Links I Love Week 5: Year 2026
Bonjour from Paris! It has been a lovely week of spending time with new and old friends, celebrating Paris Every Day with Sézane, photographing the city, and enjoying incredible meals. Don’t worry, I will be sharing more details with you soon!
Also, a special thank you to Hillary and Drew, whom I met this week in Paris. They mentioned that “links I love” is part of their Sunday ritual.
January is my annual solo trip to Paris. This is typically when I plan and dream for the year ahead.
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.

Katie always photographs me in Paris, and some of her photos are in my book Paris Every Day. Including the cover!
