This was one of my favorite weeks… ever. I got to spend quality time with so many of my friends, even those that don’t live here, this week. I kicked off the week with a brunch at Buvette with Meghan. Then I went to a morning movie (Isn’t It Romantic… not great, not bad) and lunch with my fave group of New Jersey sisters on Monday. On Tuesday I saw Julia and Thomas for a quick breakfast, then Meghan for coffee on the Upper East Side at Ralph’s, and a cooking class with my friends Maddie and Ryan. Yesterday, I got to squeeze in an hour chatting with Maxie and today (and tomorrow!!!) I get to see Nicole!!!!!!
THE BEST. I felt so lucky and I was just extremely grateful that the stars aligned and I got to see so many of my favorite people.
I keep getting SO many questions about my iPhone case. I actually picked up a second one this week because I love the style that much.
ONE // On Being Single In Your 30s
My dear friend Meghan told me she had written something about being single but that she was afraid to actually publish it. I’m SO GLAD that she did. First of all, I think she beautifully shared a very vulnerable post that a lot of people can relate to. Secondly, she opened up a really important conversation for everyone. Men, women, single, married, everything in between. Take a moment to read this, you won’t regret it. And don’t forget the comments– I also loved everyone’s contributions there.
TWO // Gingham Gown
Anyone looking for a gown?!!?! I hope so. Because this gingham gown couldn’t be more lovely. I love the pink AND the blue. It’s also pretty reasonably priced for a gown with that kind of details. (If a gown isn’t on your shopping list, hehe, J. Crew just released a TON of gingham in their new arrivals.)
THREE // Yale Graduate Takes the SAT as an Adult
There are about 4,000 things I’d rather do before taking the SAT as an adult, but I found watching someone else go through to be highly entertaining. And also, like, really impressive.
FOUR // Amazon Prime Reading
Are you guys on Amazon Prime? If so, you have access to Prime Reading… which now includes magazines. I had no idea until I accidentally stumbled on it in my Kindle app. I think the viewing experience is best on an iPad, but it works great still on a phone. I’ve been loving flipping through some of my favorite magazines.
FIVE // “Only Us”
“Only Us” is my favorite song from Dear Evan Hanson. It nearly makes me cry every time I listen to it. And this is one of the best renditions yet– it’s particularly beautiful.
You’ve had such a great week! I’ve had fun as well. My plans got cancelled on the snow day we had, and I loved having newfound time in my day to stay cosy at home. They day after was amazing weather so I spent the whole day out. Today I’ll be seeing a friend’s dance concert, and tomorrow I’ll be going to a (music) concert! // I’m single and living for it, but I haven’t given much thought to whether I’d take it in such stride when I’m older. Ideally, I would, but who knows. Meghan was so eloquent and I loved reading her thoughts and process. // My favourite song from Dear Evan Hansen is Words Fail! Makes me cry every time 😭 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
So glad you enjoyed the post, Audrey!!
Ahhh!! That version of Only Us!!! It absolutely stunning. Ben and Taylor sound incredible together. Soooo good!
i’m dyinnggggggg for a gingham gown!
chevrons & éclairs
Song was great. The try Try Guys as always awesome.
I loved the Try Guys and you’re right I would rather do almost anything than take the SAT’s again but I think what he said at the end (last two minutes) is really important too.
I love the Try Guys! When I first saw that video I was not sure I actually wanted to watch it. I hated the SATs and I think there was still some PTSD from it! But I’m glad I watched it because it was super entertaining!
Sounds like you had a fulfilling week 🙂 Meghan’s post was so so perfect!! I told all of my friends to read it, and they loved it ,and shared the link!! It was such a beautiful piece on a very sensitive topic, and she nailed it! Have a great weekend, Carly!
