Hello! I am slowly emerging from my COVID cocoon. I know this is everyone’s favorite weekly post so I figured that this week I’d move this post to Monday (regular programming will resume after today!). This weekend was… as would be expected being sick, extreeeemely uneventful. I mostly read and watched a LOT of TV. Tomorrow’s blog post will be a post about everything I watched (it is a truly scary amount of TV and movies), but on the books front the new American Royals book (out 5/31) was a pretty perfect reading companion… I think it’s my favorite of the series so far.
Monday Reading, 5.23.22

Just a really pretty sundress.
Blair has me wanting allllll of Kate Spade’s new cabana collection – it is so good!
Love the look of this woven leather tote. It looks much more expensive than it is.
How to make a bikini wax less painful.
If you have an event, buy this dress! It is just one of those feels good, looks good, on-trend pieces. I have and LOVE. Also in pink here. This keeps selling out!
This pesto steak salad looks so yummy.
Where to eat, stay, and play in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Reformation just does dresses so well.

This woven raffia belt is so fun
A great way to subtly mix patterns (I’d wear with pretty much any of my dresses).
Loved this tour of Emma Straub’s (book filled!) Brooklyn home. (Speaking of Emma, more about her new book here!)
I ordered this cropped tank this week on my friend Megan’s recommendation. I got the black and the white. (In plus sizes here!) Just a good layering piece.
Is your skincare routine too complicated?
This New York City apartment is just too chic.
I love this woven caned purse!
Gisele, on her Devil Wears Prada cameo.
OOH! Anthropologie did one of my fav dresses in eyelet. I love the yellow. (The classic comes in a slew of pretty new patterns too).

Hope you’re feeling better! Agree on the striped tshirt. It’s amazing!
It’s definitely my favorite Amazon find in a while!
I have the smaller crossbody version of that Madewell woven purse and can confirm it’s a great value. BOHO Bottega Veneta vibes.
I love it!!
Hi Grace! That Nordstroms tank top looks cute! Would you say it shows your stomach even with high-waisted things? I’m looking for a top that hits right where the pants or skirt end (if that makes sense), but it looks like this tank might be too cropped for that?
I just ordered it, so it hasn’t come yet, but on my friend it showed just a small sliver of stomach.
Glad you are on the mend… the link to the Farm Rio dress doesn’t seem to be working. So curious to see it!
