Links I Love Week 28: Year 2025
Links I Love Week 28
This week, I arrived home and unpacked from the South of France. There was a lot of laundry and organization after being away. I celebrated my 9th year of blogging and wrote this post, including some struggles and goals for the upcoming year.
For those of you in Chicago, I will be at Slant of Light Books at 9:30-10:30 am to do a Bastille Day celebration for the Old Town neighborhood. This is such a cute new bookshop on Wells St, and you can preorder the book here in person. I will also have a variety of Paris prints for sale. Henri will be there and I will have croissants. (while they last)
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.
I loved this article on how Izipizi built a Warby Parker competitor that is even more affordable. The brand is so cute. I finally bought these glasses when I was in the South of France.

If you haven’t heard, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is on. The sale just opened to the public. My two favorite categories that I think are the strongest are beauty and activewear. You can see my favorites rounded up here for activewear. I swear by the Zella leggings.
For beauty, you can check out this post.

Hi Rebecca, Is your book going to be sold in stores in Australia? I do try very hard to buy all my books from an actual store as so many have closed in recent years. Fortunately some are still open and are my favourite places to spend time.
Hi Fiona,
Hopefully, yes! I work with a small publishing house so it may take some time but I really hope so.
Enjoy your newsletters. Stayed at Crillon le brave hotel several times in the past years. It’s all that they say, quite enjoyable.
Thank you, Bunny! I love hearing that feedback and I can’t wait to experience the hotel one day as you have. xo
