Weekend Notes

Cheers to a long weekend (and the unofficial kickoff to summer!) I’m happy to say that I have almost zero plans for the next three days, which thankfully leaves plenty of time for spontaneous outings, long brunches and impromptu barbecues with friends. Or even just the luxury of cracking open this book (I’ve wanted to read it for ages) and kicking back with an iced tea while Phoebe naps. What are all of you up to? Hope it’s full of sunshine and fun, and be sure to scroll to the bottom to enjoy a few of my favorite links from the past week!

ps – stumbled upon these gorgeous images from J.Crew’s latest style guide while shopping Pinterest for ideas on what to pack for our upcoming trip to St. Tropez. I kind of want to bring all these looks in my suitcase! I included links to each of the product pages at the bottom of the post in case you spot any must-haves.
