Happy Friday from sunny California! I’m here in Palm Springs on a bachelorette party and then hanging in LA to see friends and work from here. Pre-pandemic I used to come to California three to five times a year for work and for fun (I used to live out in the Bay Area!) so it is so, so good to be back. 

I hope you enjoy this week’s roundup (it’s a robust one!) and have a wonderful weekend!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Was honored to work with Armani Beauty x Sephora for the first time! You can see what I shot in Paris here and shop the foundation, concealer and lip color here where I also note shade details. I think you’ll love them all as much as I do!
• I tried a new breakfast spot in the West Village – Breakfast by Salt Cure – it was SO good! The oatmeal griddle cakes with cinnamon butter were insane.
• Booked a Springtime trip to London with my friend Carly! I can’t wait to be back in one of my favorite cities again.

• Ok, Jennifer Aniston’s favorite salad sounds so delicious. 

SHOP AND LOOK LONGINGLY:

• Hello, Spring at Shopbop! Shopbop is one of my most shopped at places and I always look forward to their Spring arrivals. Favorites I am eyeing include these jeans and this pair, too, this dress, these Levi’s, these shorts (I have a similar pair by the same brand!), this hat, these sneakers, these jeans and this swimsuit.
• Ok I did not know Converse made an all white Chuck All Star!! Adds to cart immediately. I also had no idea you could customize a pair – I love the off white and also saw a lot of girls in Paris wearing lesser seen colors. So chic.
• If you have a black tie wedding this year – I am in love with this gorgeous dress!
• Cuyana has launched some beautiful and timeless jewelry.
• How good is this home line, La Jolie Muse I just discovered on Amazon!? Serena & Lily vibes for a lot less.
• I love the Chanel books that adorn my home in various places and this new set is so chic. Would also make a good gift given the trio is under $100!
• One of my favorite affordable dresses is back in stock! I wear the M and have it in black. It looks and feels more expensive than it is!
• And another good warm weather affordable find – this beach coverup.
• Rothy’s new two tone flats are so chic!
• Yes to this new trench coat Everlane just released.
• Spotted my favorite straw tote for beach days and summer market days on sale! See it on here.
• Dermstore has Colorscience for 25% off! This is a great sunscreen brand and this product in particular is my favorite for face SPF touchups over make up. And perfectly pocket friendly so you can always have it on you!
• My favorite LOFT joggers are on sale! I wear a size Small. So soft, so cozy and perfect for travel. See them on How to Style Joggers.
• Spotted my favorite self tanner now on Amazon! I just used it before I headed to California. You can see it in action in my post The Best Self Tanners for Fair Skin.
• My favorite beach bag is now on sale! It sold out last year so grab it while you can.
