Links I Love Week 35
This week, I got a flu shot (if you think it is too early read this post) and started The 100-day Challenge. I am thrilled to have so many of you join me to end of 2020 on a positive note. I am focusing on yoga and practicing my French daily. Grab your coffee and croissants, for this week’s favorite links.

I love this long sweater-blazer from J.Crew. I have the shorter version in the camel that I wore ALL last winter. I always think this longer style is strange for Chicago because it is longer than a coat… but with working from home being the new normal this Winter, I can see myself wearing this to keep warm and cozy in the colder months ahead.
As someone who has spent a lot of time on Dating Apps, this made me laugh out loud.

I bought Apple TV for my house so I could stream yoga on it and it was worth it. Game changer.
Oh P.S. speaking of TV, The Big 3 (This is Us) is coming back in November. Save the date. I have read they will incorporate modern life (coronavirus/Black Lives Matter) into the writing for this season.
I made this lemon pound cake and added blueberries. (NYT recipe) it was so good. I want to try this Bundt Cake recipe next from Dorie Greenspan. I bought a bundt pan for the new place. It is perfect to break it in.
The book Frog and Toad has been one of my niece’s and nephew’s favorite books. It was a childhood favorite of my brother in law and he has introduced it to his kids. I sent this link over to my family, “ Frog and Toad Tentatively Go Outside After Months of Self Quarantine” Emma (age 7) read it to my mom and my mom read it to Bobby. (age 4).
I am crushing on this Messenger Bag from Cuyana. It doesn’t have a zipper-like my tote bag but you can still zip your valuables.
I ordered Half Baked Harvest cookbook per so many of your recommendations and it is incredible. If you are in a quarantine cooking rut, this is such a great solution for ideas to cook at home.
