It is officially Fall and Chicago feels like a switch was flipped. I have been wearing layers for walks with Henri and the air is crisp with leaves at my feet. It is nice to have a change in temperatures and wardrobe. My new couch finally arrived this week and I am looking forward to weekend naps and cuddles. I also just got this sweater blanket from Boll and Branch that is a beautiful spruce color.
Calendars arrived this week thanks to my FedEx and UPS delivery guys. 🥳 I consider these people part of my team that makes EDP run smoothly and I am so grateful for their hard work all year long. I screamed when I opened the boxes to finally see them in person made my heart beat out of my chest. I am totally crushing on the large Paris calendar. So many of you requested a big one and I am so happy I took the chance and made one. In case you missed it, I have printed three calendars this year instead of just one like I did last year. I am trying to get as many shipped off before I leave for Paris in October.

Mango is currently 30% off. I recently bought this dress that will be coming with me to Paris. I ordered a few more pieces including this dress, this dress, and a black leather belt. Fingers crossed my second order arrives in time for Paris. I size up in Mango because it is European so I went with a medium instead of my normal small.
