Links I Love Week 8 Year 2024
It has been an eventful week! We are prepping for next weekend when the family will be in for a big event. This will be the first time my husband and I have hosted everyone. We are having a lot of fun getting the house ready. Henri has no idea the chaos and love that is about to fill the house.
On Friday, I booked a new French spot to try, which was a total bust. (Patty, you were right!) My husband and I ended up walking the streets of Chicago in the snow and crazy wind, looking for a second dinner. It was a memorable date night. We decided to try a new coffee spot that we loved. The line was out the door at 3 pm, buzzing with energy. They have croissants from Dan, the baker. I need to give a taste test one of these days.

How to add flavor to soups and stews with a parmesan rind. You can easily find these at Whole Foods. They sell just the rind.
Speaking of soup recipes, I had a similar soup in Park City and wanted to create this at home. It still needs some tweeks since I added more chicken than the recipe called for I should have increased the garlic and ginger. Overall, it was delicious, and we enjoyed it for lunch throughout the week.
This week’s best sellers include two adorable pieces from Boden, and the J.Crew Factory flats I own are back and under $100
I started “Winter Garden” on the plane since we didn’t have wifi. It was already downloaded on my Kindle. The book was easy to get into, and I enjoyed it. I found myself finding every chance to read it and finished it early this week. Kristin Hannah is a fantastic author, and I loved how she incorporated Russian history and culture into the book, giving it another layer.
For Channukah, I got my sister an NYT subscription. She loves it and enjoys reading the articles often. When I saw her last weekend, she sent me this one on “How to Survive Long Haul Flights” and told me to add it to this week’s links!

One of my goals this year was not to buy more skincare until I worked through what I had on hand. I am a skincare junkie and have collected a good stash. These Caudalie products are some of my favorites right now. I love this mask for detox, use it right after the shower and rinse with warm water. Also, this rich cream for during the day in the winter. It smells so good! P.S. Dermstore is having a sale soon so add to cart. It will be hard for me to resist.
