Links I Love Week 37: Year 2026

It has been a full week full of travel and family. Chicago has had beautiful weather, and I am soaking it up while we can. Slowly, I am moving my summer wardrobe, donating pieces, and moving sweaters back in. It is always helpful to see which dresses I wore on repeat and which ones didn’t get worn. That helps me decide what to donate.

This week was Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), one of my favorite times of year. I love getting dressed up for the holiday, cooking, and celebrating with friends and family. The transitional weather from summer to fall, all the apple desserts, and the buzz in the air of starting fresh.

My dad is with us for the weekend, and we took him to dinner at a new spot we recently discovered.

Good news! Calendars have arrived and will start shipping today. Watch your inbox for tracking information. I’ll do my best to get as many out as possible this week. I baked brownies for our UPS guy, Ray, who helps with packages.

Jazz shoes are the celebrity-approved fall shoe.

This is one of the most used dishes in our cabinet, and I broke it while taking it out of the dishwasher. What I love is that it keeps food fresh because of the ceramic top and bottom; we use it for everything. It was a gift from Degrenne years ago, and now I am rebuying it because we love it so much.

Merit has a new bag! They kindly sent it to me. I put all of the makeup I used for this week’s shoot in the bag so I remember what colors I used. We ran late to the temple, and I needed to grab makeup to do on the go, and this was perfect. I didn’t have a bag for my phone and keys, so I ended up using this. Perfect!

I rave often about ShopMy the affiliate program I use. It has changed my business for the better allowing me to connect directly with brands and create dream opportunities. I am participating in a series with the brand called Built on ShopMy in just a few weeks. You can sign up and watch here.

I pulled this blazer over a dress for temple this week and forgot how much I love it. You will see it more often this fall season. I love pulling out older pieces and wearing them again.

Best news! Brunch is officially dead. With a health-focused culture, it is now cool to get lunch. For someone who is an early riser, I haven’t been behind brunch since my early twenties. I struggle with a brunch menu because I have already eaten breakfast!

I have been reaching for these readers more and more as my eyes get worse, and I finally got sunglasses readers, which I am pretty excited about. I might pop by Warby Parker with my dad while he is in town to help him with a new pair.

Celine Dion’s opening night speech in Paris.

Last week, I mentioned these boots, and I didn’t know they would bring back the chocolate color I missed out on last year. The minute I saw they added it back, I bought them. They are a little tight at first, but your feet mold to them. I wore the black version all winter in the snow (great traction) and rain. They were worth the investment.

This week’s best sellers include my AWAY bag, a great pair of jeans, and the J.Crew sweater you can’t get enough of.

How A.D.H.D. changes as you age. I fight with my brain every single day. It is a struggle and working from home with multiple distractions doesn’t help.

I pulled this bag out for dinner, and it made me so happy. A little out of my comfort zone in color. I usually keep my bags neutral.
