Happy weekend! The positive feedback on these weekend update posts has been wonderful, and I’m thrilled to continue sharing these snippets with you. Let’s dive into some exciting highlights from this week!
Blair Breitenstein’s New Book Launch
I couldn’t be more excited to share that my dear friend Blair Breitenstein—also known on Instagram as @blairz—has released her latest endeavor: Manhattan Wardrobe: A Fashion Lover’s Guide to the Best of New York. This vibrant book is a treasure trove filled with Blair’s favorite shopping spots, dining experiences, and must-visit places around the city. The illustrations are signature Blair—stylish, captivating, and rich in color. I just received my copy and am already eyeing additional ones as perfect gifts for family and friends!
Anticipating Banana Republic x Zankov
Mark your calendars! The collaboration between Banana Republic and Henry Zankov launches on Tuesday, October 20. Known for his bold, textured knitwear, Zankov’s collection is sure to be a hit. Having met Henry, I can vouch that not only is he a brilliant designer, but a genuinely wonderful person. I can’t wait to see the creative pieces he produces in collaboration with BR!
Must-Have Holiday Pants
Exciting news for the fashionistas out there: the best-selling pants that flew off the shelves in less than 24 hours last year are back in stock! These high-demand pieces are gorgeous in a stunning Champagne color, making them perfect for holiday parties. It feels great to confirm that the perfect holiday party pants do indeed exist!
The Plaza Hotel Restoration
In historic news, the iconic Plaza Hotel is set to close for renovations lasting at least four years. This restoration will bring an update to its beautifully historic façade. I fondly remember my staycation at the Plaza nearly a decade ago, organized by Fairmont, which remains one of my most unforgettable experiences. Having attended many events there over the years, I’m eagerly anticipating the hotel’s grand reveal once the updates are complete!
Dreaming of Cornwall
Can I just say how dreamy Cornwall looks? It’s high on my travel destination list, especially with its dramatic coastlines that have me completely captivated. Planning a journey there next summer is definitely tempting, and I can already envision those picturesque landscapes!
Brooklinen Friends & Family Sale
The Brooklinen Friends & Family Sale is officially live! With a generous 20% off sitewide and even larger savings when you bundle, you can enjoy total savings of 30–50%. It’s the perfect time to stock up on cozy essentials while this limited-time event runs!
Loeffler Randall’s Exclusive Offer
Not to be outdone, Loeffler Randall is also rolling out a Friends & Family sale. Enjoy 30% off at checkout! If you’re looking for stylish picks, don’t miss out on my recommendations here and here. The options are endless!
Colorful New Arrivals
Speaking of stylish finds, I can’t help but share how fun and vibrant the latest arrivals are! Think beads, pleats, and fringe galore. The assortment is sure to bring a splash of color to any wardrobe.
The Chic Drew Shoulder Bag
Let’s talk about accessories! The latest release from The Horse is the Drew Shoulder Bag, a perfect blend of chic style and practicality. Pre-orders are open now, so if you’re on the hunt for a new bag, this could be the one!
Movie Buzz: You Can See Everything
Finally, the cinematic world is buzzing with excitement over You Can See Everything, which just hit theaters. Friends have been raving about how mind-blowing it is, and I’m planning to catch it soon! Here’s a fun fact: I’m not a huge fan of the movies—I’ve only managed to see about 20 films in theaters over the past two decades. During my ten years in NYC, I only went once. A significant change in plans is clearly on the horizon!
Let’s relish the weekend and enjoy all these delightful highlights together! Catch you in my next update!
