Hello from Isla Holbox! I am here for a long weekend / mini vacation with Becca and our friend Kate. I had spotted our hotel (Punta Caliza) ages ago on Instagram and we’d been dying to plan a trip and finally we are here! It is absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend staying here if you visit Holbox (sidenote: hate having to say this but always want to be fully transparent – we paid for this!) The Wifi doesn’t really work here so I haven’t really been able to post much.
In other news, this was a very big week for the podcast. We had Alyssa Mastromonaco (Obama’s former deputy chief of staff) AND did our live show (pics to come from that on Monday!!). So now I’m drinking margaritas in the sunshine and just soaking it all in. I also did a big interview with Planoly where I talked all about my career, starting the blog, starting the pod, my typical day, and more! If you’ve ever wondered what influencers do all day, definitely give it a read!
Weekend Reading | 4.6.19
Is marriage becoming obsolete?
I had a lot of thank you gifts to send this week and everyone got this candle. It’s my favorite and a more reasonably priced alternative to the Le Labo Santal 26 candle (also a fav but so spendy!).
How to be a better listener.
I love the eyelet/scallop details on the sleeve of this pretty top.
2019 is already a great year for movies!
You know I love a good block heel and these are amazing – tempted to order in both silver and yellow!
An underrated color combo.
A supermodel’s travel essentials for hydrated skin.
This outfit – and accessories on Blair is just a dream. I need those earrings and I love the sheer lilac.
I definitely have a straw/caned bag obsession – how fab is this one!?
How to get through the “ugly days” of using a retinoid.
Aw, these dad stories are so cute!!!
These ($15) rainbow hoop earrings are SO FUN.
The wooden bauble handle on this handbag makes it look so high end – it’s only $52, though!
Ten things to do over the weekend to have a better Monday!
This Reformation dress came in the mail today and it’s pretty perfect. I will say that the sizing on this one is better than usual. Usually with this brand I have to go up a couple sizes. The medium fits perfectly!
How to be more patient.
Really love these woven mules and they are a great price.
Love this essay on creativity (and that Atelier Dore is doing a creativity month!)
Speaking of creativity: Krystal’s Grey Gardens shoot is EPIC. I have been so inspired by her lately!
The best “home pants.” Feeling very seen by Man Repeller this week! 😉
Jess wrote a really thoughtful post about dealing with rejection.
I’m absolutely obsessed with this rainbow stripe sundress.
Amazing reads, definitely gonna spend some time this weekend going through all of them. Have a nice weekend!
thanks, marta!!!
Hope you’re enjoying your little getaway, Grace! You deserve all the rest this weekend. 🙂 Thanks for the links!
