Hello from Paris!
We’ve only been in France for less than 24 hours and are already LOVING every minute. And yes, I’ve already devoured a crepe, ate french onion soup and fully enjoyed some rosé. #yolo
If you are new here, I’m starting to do weekly recap posts throughout the month so that you can always come to the blog on Sundays or Mondays to catch up on whatever you might have missed during the week.
Let’s start with this week’s top 10 sellers!
TEN: Cozy Pom Pom Blanket
NINE: Aerie Oversized Nomad Pants (Run big – I have an XS)
EIGHT: Free People Peplum Tee (Runs big – I have an XS)
SEVEN: Amazon No Show Socks
SIX: Tula On the Spot Treatment for blemishes (code ASHDONIELLE gets you 20% off)
FIVE: Lou & Grey Hoodie Sweatshirt (Runs true to size – I have a small)
FOUR: Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Makeup Set
THREE: Loft Turtleneck Sweater (Runs true to size – I have a medium that is a great oversized fit but could have done my true size small)

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED ON THE BLOG & INSTAGRAM IN THE PAST WEEK:
- How to Style a Taupe Bootie for Fall 2 Different Ways – Every fall I grab a new taupe bootie to wear through the season because it’s such an easy color to style! Below are some other great boot options!
- Stella & Dot HOLIDAY arrivals – Yes gals, whether you are ready or not, all of the holiday stuff is starting! The S&D holiday collection blew my socks off and I’ve already worn multiple pieces on my trip so far.

- Transitional Fall Style with Nordstrom – I was excited to work with Nordstrom this past week and bring you guys a styling idea for the cutest utility dress for fall! (sizing details in post).
UPDATE ON BOOK OF THE MONTH:
I decided to do something different this month and read through the new Jillian Harris cookbook! I got a ton of great feedback from you all on it so I’m making it the October book of the month! When we get back from our trip, I’m going to be trying some recipes from it and of course I’ll bring you guys along via Instagram!
SOME NEW RECIPES WE ARE TRYING THIS WEEK:
None because we are eating all the bread & cheese in France 🙂
BUT we did get our first Butcher box before we left on our trip and were SO impressed with it! It’s basically a monthly subscription box full of grass fed, organic meats (chicken, fish, beef, etc). You get to choose what type of box you like and what type of meat cuts you want and it gets delivered to your door in a freeze ready box. They have some great promotions going on all the time but right now if you sign up HERE, they will give you 2lbs of salmon and sirloin steaks for free in your box on top of everything else you get! We are so far loving it, especially because we can keep it frozen and pull it out whenever we are ready to eat it that week. Easy meal prep!
WEEKLY JEWELRY HIGHLIGHT:
I’ve been wearing a couple of the new arrivals on repeat since I got them on Thursday and some other pieces are oldies but goodies! This heart earring set is so so fun as you can mix and match/switch out the sets to create so many different looks. I’ve also been wearing one of the Breast Cancer Awareness bracelets a ton with the pearl spike & heart lock bracelets because they go so well together!
WHAT I BOUGHT THIS WEEK:
I grabbed a couple of great things before the trip that didn’t make the cut into my luggage but I’ll link them all below in case anyone is shopping!
MOST ASKED QUESTIONS THIS WEEK:
- What is your Loopycase code? (still a top question!)
- Code ASHDONIELLE gets you 10% off your Loopycase order site wide! And if you have no idea what a Loopycase is, it’s the BEST phone case! You will never drop your phone again!
- What stroller are you traveling through Europe with?
- We are using the 3D lite stroller that we got off Amazon for under $100. Loving it so far and very happy with how sturdy it is for an umbrella stroller! I wrote a whole blog post on it HERE.
- What sunglasses have you been wearing on your Instagram stories lately?
- I’m obsessed with sunglasses so I have a ton! I’ll link them all below here:
- What’s the hype with the Golden Goose sneakers?
- To be honest, I was SO against spending so much money on a pair of skater sneakers….until I got my first pair on sale and I’ve never looked back. I can honestly say that they are so so comfortable (I’ve worn them all around Europe) and the fact that they are already “roughed up”, makes them so easy to wear anywhere. Heck, your kids can step on your feet and you won’t even care! They also just go with any wardrobe piece at the moment….skirts, jeans, jumpers, dresses, shorts…you name it, GG sneakers are the perfect pair. Linking my exact pair below and some on my wishlist!
