Happy Friday from Brooklyn! I arrived back home last weekend after nearly two weeks in the South of France. I always love when I fly home on a Saturday. It means I get to spend all of Sunday doing all my get-back-to-life items without feeling tethered to my laptop and inboxes. I unpacked, opened (too many) packages, went a long walk, ordered groceries, worked on a bit of trip planning, went to yoga and made dinner in my kitchen. It was a Sunday well spent and a reminder that being home is always a gift.
I hope you enjoy this week’s edit and have a wonderful weekend!

I spent a fair bit of time finalizing the details for my next trip. I had a bunch of trains to book within Italy for my upcoming vacation and also remembered how nice it is to have that week of the trip be something where I don’t have to plan much. Maybe a spa treatment, maybe a few dinner reservations. But otherwise the goal is to be untethered.
I did a lot of the items on this list.
I made *yet again* this corn pesto pasta. It is so, so good. (I shared more of my favorite summertime meals in this recent newsletter).
I used this week’s (very) rainy weather as an excuse to fill my home with lit candles I love at the moment including this one, this one and this one.
This week was a blur of work obligations. I had multiple things to film and shoot and I am busy already prepping fall content for the site (!!) My longtime assistant is also out on her honeymoon so the team is down a person and I am working to try and best prioritize my time as my new team member gets up to speed. It is busy, busy, busy at w&w HQ!!
Some cute outfits for your weekends now...and as the weather transitions.
The greatest luxury hotels on earth.
One of my favorite easy, protein-packed meals.
As someone obsessed with her Notes app, I loved this piece in Time.
An easy way to help teachers this forthcoming school year.
A twice-annual French antiques fair to know.
LOTS of good newness dropped into the Under $200 Shop this week! Worth a browse for sure. (And plenty of the items are under $100!)
The Nordstrom Sale ends this weekend and there’s still some goodness in stock like this Barbour jacket, these easy eyeshadow sticks I personally bought and are great, these sneakers I own, this cute trench, these boots, this gorgeous wool coat, these versatile booties and my favorite body care products.
Did I just order another WNU linen button down? Absolutely - my collection keeps growing. I wear size US 8 / UK 12. Also got this dress from the brand and it is soooo good. Easy, breezy and perfect for high summer. I got a size US 8 but likely could have done a US 6 as it is quite billowy and a bit oversized.
Tuckernuck has some good new arrivals including this little tshirt dress, this dress, this dress, these crochet shorts, this dress, this top + matching pants and I am eyeing this cashmere tee for next season. And while you’re shopping, my favorite shirt dress is finally restocked in black in all sizes! I wear a L.
This chic hand fan is finally back in stock. Or there’s this other pretty one I just saw!
This dress just arrived and it is perfection. The embroidery detail is even prettier in person. (Size 8).
One of my most used bags is on sale! And while you’re shopping, this raffia tote is very good.
I had ordered another one of my favorite Spanx sweatshirts (size M) and when doing so added these trousers to my cart on a whim and yessss they are so good! Look like a dressier trouser but are pull on, have pockets and I didn’t need to hem them. Win/win/win. I got size R/M.
This new Varley cardigan I added to my collection is so good. The color is unique and striking, the fabric lovely. I got a size L and want to style it with these pants as seen on their site. Also tempted by this bag and this trench from their pre-fall new arrivals!
My new hobby is looking for the perfect pre-loved Dior Bobby bag on Vestiaire Collective.
Dermstore has up to 25% off - notably included are La Roche-Posay at 20% off, NuFACE at 25% off, Dr. Diamond’s Metacine at 20% off and they are now carrying Arrae which is 25% off (I take three of their supplements daily!) And this set is now 50% off offering incredible value to test a lot of hero products.
And in other sale news - I worked with Brooklinen this week to share my new towels are 20% off as part of their Splash Sale! Also linked all my favorite bedding I’ve been raving about for a decade now!
