Happy Memorial Day weekend! It\u2019s funny to think back to this time last year and compare it to now\u2014so much has changed. We\u2019re still working on many of the same things, but there are also so many exciting new ventures underway! And of course, last year\u2019s big project, the Quick and Cozy<\/em><\/a> cookbook, is now out in the world!<\/p>\n

Just like last year, I couldn\u2019t be more excited for summer. The family is planning to travel for good chunks of the season\u2014mostly around the U.S., but possibly over to Europe too. We\u2019ll definitely be making our way back to Cleveland. Honestly, I\u2019m pretty excited about that! I always say, there\u2019s nothing like a Cleveland summer\u2014green grass, sunshine, and that relaxed Midwest energy. It\u2019s my favorite.<\/p>\n

And with the holiday weekend officially here, it really feels like summer is kicking off. This weekend is always such a fun start to the season, especially if the weather cooperates. We\u2019re crossing our fingers for sunshine! After getting home from Miami, our week started off cold\u2014it snowed all day Monday\u2014but thankfully by the end of the week, the sun came out. When it does shine here this time of year, it\u2019s so<\/em> pretty\u2014just in time for golden hour too. Truly perfect.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m traveling again this week! We\u2019ve got a shoot coming up with a full prep day tomorrow and the shoot day on Tuesday. I\u2019m keeping the location under wraps for now\u2014I want it to be a surprise when we share more about what it\u2019s all about. But if you follow along on social, you might be able to guess! I\u2019m really excited. A little nervous, honestly\u2014but I know it\u2019s going to be something really special.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also finally sharing all new Williams Sonoma summer event dates below, so be sure to check those out! I\u2019m excited to be visiting some new cities. Hopefully someday we can add London and another Canadian stop too\u2014that would be so fun!<\/p>\n

Lastly, if you missed it, here are 50+ of the Most Popular Memorial Day Recipes<\/a> to make your weekend extra delicious.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for today! This week\u2019s Favorite Things<\/em> is on the shorter side, but I\u2019ll try to share more next week. Wishing everyone a fun and sunny holiday weekend!<\/p>\n

1. Things i\u2019m Loving, Wanting, and Excited to Try.<\/h2>\n

this is so fun\u2026the Alta app<\/a>! You guys know how in Clueless<\/a> Cher uses a computer program to select her outfits? Well, now there\u2019s an app for that, Alta<\/a>! Alta is your new personal AI stylist! I\u2019m excited to play around with this, even if just for fun!<\/p>\n

excited to try\u2026Ice Cream for Bears<\/a>. When we where in Miami, I had the most fun going to get ice with Oslo after dinner. He\u2019s so cute you guys! Unlike my mom, but very much like my dad, vanilla is his favorite. I am going to get this ice cream for him to try. He loves coming over to my house for treats! Pretty sure he\u2019s going to enjoy this. The is cream is made with grass-fed dairy, humanely raised on regenerative farms, organic egg yolks and raw, unfiltered honey. For vanilla ice cream (queen bean)<\/a>, these are the ingredients: Milk, Cream, Raw Honey, Skim Milk, Egg Yolk, Pure Vanilla Extract, Vanilla Bean. Fully approve!<\/p>\n

everything in my cart (low)\u2026let\u2019s go through the new summer Zara pieces. A pretty Long Lace Skirt<\/a>, a very cute Embroidered Tie Top<\/a>, and a gorgeous Woven Shopper Bag<\/a>, Floral Woven Shopper<\/a>, plus this Crochet Effect Shoulder Bag<\/a> too (so adorable for the beach\/pool or a picnic!).<\/p>\n

I adore these Patent Effect Sandals<\/a> and High Heeled Buckle Sandals<\/a> and would wear them with this Asymmetrical Lace Dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And lastly, how cute is this Charm Bikini Top<\/a> and matching Bikini Bottoms<\/a>? Also, Zara\u2019s swimwear <\/a>is SO GREAT. I never want to spend too much on a bathing suit since I\u2019m not in them all that often.<\/p>\n

This Free People Midi Tube Dress<\/a> is really cute. I would choose the Ballad Blue color. And the Zoey Linen Shorts<\/a> from Reformation are the perfect summer find.<\/p>\n
