Weekend Reading 8.22.26
Happy weekend. This was a really nice week, and I’m hoping for some good weather (the thunderstorms have been nonstop!) so I can get outside and read in the sunshine… my favorite thing in the world.
Eight Sleep Pod 5 Review
I love fancy things, and I love to sleep, but still: I never thought I’d be the kind of person who spends almost $3,000 on a mattress cover. And yet here we are; it’s the best money I’ve spent in ages. This is my honest Eight Sleep Pod 5 review, written after forking over my own money for it, plus months of actually sleeping on it — not a 24-hour first impression. Let me back up, because the way I got here is very on-brand for me. I’d been hearing about Eight Sleep for a while — mostly floating around Substack, where everyone seemed to be super obsessed with it. I was curious, but $3,000-curious? Not quite.
The Wednesday Ten, No. 19
Every Wednesday, I’ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. I’m excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe it’s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe it’s an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.
The Up Next Edit, Vol. 7
Admittedly, I’ve reached that point in the Charleston summer where I’ve all but given up on getting dressed. It somehow feels hotter with each passing day, and all I can think about is the return of layering. While this month’s edit includes plenty of pieces that could carry me through the remainder of the season, I couldn’t resist letting my anticipation for cooler weather get the best of me (hence the suede jackets in the middle of August.) Lately, I’ve felt incredibly inspired by Grace to embrace a little more texture, color, and pattern in the way I get dressed.
Styling Last Week’s Best-Sellers, Vol. 17
Every week on Instagram, I share the previous week’s best-selling products. You can always see those collections, saved here on my ShopMy Page. It’s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we wanted to introduce a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how to wear them. Today, we are styling this chic Farm Rio lace top, this gorgeous black sateen dress, and these super cute mesh flats — the brand will surprise you!
