Weekend Reading, 3.7.26

How to make the daylight savings time switch a little easier (it’s this weekend, yikes), why we all need platonic soulmates. How our snacking habits are transforming the restaurant industry. The best books of March. A guide to the 2026 Oscars. How to score a bigger hotel room for free. Cheap, healthy dinner recipes. Everything to know about Apple’s new laptop. How to use boob tape. Everything new streaming this month. Chef Nobu’s sushi rice secrets. Extremely delicious-looking buffalo chicken bowls. The best places to travel in June. Plus loads more. I loved this week’s list and hope you do too!

Best of Baths

If you did not know, I am a total bathing junkie: bath time is my favorite. I probably take a bath at least 3 or 4 times a week. For me, bathing is not about getting clean; it’s about relaxing and unwinding. I don’t have a fancy tub (my house is pretty small, so it would be hard to put one in), but I dream of having a bigger tub one day. For now, I’m happy with my little tub and all of the delightful salts and oils. It’s been a while since I’ve done a roundup of favorite baths, so I wanted to give you an update. There are certain things that are evergreen. The HigherDose Seratonin soak, Susanne Kaufmann’s bath oil, Kate McLeod’s eucalyptus pebbles: I restock these constantly so I’m never without. The Dr. Singha mustard soak is essential if I feel like I am getting sick; magnesium flakes are a must if my muscles feel sore… but otherwise, I like to kind of “cocktail” my bath with at least three different things! Usually, I do something hydrating (an oil or the pebbles), plus some salts or magnesium flakes. Maybe a little essential oil if I am feeling really wild and crazy. Below are my personal favorites.

Carly’s Cut, Vol. 7

February. The month of love, the tail end of winter, and mercifully the shortest stretch on the calendar. Short as it is, it passed in a blur and I’m a little sad to see it go. I’m not usually sentimental about months or seasons (this is coming from someone actively begging for warmer days), but this one treated me especially well.

Maybe it’s the sense of momentum building, or maybe I’m just feeling unusually content with where things stand right now, but I’ve got a good feeling about what’s ahead. Ideally that future involves a little more shopping, a lot more home-cooked meals with friends, and enough quiet time to recharge before diving headfirst into whatever comes next.

Silky Blouses and Tops

I have talked a bit about feeling a little bit over all of my dresses. It’s a weird shift. I’ve always been a dress girl, but lately . . . I just can’t. I’m not sure what is going on, I think I just feel a little more pulled together in separates. I have been quietly overhauling my closet. The pieces I feel best in right now are jeans, oxfords, and (if I am getting more dressed up), a lady jacket or a silky blouse. We tackled lady jackets a few weeks ago; the timing felt right for a blouses edit! I love these sorts of tops. They feel tailored and femine, they flatter the body without being constricting . . . they are easy, yet still convey effort. Rohé and Kallmeyer have quickly become two of my favorite brands, and both have well, a top-notch selections of tops! On the note of Rohé, one of my girlfriends sold me on this black jersey scarf top (now on sale). At her advice, I went one size up.

Everything I Read in February 2026

February was a truly wonderful month of reading. I read nine books total, and would heartily recommend all of them. In Her Defense and The Force of Such Beauty were my favorites (they both received an A+) but truly, every single book on this list is worth the read and that is not something I say each month!
