Weekend Reads, No. 45

Oh me, oh my, today is an exciting day! Edwin and I have been apart for over a week and a half while he has been on location for two different shoots… today, we’re flying and meeting somewhere for a surprise tomorrow. We are pretty ecstatic + I can’t wait to be reunited with Edwin so be sure to follow along on my Instagram Story.

Thanks so much for always keeping up with us. We love have you tagging along! Stay tuned for lots more content this coming week. I’m loving the holiday content and planning on posting seven days a week through the rest of the year (did you see my Saturday post yesterday?). Read below for my Weekend Reads, No. 45 including comfort food chicken dinners, a gorgeous series of posts on a Nantucket wedding, a new clothing line, the benefits of disappointment, brightening masks, and a guide to Venice. P.S. who is counting down until Thanksgiving!? Me!

P.S.S. I have two extra tickets to Friday at the Garden & Gun Jubilee on December 1st that I am selling. They each cost $85 and I’m selling mine for $75! Email me at jillian@rhymeandreason-jillian.com if you want them.
