Links I Love Week 25: Year 2025
Hello summer! Chicago is at the start of a week-long heat wave. Henri and I will be staying cool this week, working on a few different projects. I need to get organized with swapping out sweaters for dresses. Yes, I was still in sweaters last weekend. Thank goodness, the Wells Street Art Fair did not have this heat.
Thank you for all the fabulous feedback on the South of France. We have finalized our hotel arrangements and even made adjustments to our itinerary, swapping two hotels. My husband and I are very excited about the upcoming trip. Stay tuned for more details on our itinerary and what I plan to pack. I cannot wait to take you along on Instagram.
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.

You mentioned your plan for lunch on your last day. Reminds me of a beautiful October day when we had lunch on the terrace at L’Ostau de Beaumaniere. It was so lovely, I’ll never forget it. We had been on a two week trip to Provence, probably the most beautiful part of the world.
Enjoy your trip!

Rebecca, Thank you for bringing Elemis to our attention. I tried the cleansing balm a few weeks back and immediately reordered it. Today I hit “send” for a couple items I had tucked in my shopping bag. Love a good discount! ❤ P.S. – I’m in the process of planning a Spring trip to Paris with a girlfriend. SO excited! Flights and hotel all booked.
I am so happy you are enjoying Elemis too! Keep me posted on how your Paris trip plans are coming along. Spring is a great time to visit!
Have visited South of France several times as cousin lives near Vence. Highly recommend village of St. Paul de Vence. One thing we also do is make luncheon reservations at Hotel du Cap. Great way to see this historic hotel. Enjoy your trip.
