Happy Friday from Lake Tahoe! I’ve spent the week out here with family and we were so blessed with crisp mornings and blue skies with lots of sunshine. It was such a welcome relief from New York City’s peak summer oppressive heat and humidity. I’ve had loads of giggles with my niece and nephew, early morning walks down to the lake, splashes in the pool and learned how to play pickle ball. I’ll head back to NYC soon for a very full social agenda next week including hosting an event with my New York community. I can’t wait to see those of you who RSVP’d!

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

The Weekly Edit 8.16

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• I gave full refreshes to the Under $100 Shop and French Capsule Shop! Fall pieces, here we come…
• I was so excited to partner with Caudalie again to share a behind the scenes on the brand and two of my all-time favorite, holy grail products. I’d love your support to like and comment on the video HERE.

READ + LOOK + LOVE:

• Bookmarking these delicious sounding brownies to make this Fall.
• Goop’s guide to Brooklyn.
• The best times to book business class award travel.
• Ways to hold yourself accountable for your happiness and well-being.
• A fun interview on Lily Collins x Emily in Paris as the show returns for its fourth season.
• Ways to work out on vacation.

SHOP AND LOOK LOVINGLY:

• Alex Mill’s first pre-fall drop is here and it is good. They released a bunch more of their fan favorite Paris Jacket (I usually size up in styles like this), this cardigan is so cute, this polo sweater is timeless as is this button down and I really like the look of these trousers.
• And for a more affordable take on Alex Mill’s striped lady jacket – try this one from Target.
• I love the idea of these little affirmation cards. Such a nice daily ritual. (Would also make a cute gift!)
• Shopbop is doing 20% off of skincare, makeup, and other Beauty Selects with code BEAUTY20. *The* BB Cream is included, as is Augustinus Bader’s Rich Cream, this eye shadow palette I just bought and love, my favorite self tanner, my go-to eye shadow brushes and my holy grail mascara.
• To know me is to know I love the scent of Osea’s Undaria cleansing line so you know I ordered the brand new Undaria Body Wash to try as soon as it launched. Excited is an understatement. If you use code WITWHIMSY10 you’ll get 10% off your order.
• I love these towels for drying my face after cleansing. They’ve helped improve my skin with consistent use if you can believe it. 
• Great new arrivals from Madewell that are perfect for transitioning from summer into Fall.
• I just ordered the Margaux ballet flats in their new beautiful Espresso color!
• And in more shoe news – Sarah Flint is running an amazing promo on their beautiful boots through Sunday – use code BOOTS200 to save $200 off their boots. You can shop my favorite styles I own in my Sarah Flint Shoes Review.
• While in Tahoe I lived in my favorite Vuori pieces which led me to check out some of their new arrivals which are so good. They include this great fleece, these cozy leggings I own, this chic tank and a restock of this jacket I own and love from last Fall (size M). 
• While I’ve been dealing with some bloating this summer, I’ve been living in these high-waisted thongs. They are so good at staying put and making everything feel a bit more “tucked in” under clothes.
• Just got this tee after hearing a few friends rave about it and yep, it’s great. I sized up to a L for a roomier fit as I prefer in my tees.
• These beautiful suede trousers I own from Sezane are back for the season! I own the 8.
• Hill House’s pre-fall is here – my favorites? This dress and this dress.
• Cuyana’s new shoulder bag is gorgeous and looks far more expensive than its under-$400 price tag.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

• How to Pack for A Week in a Carry On.
• My Holy Grail Beauty Products.
• 18 Designer Bags Under $1000.
• The Best French Pharmacy Skincare Products.
• Must-Have Shoes for Women.
