Weekend In The City + Highlights

What a wonderful week it has been! My summer break from teaching is winding down (GOLLY!) so it was beyond lovely to spend a few days out in Sag Harbor with my parents, sister, aunt, uncle, and cousin. I posted some fun photos from my week in the Hamptons on Instagram so be sure to follow along! I’m now looking forward to my last weekend in New York before I head back to the West Coast in a week.

As always, my highlights from the week are below but I’ve decided to organize my highlights a little better for y’all going forward. You’ll now see my “highlights” of links I discovered this week as well as “Shopping & Sales” which includes my favorite products and the must shop sales of the weekend. In addition, you’ll find a section titled “With Love From R&R” that points out any fun posts etc. from R&R this week. I hope you enjoy!

Highlights:

1. Beat the heat with this frozen bubbly lemonade cocktail. (stylemepretty.com/living)
