Links I Love Week 41
This week has been extremely difficult. I returned from Paris, and while there is a lot to share from my trip, I paused my regular content this week to reflect on the world around me. I hope you’ve been able to do the same. Saturday was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. I feel heartbroken not just for what we are experiencing now but for the future of Jewish people worldwide. Israel is on my mind and in my heart. 💙
As I lay awake in the middle of the night, unable to sleep, I want to share a few things you can do when you feel helpless about the situation – I know these help me. 1) Educate yourself on world events, 2) Find trusted news sources for more information, 3) Unplug from social media if that’s what helps you, 4) Go for a walk, or 5) Call or text a friend and check in. For others, they’re more inclined to act by giving. If you’re looking for a place to make an impact, you can Donate here. Again, you can research to find an organization of your choice. This is just one of many.
Links I Love is a tradition I started on the blog years ago and is a nod to my grandma. She would send me letters with newspaper articles and post-it notes on why the article was interesting. I have consistently shown up each Sunday. It is something so many of you look forward to every week, and I will continue this week.
If you are not ready for this, I understand entirely. Go for a walk, hug a friend, call a loved one, and lean on someone for support. I am sending love and prayers to all who are suffering right now.
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.

Merit’s Proenza Schouler bag is vegan leather, not real leather.
I do like the sneakers at Madewell. As a matter of fact I like the store on Southport. Sneaker wise, I love On and have collected three pairs: running, walking and cross training. They are the most comfortable walking shoes I’ve ever had. The runners have spent multiple miles on the 606, three houses north of my house on Wood. Next up, the waterproof ones for walking on rainy days in Paris.
I’m old enough to remember that if you wore sneakers in Paris, you were automatically seen as « American. » it’s quite a change.
Agree about situation in Israel. It’s odd, but at times like this, I really miss my mother. My next store neighbor was born there and has relatives living there. My mother disliked Netanyahu. She would have plenty to say.
