How was your week? This past week was a pretty busy one. I have had a lot going on offline and am feeling a bit behind with work so am working a half day or so today… I had some photo shoots get moved around so today is going to be a shoot day: we are shooting the editorial photos for my upcoming stationery collab… YAY. The other big thing is that my new site design launches next week. I couldn’t be more excited for that. It has been a long time coming! Tonight I’m going to see the new Top Gun with my dad and tomorrow I’m seeing my sister and her little fam. Whatever you are up to, I hope it’s great (stay healthy and happy!). xoxo

Hi Grace. Thanks for the links. I look forward to these every Saturday.
I know I had dropped a link in this space to the first Manolo B / Birk collaboration & you picked up a pair after. Did you see they are adding more styles?

Polka dots!
Oh wow, these are incredible! Thank you for being my Manolo x Birkenstock correspondent, I hadn’t seen these yet! I will probably skip these as I bought the purple ones from the collab earlier, and a new pair of orange suede… I need to control myself! I love the clear and white though.
Thanks so much for sharing my post, Grace! Always love your weekend round-ups 🙂
-xo, Azanique
Of course! I loved your post!
