Happy Friday from New York! I arrived home from Italy earlier this week and was playing catch up all week and was excited to finally launch this year’s 2024 Fall Essentials PDF (thank you for all the love on it!)

I am so very used to chronicling my life that it has become the norm as thoughts form in my head. It took much of my week long vacation to turn off those thoughts. And even then, with my phone on airplane mode and my out of offices up, it was a struggle. But I can’t tell you how unbelievably freeing it was to unplug. To not worry about being on camera. To not trying to do it all, to be ahead. It was a very worthwhile vacation indeed.

This weekend will now be dedicated to repacking as I am headed overseas for a work trip early next week. I’m excited to bring you guys along for what sounds like it is going to be an awesome trip. It is the first of four more Europe trips I have before year’s end…wowza. 

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

The Weekly Edit 9.13

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Finished my time in Italy and returned home with a full heart and very full belly. I shared some of my Rome highlights in the caption of this video – all worth bookmarking!
• I binged The Perfect Couple on Netflix and really enjoyed it – particularly the casting. Anyone else watch it?! 
• I gave a refresh to the Seasonal Favorites Shop on the site – so many good finds of late as I’ve been prepping content! And my Shopbop Hearted items have been updated, too. 
• Curated the August bestsellers! So many good pieces that I’m thrilled you guys are loving!

READ + LOOK + LOVE:

• Tips for cleaning your house efficiently but in an hour.
• How to negotiate a salary offer. 
• Great places for solo travel.
• How to divide a studio apartment.
• Things people misunderstand about traveling on a budget.
• Strategies for finding cheaper airfare.
• Books to read this Fall.

SHOP AND LOOK LOVINGLY:

• I brought this SPF to Italy with me and wore it every day and I fell in love with it even more. It layers so well under my fav BB Cream as well if you want a bit more foundation-like coverage but overall it smooths out skin, reduces the appearance of pores and does a good job of protection. I wear shade Farifax.
• Get your wardrobe Fall-ready with up to 30% off Everlane’s Fall styles. Shop sweaters, denim, and more at a lower price now through Sunday. Their new Fall arrivals look GOOD. No code is needed.
• This new colorway of the La Ligne Marin Sweater!!! You can use code MEGHAND10 for 10% off your first order from the brand.
• I’m going to keep singing the praises of these washable silk pajamas. They take up next to no room in your suitcase and are a dream for hot sleepers like myself. So comfortable and yet somehow incredibly chic, too? I have the size M.
• I am looking for a pair of more casual, knee-high boots for the season and this pair is at the top of my list at the moment as I like the brand’s quality and the price is significantly less than the Isabel Marant and Proenza pairs I’ve been eyeing. 
• Westman Atelier dropped a concealer!! Have any of you tried it? I cannot wait to test it out given how much I like so much of the rest of the line. You can use my Credo code Meghan10 for 10% off your order of it at Credo.
• If you have been eyeing the Chanel two-tone ballet flats but would like a less expensive option, the Margaux Demis are perfect. Speaking of Margaux, these sandals remain my most worn of all summer. I trotted all over Italy in them. They are truly so comfy. 
• Attention! A new shade of *the* Bash jacket is now available. I’ll be ordering, duh. I wear my ivory and black versions so, so much. I wear size 2.
• And everyone’s favorite midi dress (I own four colors! size 8) now comes in a gorgeous fall-ready black herringbone! And Tuckernuck has a brown version!
• The J.Crew Stevie boot I own in black suede and wore so much last year are back for this year! Highly recommend these comfy and oh-so-walkable boots for your collection.
• I’m loving the new Demellier tote! Perfect as a work bag or a carry on tote. (p.s. I just pulled the trigger on the bag of theirs that was on my 2024 Fall Wish List!)
• I was excited that Sezane dropped the Mederick coat I own in Navy in a black! I have the size 6. Also the new taupe Milo bag is so beautiful!
• Hell yes to this Cleo Wade x La Ligne Voting tee!
• Nike is doing a sale through Sunday – you can save 25% off eligible orders of $150+ with code LOCKITIN at checkout. My AirMax sneakers are included, workout socks if you need a refresh, one of my favorite sports bras I own several of, this half zip, these leggings I love and this pair, too and this pair, too.
• Spotted the Madewell leather jacket that looks like mine for 40% off (it is often excluded from promos!) Also! A great camel blazer marked 50% off at Ann Taylor.
