Links I Love Week 20
Shop Coffee and Peonies Print Here
This week feels like one big blur. After working hard for the last month, THE NEW PRINT SHOP is finally here. 🥳 I am so happy with the way it came out. The site looks and feels like an extension of the blog. I finally combined the two brands to become one. I can’t wait to hear what you think. I recorded a podcast with Dinner for One, we made this delicious sweet potato quiche together.
I am slowly making plans for Paris in October. I will talk more about that once things are finalized. Paris has exciting plans to slowly open up and to welcome Americans starting June 9th. Henri and I got caught in the rain on the way to puppy class and ended up taking a nice afternoon nap. It’s still warming up and I finally bought a few dresses in anticipation of warmer weather ahead. I have plans to visit my Dad for Memorial Day weekend and it will be good to be home to see friends and family.
Grab your coffee and croissants and join me for this week’s links. It’s a fun week of favorite links.

Here is an insider tip for Caudalie. They currently are running a Friends and Family sale of up to 50%. They recently redid a lot of their packaging and updated some of their formulas so they are using the sale to clear inventory. It’s a great time to stock up. I bought this cream and this brightening treatment. I also was able to snag this night cream as a bonus with points I have accumulated from shopping with Caudalie.
