Links I Love Week 45: Year 2026
Good morning! I am rising early and hibernating early with the time change, and I love it. As I work on links, Henri is napping next to me in the shape of a croissant, and I have a cup of coffee in my new Anthropologie holiday mug. Our local market is still running for a few more weeks, and this is our favorite Saturday morning routine.
I popped into POSH this week to do a little holiday shopping. They had a big stack of books for me to sign. I always recommend this shop for friends coming to Chicago. It is a dream for Francophiles. They ship too! I am so grateful for all of their support.
The holidays are in full swing, and this November is busy. It is also a stressful time for so many. As a reminder, carve out some self-care. Take a morning walk, listen to a podcast, work out, or catch up with a friend. I scheduled a facial with one of my favorite skincare brands for Sunday, and I cannot wait.
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.
What happened when errands went online? This is so good. I never thought about this. My husband jokes that I LOVE to grocery shop. It is never a quick run, and I always love coming home with something that wasn’t on the list but that I know we needed.

Coffee’s new status symbol is a machine without plastic. This explains why my husband has been doing so much coffee research. We are on the hunt. He wants one that has an app, pushes a button, and coffee is waiting for him, but it has to be plastic-free.
One of my favorite sweaters is back for another season. Plus, this clutch is back in mocha. It will move quickly.

The breakfast smoothie Jennifer Garner drinks every morning to stay in shape. I think we try to overcomplicate things by changing up what we eat so often.
Two things my husband has loved this week worth mentioning: his new coffee maker (Crate gifted it to us). It took a minute to figure out, but we’ve already gone through two bags of coffee this week. He now asks if he can make me a cup because he loves it so much. With the change of weather, he is wearing this corduroy layer over everything.
I promise, a gift guide for him is coming soon!

Coffee was always on at Grandma’s house., she used 8 o’clock coffee in a 12 cup stainless steel percolater. That was a good cup of coffee!❤
