Weekend Reads, No. 31

It’s been a busy little weekend! I hit the road right after work on Friday and drove down to Laguna for a girlfriend’s birthday. I also stopped into the Tory Burch Sport pop-up and was in athletic wear heaven! On Saturday morning, I drove back up to Los Angeles and hopped on a quick flight to Phoenix for a baby shower. It was at The Henry (one of my favorite Phoenix spots!) and absolutely joyous and lovely! Afterward, my mom and I buckled down and did some wedding to-dos, which felt great and super productive! I finished the day with dinner with one of my best friends. Today, I’m working out and doing more wedding planning before flying back to Los Angeles. Edwin has been out of town for almost two weeks on a shoot and I’m so overjoyed to be reunited tonight! Hope everyone had a beautiful summer weekend!
