Links I Love Week 29
I am in Boston for the weekend getting my yearly lobster roll and spending a summer weekend in the city. I always look forward to visiting the adorable bakery Tatte in town. If you haven’t been, add it to your list. I still have lots of catching up from traveling in Italy and editing photos for The Print Shop. The Lake Como Guide will be in your inboxes on Tuesday. I am putting the finishing touches on it now.
I had a week of checkups! Health checks are SO important and not talked about often enough. I had both my physical and gynecology appointment at Northwestern. This is also a friendly reminder to schedule your doctor visits and get checked regularly. I scheduled my first mammogram now that I am 40.

I thought I lost my sunglasses in Italy but they were buried in my bag and have been recovered. I panicked. If you love mine and want the same pair, I found them on sale here and will order a second pair. They are perfect for my small face and I always have had them with me until now.
Sézane sent me this Amour sweatshirt that is a US exclusive.
I have been wearing the original cream with red letters on repeat since it arrived a few months ago. I couldn’t be happier to have two in the rotation. In fact, I think I have worn this every single weekend to the market in Chicago with Henri before it got too hot.
I broke out my black linen pants for an evening walk with Henri. These were perfect to throw on after a shower in the summer. I also own them in white. I ended up wearing them on the flight to Boston. The perfect travel pants. They are so comfortable too.
