Week in Review #40: In My Routine Lately
High-quality, low-maintenance staples (including a new SPF to try)
This newsletter is brought to you in partnership with MERIT, a beauty brand I’ve been using for years.
Simple, high-quality things that do their job well and support how I want to live — that’s what I’m always trying to build my routines around. MERIT launched their newest product, The Uniform™, last week and it's definitely worth trying. It offers broad spectrum protection with 100% mineral zinc oxide, provides non-greasy coverage with a subtle tint, and includes fine natural powders to help smooth and blur the look of skin. They’ve bundled it into a few exclusive sets you can shop using my link here. (In the photo above, I'm wearing a full face of MERIT! The Uniform™ in 20, Day Glow in Solstice, Flush Balm in Beverly Hills and Brow 1980 in Dark Brown.)
In that same vein of simplicity and quality, I’m gearing up for a very big summer trip and, as always, committed to my carry-on. It’s times like these when I’m feeling thankful for the pieces I’ve curated over the years that are reliable and versatile. I can’t wait to share what I bring with me…check back here on Tuesday for that ;)

New Blazers!
We just got a new shipment of my favorite, one-of-a-kind Havre Studio blazers and added them to the website yesterday. I had so much fun trying them all on for the product pages! You can shop them all here.
