Links I Love Week 34: Year 2026

This week, we spent time in Ann Arbor visiting family and are now back in Chicago to soak up the last days of August. Is it just me, or did this month fly by? I had my annual gyno appointment; this is your friendly reminder to book yours and also schedule your mammogram.

Thank you to everyone who placed your 2027 preorder calendar orders. I am so grateful for all your support! Your preorders will be shipping shortly. I am just waiting on final details from my printer and a ship date. The presale helped me gauge how many calendars to order. Once they sell out, I will not be ordering more.

Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me on the blog.

Sunday, August 23: A new Sézane launches. This has been one of my favorite brands for almost 10 years. I ordered a few pieces and mixed old and new. The Will jacket in suede remains a favorite; I want to wear it as often as possible. The bag is the Gabin from a few seasons ago; the scarf and the brown moccasins are from the new collection.
