Nine Favorite Things – Book Tour Edition! I am so excited to finally share the Quick & Cozy BOOK TOUR with you all! This tour has been a massive undertaking, and I want to take a second to give my mom the credit that she deserves here. She’s been working with our teams to pull together this tour day in and day out for the last two months. She’s really taken the time to make sure each city has been planned for success. And now we cannot wait to share the tour dates! All the details are below. Check them out and get your tickets now!

The book has become such a huge focus, especially as we inch closer to the launch – it’s a month away! My feelings are pretty up and down and all over the place. I’m, of course, so excited and can’t wait to share these new recipes with you all. But it’s scary, and honestly, I have a lot of anxious nerves surrounding the launch. I think that’s why I’ve been dragging my feet toward sharing the book tour details; it’s all a little scary and nerve-racking! I know it seems silly, but I want to provide you all with a book that you love, and events you’ll have a wonderful time attending!

Ultimately, I know it’s going to be amazing! The holidays are already such an exciting, busy time, so coupling them with the book tour is so fun! I love all the excitement and the hustle! I definitely thrive most when things are busier. Just like my younger brother, Red, I have too much energy!

OK, so that’s all the book stuff. Let’s back up quickly to this past week because, wow, it’s been exciting! I was honored to attend the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show with Amazon Luxury. It was such a dream. I grew up watching that show, so having the opportunity to watch Gigi, Bella, Kate Moss, Tyra, and so many more amazing women walk was a pinch-me moment. I never take these opportunities for granted; they are so special!

I’m flying home today from Palm Springs, where I spoke at the INC 5000 conference! It’s been a long week of travel, and I’m looking forward to a week at home before heading off again!

Enjoy this week’s favorites – we’ve got some fun links and photos to share!

1. Things i’m Loving, wanting, and Excited to Try.

Halloween fun…giant-sized skelly. I saw these in everyone’s yards in Utah while visiting Shae McGee. They are massive and so cool!

everything in my cart (low)…so I’m loving J.Crew for cozy pieces right now. They really have some of the cutest pieces! Loving their quilted rugged canvas jacket. Also, they’re currently having a big sale if you want to check that out!

And here’s everything I’m loving from Zara this week. This is such a cute knit cape cardigan. It would be cute styled with dark washed jeans, these knee-high boots, and this croc box bag.

listening to…Sami Spalter: “How I Lost 80 Pounds” + Her Journey of Strength, Resilience, and Redefining Success.

dreaming of going to…the Hôtel Royal – Evian Resort in France. I bet this is so pretty around Christmas time!

reading…How to Build a Fashion Icon: Notes on Confidence from the World’s Only Image Architect by Law Roach. I’ve always loved the way Law styles and can’t wait to learn more about his process through this book. I’ve heard it is really great!

shopping…the Reformation Cashmere Boyfriend Sweater. I could get this in every color, and some of the striped styles are cute too!

And from Guest in Residence…I love their chai color. My mom has this cashmere Oversized Crew and Tailored Trouser in her cart in chai. I got her the black and gray Oversized Crew before they went to Europe. She said she lived in these two sweaters and lounged in these joggers. They’re a really nice quality cashmere.

also for mom…these new Sorel Tivoli V Tall Boot I know she would live in these this winter. And then have to get her the new cozy UGG Tasman Alpine embroidered shearling slippers. And then I found this Cleveland Browns LuxeLoft V-Neck Sweater. She is going to love it.

everything in my cart (beauty)…everyone is talking about Jan Marini right now and I really want to try their transformation face cream. Has anyone ordered any products?

Speaking of moisturizer, the RéVive Anti Aging Hand Cream is great for the winter, especially while traveling.

And something kind of fun: I sat next to Patrick Ta at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show and asked what product to order first. He said his Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo because it is like two products in one.

fall travel fun…The Road Tripper’s Guide to Coastal Maine.

everything in my cart (high)…Love this half suede coat, espesso from Source Unknown. Also, cute the Nili Lotan Kedem Suede Contrast-Collar Parka. Well, wait, there’s this Harrison Corduroy Collar Denim Jacket from Reformation too.

I am still so obsessed with the Bottega Veneta andiamo medium intrecciato suede tote.

And Coach! There are so many great Coach pieces this season. I love these Rowyn slingback pumps.

shopping…Organic Comforters. Time to get cozy for fall and winter.
