Links I Love Week 8
This week was exciting for the fact that I finally got a haircut after about six months. For obvious reasons, I haven’t been to the salon and my anxiety is high. The salon gave me a private area and I was in and out fairly quickly. (I will share a photo on Tuesday!) We had snow most of the week but finally had a bit of a sunshine break. Henri went for his second walk and now is snuggled up next to me napping.
In Print Shop News, I added a requested feature. You can now save your favorites to a Wish List. ❤️ You can email them to friends and family to send them a hint there is something on your Wish List or just for you to circle back to at a later time. I am working with my friend Rachelle to give The Print Shop a facelift this year so stay tuned for more details.

I am always talking about one of my favorite brands Sezane. Their sizing is a bit different and it is hard to know what size you are if this is your first purchase. I created a sizing guide based on what I have bought and how things run here.
I have been wanting a new robe for almost a year. Since Henri didn’t get me one for Valentine’s Day, I bought this one from Parachute Home. I loved the reviews I heard from readers on their products and I am excited to try this one out.
