Links I Love Week 45

Links I Love Week 45

I am spending the weekend in Florida with my niece and nephew for what they call Auntie Camp. My sister and her husband are traveling, and I am helping out with them. It was a quick “yes” when she asked me, knowing how fast the kids were growing up. I feel I missed so much during the pandemic years not seeing them as much. They are at such fun ages. It’s been a busy but fun weekend.

This also puts a lot in perspective on the war in the Middle East and makes my heart heavy for all the families grieving. I continue to keep those in my prayers and send you all love.

As many of you have mentioned, you want me to continue with links I love as they spark joy and sprinkle the magic of France in your inbox. Thank you for your continued support. 

Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.

I got caught wearing my husband’s socks this week. I never owned a pair of Bomba’s, but they ended up in my sock drawer a few weeks ago, and I secretly kept washing and wearing them until I got caught. They are 25% off right now, so I will be ordering my own socks and a pair of compression socks to wear for flying.

I wore this travel set on my way to Florida. While I usually travel in jeans, this was a dream. Frank & Eileen sent it to me, and I am forever changed. Yulia and I shot it earlier this week, and I promise to share photos of it styled soon. These pants are now on my wishlist for the holiday. I have never been into dressing up for the holidays, but I am into it this year.

I have been loving two clean sunscreens that offer a beautiful tint and zinc protection, including this Odacité one with SPF 50 and Weekend Skin. (I just placed a reorder for it during the Credo sale) Sunscreen should be a year-round part of your skincare routine.
