Thanks to a packed schedule of events and meetings this week, we’re suddenly to Friday! I felt so incredibly productive but I’m also ready to now collapse into my bed this evening. (Who is with me?!) This weekend I have a friend’s birthday party, a get together in Central Park and dinner with my girlfriends so it is going to be a busy but fun one.

I hope you guys have fun plans as well & that you enjoy this week’s roundup!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Hosted a fun evening of snacks + good stories on my roof with Blair, Erika & Carly. It was the perfect weather and a nice way to toast the end of summer!
• Attended the opening party for a favorite French brand: ba&sh! It’s now on Elizabeth Street in Nolita.
• Caught up with my friend Julia at one of our favorite neighborhood spots, River Deli.
• Shot up on the Brooklyn Bridge which is such a massive commitment it only happens for me about once a year! And this week things went to pot a little as the secret shortcut entrance was blocked off thanks to construction so I ended up hoofing it for an extra 15 minutes of walking (read: sweating) and ended up with very poofy hair and a sweaty face. Fashion blogging, man – soooo glamorous! We’ll see how the photos turn out lol.
• Booked a return trip to Scribner’s for next month – so excited!

READ + LOOK + LOVE:

• My friend Clara just launched her coaching practice! Such an amazing accomplishment of hers to set out on her own and curate this. She specializes in the areas of food & body image, dating and relationships, and vitality (living with purpose, intention and spirit) if you’re interested in signing up for one of her programs!
• These animal photos are laugh out loud funny.
• Ok how cute does the new Mary Poppins movie look!?
• Ten healthy one-sheet pan recipes that take 20 minutes or less to prepare.
• You’ve probably caught on that I’m pretty excited about my upcoming trip to Paris… I’ll be sharing my packing list soon and this article gave me some serious inspo.
• For any pregnant mammas to be out there: skincare products to use when expecting.

SHOP AND LOOK LONGINGLY:

• I bought this croissant ornament last year and it made me so happy to have it hanging on my Christmas tree. So glad Anthropologie brought it back!
