The Noteworthy Weekly Edit 7.3.26
The best of the holiday weekend sales, good book recs for summer, a guide to Taylor Swift's NYC, a lot of my closet is on sale, my newest beauty tool, s'mores bars + plenty more.
Happy Friday from a sweltering New York City. I decided to not go upstate for the holiday weekend but now have regrets and will likely spend a lot of this weekend parked in front of my AC unit. (If you have any no-oven recipes you love share them won’t you please!?)
I had such a productive week at home getting caught up on a variety of things and finally, finally getting to projects that had (long!) been on the back burner. There’s been so much going on BTS that I decided I’ll share what all has been going down for the three week stretch I’m at home in a newsletter before I head off on my next trip.
I hope you enjoy this week’s edit (it’s a robust one with lots of good sales!) + if you’re in the U.S., I wish you a safe and happy 4th of July!
Housekeeping note: This week’s edit is too long for email. Please enjoy it in the Substack app or on your desktop.

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:
With the holiday weekend here in the States we had a lot of En Route to Rêverie clients off on trips this week so there were finishing touches being put on Plans, final comms with clients and I was so happy to be doing everything with my team from my own desk! Makes everything easier.
Conducted some interviews for the role on my team! I’m excited to be bringing more help on.
READ + LOOK + LOVE:
This Substack thread has lots of good book recs if you’re in need!
S’mores Cookie Bars? Say less.
THE MOST NOTEWORTHY SALES OF THE WEEK:
I’m in the somewhat painstaking process of auditing all my ShopMy Shop categories but the good news is that I spotted a bunch of items I own now on sale like this fun dress I wore on NYE in London (size 8), this favorite tee (size XL), this cropped button down (size 10), this striped tee in the ecru/caramel color (size L), this blazer (size 6), this suede jacket that’s stunning in person (size T3), this gorgeous and classic Smythe blazer (size S) - I wore it so much during my month in London earlier this year, these Adidas sneakers, these boots that look insanely elegant and designer are now 50% off (!!!) And my forever favorite tweed jacket I own in three colors! (Size M).
Cuyana rarely every discounts their beautiful goods but they just launched their annual Archive Sale which means you can score some of their best pieces now at a discount through the weekend. Of what’s on sale I would recommend this tote, this little case for your travels, this bag or this bag, this hat, this gorgeous leather jacket and these silk wide leg pants I’ve owned for years (fit TTS - I own the M). And while you’re shopping the site- highly recommend my laptop case I absolutely love (I use the additional pockets for my Kindle and my receipts when I travel!)
Westman Atelier is doing a long weekend sale offering 20% off select favorites and up to 50% off value sets! Most notably my favvvvvv Skin Activator is included as are their Lip Suede lipsticks if you’ve been wanting to try them. I also always wear this highlighter in summer (peau de rosé is my fav shade) and I like this duo. This Petal Set would be a great intro to the brand is such a good value and lastly how chic is this little pouch!?
Sarah Flint is doing an extra 30% off select styles (!!!) including several I own like these, these and these.
A rare sale on a lot of M.M.LaFleur’s most iconic pieces including this jardigan I adore (fits TTS), this blazer (fits TTS) and this great dress I recently got (recommend sizing up if in between sizes).
LOFT is doing 50% off sitewide - wowza. This dress and this dress are cute.
And Ann Taylor is 40% off. This shell + matching skirt look very similar to a set I own from several years back, this dress is so my vibe, this dress + this dress would be great for summer office days, these look like nice linen trousers and if you like wearing blue, grab this linen mini dress!
Earlier this year I tried on the Chanel mesh flats and they were too trendy for the price point but I just saw these at a far more palatable price point and ordered the black mesh to try. Currently on sale and in loads of colors/fabrics.
This week a reader emailed me asking for my edit of WHBM saying its a brand she always relies on fitting her well - the site is all 25% off so sharing my reply more broadly here! I like this vest top + shorts combo which would be so cute with a little heel, this dress and this dress, this skirt that would be fun for Fall and then this jumpsuit which would be great for a wedding.
Bluemercury is running 25% off summer essentials like sunscreen, body lotion, self-tanner and some of my favorite little peel pads. Most noteworthy I spotted this Byredo body wash and this Victoria Beckham Beauty body shimmer included!
Five years later and I still love my Saatva Luxury Firm mattress as much as I did upon getting it and now it is on major sale. An investment purchase you won’t regret.
Lots on sale at J.Crew up to 60% off like this great barn jacket you’ll wear loads come Fall, this striped sweatshirt, these pants perfect for a pool or beach day.
SHOP AND LOOK LOVINGLY:
If you also love the look of the YSL beaded bags I’ve been seeing everywhere but not the price tag - might I recommend this far more well priced version from Madewell!? While you’re shopping there - also loving this top, this bag and this knit top.
Given I am in my pursue-hair-health-era, I decided to finally start using a hair growth helmet after seeing one too many TikToks claiming good results. So far it’s been easy to work in the 10 minutes / day - I keep it right next to my couch to remind me to do it while watching TV. Keep you guys posted!!
Away has some very good newness like this summery tote that you could use as your personal item for a trip this season, these darling compression packing cubes and a variety of great items if traveling with kids!
It may sound silly but one of the things I love about being home is the slideshow of photos of all my favorite people and places on my Aura frame. Seven months later and I still love its presence reminding me of happy memories so much.
This dress and this top + matching shorts are calling my name.
This great striped tee I own that sold out right away last year is finally back in stock! The slight crop on it is perfect for pairing with trousers and skirts. I own the size L.
This fun dress I wore in Rio is now back in stock in some sizes (I own size L).
