Links I Love Week 43: Year 2025
Links I Love Week 43
I hope you are enjoying your Sunday. Saturday night, we had a Halloween party at a friend’s, my husband and I went as wine and cheese. Since we were in Wisconsin, finding a cheese head was easy. I wore Burgundy head to toe with a wine glass and brought a bottle of red as a hostess gift. An easy and fun costume.

My husband and I spent the weekend in Wisconsin with family for the Ohio State/Wisconsin game. This was my first time for a game and seeing the campus.

Holiday cookie season is just around the corner. This is a tradition I have done every year, and it brings me joy to deliver homemade cookies to friends, neighbors, and mail carriers.

Last week, I met a friend for an event, and she was dressed so chic! She always is. I admired her sweater and then finally broke down and asked her where she got it. Zara! This friend dresses with an excellent mix of high and low. Investment pieces mixed with affordable finds. I did introduce her to Zara home, which she had no idea existed, so it was a win-win for both of us!

I just saw your book featured in the “Book Club” section of the current (and gorgeous) issue of My French Country Home magazine. Congratulations!
Amazing! Thank you so much, Kathy!!
We were right across the street from the Louvre in our rental during the robbery. So crazy and sad that they could get that done. Thank you for all of the recommendations that you post. We have loved it here.
So crazy, Sara. It is wild how fast it happened and what they got away with.
How does the Peninsula Holiday Tea compare to The Drake one? I love the carolers etc at The Drake but curious if I should try a new one this year? Is the Peninsula Holiday Tea your favorite?
Hi Nancy!
It has been a while since I had the holiday tea at The Drake. I didn’t remember the carolers, what a special touch. The Peninsula is a beautiful space with delicious scones and desserts. I have always enjoyed it. The Langham is also a good one to try if you haven’t. Both splurges but a good holiday tradition in the city. Keep me posted what you decide on!
