Week in Review #34: Re-Entry After Paris & the 20th Anniversary Garden State Concert
Plus a visit to our San Diego factory to check in on our Sera Crescent bags (and kick start a couple other leather projects!)
After a dreamy week in Paris, I’ve been easing back into life at home — and thankfully, home with my family is my favorite place to be. That said, there’s something magical about spending a week in a beautiful city with no responsibilities. I already miss walking everywhere, lingering over coffee at charming cafés, and waking up each morning with friends.
No time for jet lag though — I landed back in California and headed to LA for the Garden State 20th Anniversary concert. That soundtrack has been the background music of my adulthood, and hearing the artists perform it live (for one night only!) was such a powerful, nostalgic experience. I’ll be reliving it for weeks to come.
Back at the office, we’re deep in prep mode — working on our next product drop (more on that below), designing new products, finalizing summer and fall launches, and gearing up for upcoming events. One highlight this week was a visit to our San Diego factory to check in on your Sera Crescent Bag pre-orders. They’re coming along beautifully. Miguel and his team are handcrafting every detail with care, and we’re counting down the days until they’re in your hands.
All in all, it was a big week and a great week and I also am very much looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.
xx,
Natalie
Thought of the Week
What I Wore in Paris
You can see the full post here, but these are my 3 favorites from the trip. Also, my post on everything we did while we were there is going live on Sunday, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Outfit links are on ShopMy for you, too ;)
April Moodboard — plus what’s in stock and whats coming up in our drop next week!
April feels like the turning point of the year — the month where time starts to move faster, travel plans begin to take shape, and summer feels close enough to touch, even as the air still carries a chill and a jacket is absolutely necessary. This moodboard captures the energy of in-between moments: layered textures, effortless hair, strong coffee, and that coastal light that keeps me inspired every day. It's about everyday elegance grounded in simplicity, with pieces that move with you — whether you're chasing sunlight, planning your next getaway, or just savoring a quiet moment before the rush.
