Inspired by… one of my favorite summer movies, Sabrina (the remake with Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford). Everything about it is excellent: the setting, the style, the story. Give it a watch if you haven’t seen it before!
Watching… As noted above, Sabrina!
Planning… our church’s dinner dance was this Saturday and, as I’m writing this the morning before the event, I’m embroiled in last minute details: seating arrangements, for one! These are the little details I most enjoy
Saturday’s plate setting for the dinner dance. Such an incredible evening!
Wearing… This stunning La DoubleJ style and these sandals, plus this clutch (see my outfit here!) I am completely obsessed.
Reading… I’m committed to finding some time this week to sit down and read a book! As I’m in a summer party mood, I’m thinking of revisiting either Seating Arrangements or Gatherings.
Wishlisting… A bunch of soft collared shirts for the summer. My top choice is this one. I love how easy and polished a great shirt looks with a pair of shorts, and I’m aiming to find a happy middle ground between casual wear (this shirt and these shorts) and something more formal.
Cooking… Honestly, re-subscribing to Hello Fresh has been a total game-changer. Not having to decide on three to four dinner a week, let alone shop for the ingredients, has been such a huge relief. The meal selections are so fun and I’ve started deeply enjoying cooking again. This isn’t sponsored (would jump at a sponsorship!), but if you’re interested in trying, you can claim a free box here.
Buying… The original sandals I purchased for my dinner dance on Saturday weren’t right for me (I have come to the conclusion, once again, that even a low heel isn’t something I like—even though these sandals were incredibly high-quality and beautiful), so I picked up this pair of Ancient Greek Sandals as recommended by Jen from Magpie. I absolutely LOVE them, and can’t wait to wear them all summer and summers to come.
Planning… A special day in Manhattan with a friend visiting from the UK! I’m reviewing my city guides to plan the best itinerary for us.
I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
