Weekend Reads, No. 60

I hope everyone has had a fun and eventful or lovely and relaxing weekend! I can’t believe this week is over and it’s already Sunday. Our weekend kicked off Friday evening with dinner at Zero Restaurant + Bar with my girlfriend Lauren and her boyfriend who came to Charleston from New York for a wedding. It was so so fun getting together since we hadn’t seen each other since I was in New York back in September! Edwin and I then hopped on an early morning flight yesterday and headed out to California where we are now and will be for just over a week.

We’re here for our best friends engagement party next weekend (eeeek, can’t wait!) and decided to add on a few days to see Edwin’s family and for work purposes for Edwin. We’ll be all over Southern California this week from San Diego to Newport Beach to Los Angeles and I can’t wait. I’m planning on eating Sugarfish as many times as possible!

I’m most excited to see my California friends and family who I miss so much since moving to the East Coast. Cheers to a beautiful Sunday everyone! Keep reading below for my Weekend Reads, No. 60 including a year-round guide to Banff, tropical brunch inspiration, a Provence playlist, the healthiest on-the-go snacks from registered dietitians, the cutest March lifestyle guide, a perfect under $100 Easter dress, a new interior design book, the new Lilly Pulitzer collaboration you don’t want to miss and more. xx
