This Week's Top 10: Birthday Weekend & Currently Loving

It's been a few months since my last installment of "This Week's Top 10," which is a Friday series of blog posts that I created years ago to share weekly favorites and discoveries. This week I found myself just loving and sharing so many things that I had to bring it back!

1. I think the highlight of the week is undoubtedly that I published my first vlog of 2023! I hadn't vlogged since December, and I know many of you missed the vlog content, so I did a mini "week in my life" last week. If you haven't watched it yet, you can find it here! Hope you love it!

2. In the vlog, I talked about some of my favorite skincare products, including this Vitamin C Serum, Retinol serum, and moisturizer. I did not, however, show you my new *obsession:* this Summer Fridays lip balm. Oh my gosh, it's so fabulous. The color (I have the vanilla beige) is surprisingly stunning and the product is soo juicy, shiny, and hydrating. Love it.

3. I received both the moisturizer & the lip balm in my Fab Fit Fun box, which I have a discount code for: FRANCESCA20 for 20% off! The price of the box ends up coming out around the price of one of the items in the box, making everything else an added bonus. Such a great deal and so much fun!

4. The new J. Crew September Collection dropped this week and it's incredible - I love these silver loafers, this bright, oversized cardigan, this striped cardigan, and this little fringe jacket!

5. I've been wearing this Free People Runsie/Onesie almost every day since I got it; it's so comfortable and easy to throw on!

6. I just got in this under $50 cashmere tee and love it for a work-from-home piece - it's so soft and cozy but looks nice on camera! Comes in 11 colors and I can't believe the price point.

7. Our book club book for this month, Unstable by Carrie King, was written by a friend of a friend, and my dear friend Emma designed the cover! I read the whole book in one day and absolutely loved it - it's an adorable little romance novel set in Newport, Rhode Island! I gave it 5/5 stars & would highly recommend it as a quick, cute read before summer ends!

8. I quite literally stumbled upon this tortoise shell candle last week and haven't stopped thinking about it - it's so cute for fall and smells incredible! I think I need to go back and get it.

9. My birthday is on Sunday and I shared a highly unrealistic birthday wishlist yesterday on the blog here!

10. Speaking of my birthday - thank you for following along over this past year! I am turning 25, which means I'll officially have had this blog for more of my life than I haven't (CRAZY! I was 12 when I started!) - This platform is such a huge part of who I am and I truly don't know where my life would be without it and without all of you, so thank you!
