Links I Love Week 33
I am home from Philly! It was my first time, and spending time with my husband’s family for a few days was really nice. We enjoyed Parc (a French restaurant recommended by so many of you). I also enjoyed K’Far and took home some of their coffee beans and chocolate rugelach. It should be a quiet weekend at home with a farmer’s market trip and baking some end-of-summer treats.
For weeks, all the articles I read about Paris covered the Olympics. Now that the Olympics are over, some interesting pieces from Emily in Paris are being published. The show was never for me. Paris will always be a hot topic. (At least, I hope.) Everyone has a different lens of the city, constantly evolving.
My inbox has been exploding with questions on The Paris Calendar for 2025. It is coming soon! I typically do a presale price to help with ordering the correct quantities. You can sign up here to ensure you are on the list for early September. I appreciate your support! There are a few exciting projects, and one will take me back to Paris this fall. As soon as I can share more details, I promise I will. It is going to be an exciting adventure to bring you on. Hint: email subscribers will be the first to hear the news.

Last year, I bought a dress from Everlane that I have worn many times since it arrived. It is a great wash-and-wear dress. (You may have seen the olive dress on me on IG stories.) Sadly, they didn’t bring it back this year. I found a great dress, similar to Quince’s, for $60.

Good morning, I have been following this blog for several years and really enjoy your links each week.
I am wondering if you ever have a discount code for Sezanne handbags. I have my eye on the Milo or Claude bag- love the shape and quality.
Any help with price would be most welcome
Regards,
Sophie Boden
Hi Sophie,
I am sorry. I wish I had a code for Sézane but they don’t really do sales or discounts. Occasionally, they will offer a code around a holiday weekend. It is rare. When there is one, I promise to share!
The bags are an investment and worth it if you plan to use it often. Quality wise, they will hold up well over years of use. Cost per use/wear is worth it.
