Weekend Notes: 4.20.25
An excellent face mask, three recent outfits, The Weekly Top & more.
Happy Easter Sunday (and happy 420) to those who celebrate! The kids have been off for spring break, and it's been fairly busy with us opting not to go away this week. On Friday, we met up with a bunch of friends to take the kids to the Museum of Natural History; respectfully, what the HELL were we thinking? A bunch of New Yorkers (who should honestly know better) decide to take a party of 15 to one of the busiest museums, during one of the busiest weeks of the year. Ummm… while we had fun, because we’re good at having fun anywhere, never again during any kids break.
Links & Things I’ve Enjoyed from the Week:
A few weeks ago, I was chatting with Keith about Pulp Fiction, one of our favorite movies ever, and I started thinking about how I was in the mood to rewatch some of our favorite Quentin Tarantino movies. This Vanity Fair article ranking all of Quentin Tarantino’s movies came at the right time.
I slept with this overnight face mask last night, and my skin looked so good this morning, if I say so myself.
The Printemps store has opened, and the interior is absolutely incredible.
Earlybird, our favorite THC/CBD gummies , has a 20% off site-wide with code 420. They’re the best at taking the edge off in a subtle yet impactful way.
A glimpse into Armani’s historic UWS apartment.
One of my favorite perfumes, especially as the weather warms up. It’s crisp and fresh, yet simultaneously a bit woody.
This one-pot recipe for ragu sounds divine.
Brooklinen is having an up-to 35% off sale, and I took advantage by getting another Luxe Sateen Hardcore Sheet Bundle.
Twelve great shops in NYC , whether you’re looking for a gift or a souvenir.
What an adorable terry cloth set from Ralph Lauren.
I’ve been saving my April Fashion Favorites here.
Last week, I stopped by the Toteme store and tried on these chocolate brown shoes and sweet baby Jesus. They were even better in person. They didn’t have my size, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them. I had to include them in my Weekly Top below.
This article inspired me to visit our local Asian grocery store regularly.
You can also find The Weekly Top in this format which might be easier to navigate.
A few things to mention:
I may have gotten two new Mansur bags, both of which are shown below. I’ve been eyeing the lighter color since last year, and I already know I will always reach for it, especially this time of year. The black top handle is the perfect size. Small and compact enough for going out (however, not for a cocktail event), but also fits all of the daytime essentials.
A great oversized button-down that can double as a beach coverup.
I became a big fan of Josh Young when I started following him on instagram a few years back. I ordered his book, and it’s such a nice source of interior inspiration.
Three recent outfits and where I wore them:
I wore this Thursday for a casual day with the kids. We had a doctor's appointment for Sasha and then went for Chinese food. When I shared these Vince jelly slides on Instagram, I got asked whether they were comfortable. My initial answer is yes, but this is without doing much walking. It feels too soon to give a proper answer. I bought them for an upcoming vacation but immediately wanted to wear them. Also, the Amazon version.
I wore this to get facials and sushi with my girlfriend. We went to Rescue Spa, where I saw Jolanta. I’ve visited many facialists in the city, but I always return to her. She’s the best.
Last weekend, Keith and I had a sitter come at 4 PM, and we escaped to a 5:30 dinner (my ideal time) at Sevilla followed by some live jazz at Smalls Jazz Club. We’ve been going to Sevilla for over 20 years, and it still as good as ever. If you ever visit, make sure you get the chicken in almond sauce, the shrimp in green sauce, and the sangria.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend! The kids are back in school tomorrow, and while this past week has been really special, I’m ready to go back to the routine.
