Hello and happy Saturday! Tonight we are going to a Dynasty-themed 80’s black tie birthday party (planning to wear this!) and I am pretty excited for that. It was a busy week! I’ve had my whole immediate family here since last Saturday, plus lots of work preparing for the Sephora Sale (yesterday – check out my big guide!) and the Shopbop Sale (Monday!). On Monday, we fly to Dallas to see the eclipse. Whatever you are up to, I hope it’s great. Enjoy the your weekend.

Hi Grace, This was such a fun round up! I think people make pizza out to be harder than it is. I mean of course if you have wood fire or an outdoor pizza oven that’s a bit of a game changer, besides that pizza is pretty easy. One of the best compliments I ever received was from a friend who requested my pizza when he woke up after surgery, lol. I’ve had good luck at home using a cast iron skillet ( you can make the dough thick or thin) or the back of a sheet pan and I also have an enamel pizza pan which makes really crisp thin crust. The trick is to turn your oven up as high as it will go. Good pizza= very hot oven. Maybe you can do a post about it? Pizza party? Love all the cute spring dresses and colors. I ordered the cute Sorel wedges in black from the Glamour round up. I have a pair in a tan/olive color way and they are so comfortable and cute! That dynasty party sounds so fun! What a great idea and love the dress you picked to wear.
