Le Weekend XXI

 

I was recently asked how to elevate a simple jeans and boots outfit, and I immediately sent this photo of Elin Kling wearing the Toteme flat boot – so chic. For the past few years I’ve used brown kraft paper to wrap any and all gifts; I find it to be such a good base for any type of tags, accessories or ribbon (grosgrain is my go to). I’m hoping to check out King Richard on HBO Max, the homebody in me loves that movies are being released on streaming services the same day they are released in theaters. Have a wonderful weekend!

Le Weekend XX

 

Some might think it’s too early to put the holiday decorations up, but I’ve had this Frasier fir oil in my reed diffusers for the past month which has me excited to put our tree up today. I’m not a big fan of Black Friday (and I’m not in the market for anything in particular), but will keep my eyes peeled for great deals. House of Gucci premiered this week and I can’t wait to check it out – Lady Gaga is one of my favorites and the fashion is sure to be impeccable. Enjoy the long weekend!

Le Weekend XIX

 

The temps dropped earlier this week, which lead to our first crockpot meal of the season. We make this crockpot chicken taco chili often – it is so good. During the cold snap I realized that I didn’t have any warm shoes for quick errands or walking the dog. I got these ultra mini Uggs in black (of course) and have been wearing them non-stop since they arrived. The Row recently launched their first fragrance, a trio of hand-blended oils exploring the elusive essence of Sandalwood, created in collaboration with L’Oeil du Vert. I can’t wait to check them out. Have a wonderful weekend!

Le Weekend XVIII

 

This Cos longline leather blazer is not my typical style, but I can’t stop thinking about it; it would look great paired with denim and a fabulous pair of shoes. My recent post on Joan Didion reminded me of her perfect ad campaign for Celine by Phoebe Philo – I can only hope I’m half as chic at her age. My home office is getting an upgrade and it seems like the perfect place for the Pierre Jeanneret chair I’ve been lusting over for quite some time. Have a wonderful weekend!

Le Weekend XVI

 

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were recently spotted stepping out in New York for a smoke break. Mary Kate tends to take more risks with her fashion choices, while Ashley sticks to neutral colors and classic silhouettes. Both of these longline coats with practical footwear give me inspiration for the season ahead. We have a few home renovation projects underway, and I can’t wait until they’re complete so I can style all of the corners with books and artwork. Hoping we get a bunch of cute trick-or-treaters this weekend, Happy Halloween!

Le Weekend XV

 

I’m an avid reader and try to finish a book a week. Little Secrets is my favorite recent read – I couldn’t get anything done until I finished it. Season Three of Succession recently started and I can’t wait to catch up. A new coffee table is needed – I’m thinking something round with chunky legs like this one from West Elm. Have a wonderful weekend, all!

Le Weekend XIV

 

I’m gearing up for a beautiful three-day wedding at a charming bed and breakfast in the heart of the Hudson Valley. This event has been years in the making and it’s surreal that it’s finally here. Thanks to the unseasonably warm weather, I’ll be wearing this relaxed midi dress with my Manolo Blahnik Callamu sandals to the rehearsal dinner tonight. I’m excited to finally give the bride and groom the weekend they deserve!
