Happy Friday from France! After a few days in Paris, I am now down in the South of France on the Côte d’Azur scouting two hotels and taking a few meetings in between testing some spots for our En Route to Rêverie expertise.

I also baked in a few windows of R&R by the sea and am happy to be getting a quick dose of Côte d’Azur sunshine. My freckles appeared in full force despite lots of SPF and I think the French Riviera will be some good healing for my current dose of melancholy. It does, in fact, officially feel like summer. 

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

The Weekly Edit 6.12.26

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• I started the week in Paris after a quick getaway to Burgundy and then headed South. This trip has been intense and a lot of schlepping and I know I’ll be ready to go home in a few days for sure. (Champagne problems, I am aware!)
• Shared how June 2019 – seven years ago – came to change my whole life.
• Shared highlights from my Scotland road trip.

READ + LOOK + LOVE:

• Melon salads to enjoy this summer.
• Nonfiction books to read this summer.
• Gift ideas for dads.
• How to create a low-scroll summer.
• I’ve been on a real tuna kick of late and I want to try making this spicy tuna toast when I get back home.
• A clean beauty primer by one of the best beauty editors in the biz (whom I used to work with back in my PR days and greatly respect).
• Travel related Q&As are some of my favorite content to consume which is why we launched the Entre Nous series on my travel atelier’s newsletter, Passport to Rêverie. Our latest edition has some truly stunning wedding photos from France included!
• How to summer proof your hair.
• Inside a cozy English countryside cottage.

SHOP AND LOOK LOVINGLY:

• Hotel Lobby Candle launched a Nantucket collection and I cannot wait to get home to smell them! Fun fact: We ran into founder Lindsay Silberman on ACK last summer where she was on island to shoot the candles in peak Nantucket summer glory and it was so fun to hear her inspiration first hand. I am such a fan of everything she’s built and I celebrate all her success and creativity. 
• Abercrombie has so many good dresses now! This skort dress would be perfect for the Fourth of July, this linen mini dress is darling. Of course I can’t say no to polka dots, and how chic is this linen blend number? 
• Ok J.Crew also has some great new dresses as well! I am loving this one, this one and I already own this one. And I was thrilled to see they finally brought back their great slip dress from a few years ago (size up!!) And if you’re lucky enough to be going to Spain or Italy this summer please get this little number!
• In other cute dress news, this Hill House number.
• Love, love, love this little raffia bag that looks designer but is under $700.
• This camisole is everything I want in a going out top these days.
• Tower28 just gave me a limited time use code for you guys to get 15% off your order. Use MEGHAN15 at checkout and might I please recommend this holy grail SPF I wear so, so often (shade Fairfax), this lip duo, and this spray I can’t live without when my skin feels overly sensitized?
• This Savette shoulder bag is so good!! Immediately saved it to my wish list.
• The Left on Friday x Clare V. collab is too cute. 
• Hunting Season’s summer bags are phenomenal. I like nearly all of them!? I have one from last summer and the quality is wonderful. 
• This week in Paris my friend was raving about the “narrow” version of these sandals she had bought that actually stayed on her feet which she exclaimed was a rarity. 
• A pretty crochet piece that won’t break the bank.
• Loving this sexy yet chic one piece swimsuit from a swimwear brand I’ve been impressed with of late.
• U Beauty is offering you guys 20% off with my code MEGHANDONO. I cannot properly understate how much my skin LOVES the Super Hydrator and Resurfacing Compound. When I am consistent with both my skin has never looked better – firmer, brighter, less breakouts and hydrated and glowy. This brand is pricey but it works.
• Excuse me while I drool over this stunner of a jacket.
• The perfect pool flip flop in a shade I can’t get enough of these days.
• A good pair of jeans for this time of year c/o of Madewell.
