Links I Love Week 32: Year 2025
Bonjour! It has been a hot weekend in Chicago. We are hoping for a break in the heat soon, with rain in the forecast. I have been eyeing and buying a few fall pieces over the last couple of weeks. Is anyone else excited for the change in seasons? I have been working on my goals for the remainder of 2025, and I have a few things I am focusing on.
The calendar votes have been tallied, and I have a cover photo. Thank you to everyone who voted! The 2026 Paris calendar will be available for presale on Tuesday, so get ready.
Grab your coffee and croissants and join me for links I love.
Links I Love Week 32
The most important Italian etiquette tip, according to longtime residents. This goes for Paris, too. One of my neighbors just returned home, and he was shocked by how casual people are dressing now.
This sweet story about a meteorologist tugged at my heartstrings. As someone who is also in the public eye, I’ve noticed that not all comments are kind. This man stood up for himself and made sure his family was safe during a storm.
Avoiding ultraprocessed foods might double weight loss, according to the NYT *gifted article
Loving the Madewell fall accessory looks. These boat shoes (YES), scarf, and this bag. So many more favorites all here on my ShopMy.
The colorful sneaker we will all be wearing on repeat this fall.

Dream Paris apartments for sale at bargain prices. The catch. Someone must die. This story is a bit crazy if you are hearing this for the first time.
Cos is on my radar for fall, and I’m loving so many items. This brand is great for fashion-forward but affordable pieces. I ordered this jacket in navy, and this mock cashmere sweater is great for layering. This coat caught my eye last year as a trend, but I’m impressed with the much better price point. I added it to my ShopMy favorites.
I made this pasta dish for dinner over the weekend after picking up zucchini and corn at the farmer’s market. To add a little flavor, I added corn, making the dish sweet. I would mix a little lemon juice with the ricotta before adding it to the pasta.
Loving this sweater jacket in red from Alex Mill. This would be so fun with boots or flats styled with wide-legged jeans. I have been searching for new Henleys for the fall. This is a style I wear all the time and so happy they have a few colors to choose from.
The best weekend markets in Paris
Sarah Flint is $100 off your next order (over $350) using the code SURPRISE. The perfect zip bootie is a boot you will have in your closet for years.

On the last day my sister was in Chicago, we both arrived in the kitchen wearing the exact zip-up sweatshirt. I gifted her one of these, and I guess she loved it so much she packed it for the trip!

My sister has curly hair and ordered this curling iron while she was visiting. It worked so well! She told me I had to share it.
The new LAKE collection is here. I ordered this set in pink. It is one of my favorite sets I own, and I have the two blues. They are on repeat from the washer to my pajama drawer.
This week’s Best Sellers include a Splendid top and bottom I am loving (so comfortable and on sale with code REBECCA20), plus a $100 sneaker for fall transitional weather.
Breville finally updated its coffee maker to have a removable water tank. This is the one my husband used before switching to this one, which has an app. Every week, he tells me to link it because it is his favorite thing! He can start it from bed and walk into the kitchen with freshly brewed coffee.
