Links I Love Week 14

Happy Sunday and happy Easter for those who celebrate. This week, I worked on finalizing details for the new site which will debut later this month. Get excited, it is not only beautiful but user-friendly and will open up a lot more content available for readers.

It’s official! According to the CDC, vaccinated people are able to travel again, safely!

Redfin asked me to contribute to an article on How to Bring a Sense of Wonderlust into Your Home. You can read my contribution and the whole article here.

If you are in the market for a Staub piece of Le Creuset, there are some great sales going on. I am eyeing this classic cast iron pan to upgrade my kitchen. You can not go wrong with a Le Creuset Dutch Oven, I use mine all the time. My other favorite pan which I purchased on sale over Christmas was a 4 qt Staub and I love it. It makes great chicken and I find myself reaching for it more and more when making dinner. The 5qt is currently on sale.

My birthday is coming up in a few weeks which means one thing, carrot cake! This is the recipe I used and loved last year. I will be making it again this year.

Balthazar, Reunited. I can’t wait to get back to NYC when it is safe to visit this classic restaurant.

These Perrier cans are a staple in my fridge. I order them online and they are shipped weekly to my door. Instead of cocktail hour, I open one of these with a slice of lime at the end of the day.

I love Lou and Grey sweats so much. I just saw they have shorts for Summer made out of the same material as their sweatpants. Update: Lou and Grey are on sale! I just ordered a replacement for my black sweatshirt that was bleached by mistake last year and I love it so much I still wear it. The pants are AMAZING too. If you are looking for something cozy and soft, these are 40% off. I wear a size S in both top and bottom.

  1. Happy Sunday! I look forward to Balthazar in NYC as well and looks like it will be possible this year. That restaurant seems to be a popular one in Soho. But I’ll go for lunch not brunch.

    • Hi Ernesto,

      Wonderful idea. I hope you enjoy your lunch and it lives up to the expectations. It is always one of my favorite places to visit when I am in NYC.

      Keep me posted,
      Rebecca
