Last week I shared a little update on my fractured ankle, what I’ve been up to, and how I’m staying active. And wow—you all really showed up in the comments. It’s always expected when you open up online (good or bad), but the kindness I received was so appreciated. Thank you!
Being someone who shares so much on the internet can feel a little scary sometimes. You’re vulnerable every day, and anytime you open up about something new, people will talk—there will always be opinions. It’s a tricky space to navigate. I’m not going to lie, some days it can really wear you down. But it’s also the best thing in the world.
Our little corner of the internet—the core HBH community—is so supportive and sweet. I just want you to know how much I appreciate every single kind and encouraging message. They mean so much, and I never take them for granted.
Quick update too—I’m doing well! The pain is finally gone, and I’m starting to feel like myself again. Hobbling around has gotten easier, and I know I’m on the mend. I’ll be back to full speed soon…and already planning for it, of course.
In the meantime, this pause at home has been surprisingly nice. Cooking has been tricky (crutches in the kitchen are not ideal), but I’ve had time to focus on other projects that usually get pushed to the side. So that’s been refreshing!
One thing that’s really been bringing me joy is resistance training—something I mentioned last week. It’s kind of wild how quickly you can feel yourself getting stronger. I’ve loved the routine, and it’s helped so much with my mindset too.
We’ve got a few fun things on the calendar as summer winds down. I’m excited for some upcoming travel, and I can’t wait for September! Apple picking, cozy Sunday chili, lighting those pumpkin candles—who’s ready for fall?! Or are you still fully in summer mode?
Our only big event this month is a photoshoot mid-August. And of course, my sister Asher’s birthday at the end of the month—I cannot believe she’ll be 17! Such a big birthday!
So many good things ahead. Now, let’s get into this week’s favorites!
1. Things i’m Loving.
cooking new recipes, while also planning for fall. But I’m still living in summer and making these Blender Zucchini Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins on repeat. Also, The 50 Most Popular Summer Recipes is great for ideas! Plus my favorite Summer Salads. Oh, and I’m so happy to see everyone baking the Peach Muffin Bread and Blueberry Cookie Cobbler.
everything in my cart (low)…all things Zara! They have so many incredible pieces right now. Loving this Pieced Triangle Bikini Top and matching Bikini Bottom. The bead details are pretty! This Poplin Midi Dress is the PERFECT easy dress for August, styled with the cutest Cherry Hair Clip. Take your White Poplin Dress into fall with cute Boots (Nordstrom sale find) and style with a stack of Rigid Bracelets and this Beaded Strap Handbag. Pair this Lace Bodysuit with this Soft Zippered Jacket.
And lastly, I think these Textured Medium Hoop Earrings are a great purchase for fall!

something fun to listen to to…You Asked, Gwyneth Answered.
travel…Regenerative Farming Is the Latest Wellness Travel Trend. I love this! Blackberry Farm in Tennessee has always been on my list of places to visit. And how pretty does Le Doyenné in Saint-Vrain, France, look? Closer to home, the Pendry Natirar in Somerset County, New Jersey! All are so pretty, and I love the standards they hold themselves to.
loving…the Emmanuella Coverlet in Plum from Morrow Soft Goods. It is 100% Cotton, Oeko-Tex Certified, and made in Portugal. I want to recreate this bed they styled for fall. It’s cozy looking, and I need something simple, clean, and fresh!
shopping…the last of the Nordstrom sale. What have you guys gotten? I got three new pairs of sneakers to try. The 530 sneakers from New Balance, and then I’m trying two from Nike. The training shoe and the V2K Sneaker. More end-of-sale finds below!
getting excited for…Starbucks Fall Drinks Are Coming Soon: Here’s What’s on the Menu This Year.
everything in my cart (beauty)…I’ve used this Saie Sunvisor for the last couple years. I love it because it combines your sunscreen, skincare, and makeup into one convenient package. It’s the only “makeup” I apply aside from The Skinny Confidential Brow Peptide. I’ve also heard really great things about the BeautyScreen Peptide Foundation Tint from Naked Sundays. I’m excited to try it!
ordered…too many Loewe candles.
wanting…to fill this Basket Bag with bundles of fresh late-summer dahlias.
everything in my cart (high)…currently loving this Miu Miu Denim pencil skirt. It’s simple, but I still kind of love it. Also, this Denim and Leather Blouson Jacket.
wearing…this scrunchie every day because my hair is always up in a top knot while I cook. And this Eyelet Scrunchie is cute too if you love a dainty summer look.
Something fun…90s Summer Activities.
