery. By day 2 I was amazed at how well it was helping me heal. I’m also in love with their new barrier mist. I was spritizing it all week to also help with barrier repair.

• I was so honored my friend Blair was a part of our En Route to Rêverie newsletter series Entre Nous. Get to know what inspires her and her travel style over on Passport to Rêverie.

READ + LOOK + LOVE:

• Small changes to make for better health.
• Parisians love to exercise now. I’ve always remarked on this in the last few years of visiting. When I lived in Paris in 2005 you never saw Parisians out exercising. 
• These carrot cake oatmeal breakfast bars sound delightful.
• More flexibility is making us less connected. 
• Beautiful flower destinations to explore in the world. 
• Margarita recipes to try. Yes, please!
• The solopreneur’s guide to saying no.
• A very delightful housewarming or hostess gift idea.

SHOP AND LOOK LOVINGLY:

• Lots of newness has been added to the Under $100 Shop!!
• Veronica Beard has so many good new arrivals for the season! I am loving this dress and this dress and this dress, these jeans, this tweed jacket, this linen mini dress (the hem is so cute!) and this cool bag. I always size up in this brand and if you already know your size in VB, the sale section is always worth browsing, too for some good deals.
• The Gap x Victoria Beckham trench is very cool looking. Also from Gap, I am eyeing from their new arrivals this cami, these jeans, this dress, these linen pants, this feminine take on the denim jacket and if you’re a fan of color – this jacket is so fun.
• These were April’s bestsellers from all the recommendations I made in the month.
• Shopbop has some great bags for the season right now – notably this one, this one, this one, this one and this one. I personally added this one to my collection recently. 
• In other bag news, this one has been added to my wish list.
• I got this denim jacket last summer and it’s so cute + a nice updated silhouette from the shrunken, tight ones many of us have been wearing for a decade. I recommend sizing up in this brand.
• I have to say that Hotel Lobby Candle x Nespresso knocked it out of the park with their candle collaboration released last week. Smells so good. 
• Ring Concierge is doing a rare sale offering 20% off their popular styles. I ordered this bracelet and own this ring and this ring both of which get loads of wear. These lab grown diamond studs make the perfect investment for daily wear.
• I placed a big Reformation order because wow the new pieces are so good. I usually hit and miss with them so I over order and sometimes I order in two sizes. I bought this cute set that was a part of my Spring Into Summer wish list, this dress, this dress, this dress, this set and this set.
