Links I Love Week 36

This week was back to school in the US and La Rentrée in Paris. I have to say I felt completely overwhelmed this week and I wasn’t going back to school or work after a long break. As a creative, ideas come in waves and this week I was jotting down ideas left and right. Over the weekend, I cleaned my apartment and got rid of a pile of boxes including a few returns to Nordstroms. It feels good to have a clean and clutter free apartment and makes me feel a little less overwhelmed starting off the week.

This week I bought a subscription to the NYT online version which opened up a whole new world of reading. If you aren’t a subscriber, you only get a few articles to read per month. Now I can read an unlimited amount and I couldn’t be happier about it. I hope you enjoy this week’s links. xo

How to Get Ahead Before Going Away

I decided to keep the Sézane coat I purchased a few weeks ago. I was on the fence because I bought it in camel which I typically choose black for coats. My friend Jennifer convinced me it was a good classic coat and color. I think it needs a scarf with a pop of color like this one.
