Happy Sunday loves! We returned home from California last Wednesday night and have been in Charleston the rest of the week. Edwin and I have both been working away since returning home but we’ve also spent some fun time with my brother and snuck in some work on our house. We went appliance shopping on Thursday with Olivia, which was actually so exciting! I picture us in our house every single day and I just can’t wait to move in in the new year!
In other news, I was hit hard for 48 hours with a summer cold but thanks to mass amounts of sleep, I beat it pretty quickly! I also cleaned out my closet… ha, lots of exciting stuff happening around here! I have a handful of amazing events coming up the next two weeks in Charleston so it was a treat to have a low key weekend! Did anyone else treat this weekend as an excuse to get organized for the beginning of a new season? Keep reading for my Weekend Reads, No. 75 complete with 7 emerging US wine regions other than Napa, what to read this month, September horoscopes, the new must-have face mask everyone will be talking about, John Krasinski’s favorite episode of The Office, my fall tennis shoe obsession, the four most underrated food cities in America, and more!
P.S. if you’re looking for something to watch tonight, then I highly recommend Always At The Carlyle! My mom and I watched it recently and adored it. Any New York lover will.
