It’s the last weekly roundup of 2021! I only have two more blog posts planned for this year which will be my After Christmas sales roundup and my year in review which will be live on the 31st. I’m looking forward to starting to slow down officially now and take some much needed time off. 

I spent this week catching up with friends and taking in NYC’s holiday festivities since I was no longer spending the week in Paris.

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

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Was thrilled to work again with Vuori. Truly this collaboration with them this year has been a dream come true. Such a great brand and so glad so many of you have bought things you love from them at my recommendation! As always, thank you for trusting my recommendations.
• I updated my Amazon Shop! And also My Closet in The Shop where you can easily shop everything I own and wear that’s still available to purchase.
