Weekend Reads, No. 94

Happy Sunday from Palmetto Bluff! We are having the best family weekend down here! My parents, Edwin, and my siblings, Sarah and Clarke, all came down and rented a house for the weekend because Edwin and I are running the half marathon and Clarke is running the full marathon down here today. We might literally be running as you read this! I can’t imagine a more beautiful place to run a half or full marathon. Palmetto Bluff is simply stunning! This weekend was my first time down here and I already can’t wait to come back.

I’ll be sharing multiple posts from our trip soon so stay tuned! The absolutely glorious spring weather we’ve had this weekend has had me smiling from ear to ear. What have your weekend plans been!? Keep reading for my Weekend Reads, No. 94 complete with the ultimate Caribbean guide, what to read this month, a ‘how to’ on astrology, a new beauty collaboration I’m obsessed with, what to say to someone who is grieving, affordable pink statement earrings, how to combat dark circles, and more!

Shopping & Sales:

1. Sweet & Spark’s spring collection is here! There are so many gorgeous floral pieces like these and this. I also love these!

2. Stop traffic: Summer Fridays has a brand new face mask out. This one targets dark spots, dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles.

3. The Lake Pajamas new spring collection came out this week and it’s gorgeous. The theme is desert which might not sound gorgeous at first but the muted pastels are right up my alley! I love this simple short set, this stripe short set, this nightgown, and this ribbon tank set.

4. I had the privilege of attending a dinner this week with Brahmin, which made me fall in love with this purse! The shape is beyond!

5. To all my beauty lovers out there, this makeup collab is amazing! One of my favorite beauty companies, Bobbi Brown, teamed up with one of my favorite clothing companies, Ulla Johnson, for a limited edition makeup release. The color palette is gorgeous!
