Is it possible for a short week to feel even shorter? Looking back at my week, which was filled with deadlines, lots of proofreading, watching tennis (THIS), and ultimately trying to say cool in what felt like a never-ending bout of 100-degree weather, I’d say the answer is yes. But cheers to the weekend, nonetheless, even if it crept up hidden by the end of a busy week and a heatwave! New York Fashion Week started today so I plan on spending the weekend clicking through photos on the new Vogue Runway, doing all of the laundry I should have done last weekend (a.k.a the three-day birthday marathon. HBD, my friends!), refilling our freezer with homemade tamales from the farmers’ market, and staying cool.

And a shameless plug … my editor spotlight on the Stampington & Company blog. If you know me, you know I’ve developed a not-so-subtle devotion to using rose water in my skincare routine. We shot some lovely photos to go along with my post that coincides with the autumn issue of Willow and Sage. If anything, check out the photos – our director of photography is a wizard with the camera.
Great post Natalie!! Now I’m ready for Fri night in the city! Cheers
