Links I Love Week 47: Year 2024

I hope you are having a great Sunday. Chicago had the first taste of snow for the season and Paris did too just around the same time. It was fun to see the excitement of Parisians experiencing snow and feeling the Christmas magic at the same time. The holidays bring sales and I will have a roundup for you soon of retailers and their codes and offerings. I wanted to highlight my own small business first.

The Print Shop is 20% off until next Saturday using the code HOLIDAY2024. I appreciate your support so much! Grab your Paris calendars, The Paris Guide, and a favorite print from Paris. If you spend $100 or more, you receive the new EDP tote.

There are surprising benefits to talking out loud to yourself. I find myself doing this in Paris when I am solo.

This Potato and Gruyere tart recipe looks so good.

Do not miss out on the AWAY sale. 25% off everything! Our whole family is a fan. I have the larger carry on for Paris with this everywhere bag ($146 on sale!) as my personal piece when traveling abroad. I use this garment bag when I have pieces that need to hang and it is so helpful.

Inside the industrial chic Paris home of Clara Cornet and Luca Pronzato. Great use of light, and the tile in the bathroom is dreamy!

My friend Katrina launched a new chocolate brand and it is so good! I ordered the toffee and we can’t stop eating it. Gift it for the holidays or serve it to your guests when you entertain.

The most fashionable scaffolding in the world

Anthropologie gave me an early access code to share with you for their upcoming sale. Use the code REBECCA30 for 30% off! I bought this Paris mug, I decided I wanted to collect the holiday mugs because I love them so much. This also includes our gold mirror that is above our mantle!

Home Decor trends going out of style in 2025

how the French stay warm everyday parisian

How the French stay warm and fashionable in the cold months of winter. The warmest coat for layering! I bought this in Paris in January when it was freezing, and it was 100% worth it. Since it was end-of-season, they were low on stock. It is back and on sale. This is the trick for French women to stay warm. A medium worked well for me.

On Friday night, I crawled into bed with my laptop to work. (I know not the healthiest) and turned on Netflix. Quickly, I closed the laptop and got hooked on “A Man on the Inside” Ted Danson made me laugh and it was so fun to watch. There is an article from Forbes below. See the above link for the trailer.

A Man on the Inside is one of the best Netflix shows of 2024 and Ted Danson has never been better

I bought the green lamp, and now our cozy nook by the stairs is even better. It makes me smile every time I pass by. We used it for a holiday shoot this past week with Yulia, and I cannot wait to share the photos! They are going to be SO good.

This Week’s Best Sellers

The comeback of Vera Bradley, explained via Elle

The best hotels on the French Riviera

Alyssa recommended “The Third Gilmore Girl” I am listening to it now and LOVE it.

I saw Ina Garten in person this week and she was lovely. One point she touched on was how she wears the same shirt every day and it is from Talbot’s! She even has them made in different fabrics for different parts of the year.

Bag charms have taken over women’s totes. Here is how to ace the look via WSJ (gifted by me)

One of my favorite flats are on sale. I will share a larger roundup later but I expect sizes to sell out throughout the sale. Mine have held up for the last 4 years so well.

How to manage your stress well during the holiday season

My hairstylist Amanda recommended this travel straightener for abroad. It charges via USB vs an adapter.

This travel scarf is on my wish list for the holidays. It would look so pretty in Paris.

We made this beef dish for dinner on Monday and loved it. My neighbor shared the recipe she makes often in her rotation. I am always looking for something new to cook.

5 antique and Vintage Trends that will be all the Rage in 2025

When I asked what you were buying this holiday season. Many of you mentioned a Kitchenaid Mixer. This is a great time to buy one when they are on sale. I found a great price at Macy’s. Crate and Barrel has the best color selection and it is also on sale. We have classic black, my sister has red.

Is paneling your fridge worth the splurge? I think so!

How LTK revolutionized shopping. You may be familiar with the influencer platform. This was such an interesting read. It is long, but it provides insight into how the influencer marketing world works.

Elemis is what I have been using and loving for cleaning my face. I don’t know why it took so long for me to try a cleansing balm but it really helps my dry skin. For travel, I bought the mini sizes of everything including their resurfacing pads. During the day, I use the moisturizer with SPF and at night, I use a heavier cream from a different brand. They are currently 25% off!
