Weekend Notes from a Francophile #12
Greece, the best meal we had all week, and more from the road.
Weekend Reading is up on the blog. I have been slowly collecting articles between our time in Crete and now, in Greece. Grab your coffee and croissant, or freddo cappuccino, and join me on the blog.
What I Have Been Up To This Week
My family and I are in Greece this week. We had a tour of the Acropolis, and afterward, the most amazing and simple meal at a Taverna, and my hunch is it may be one of the best meals of the trip. I promise to share all the details once I am home.
Did you know the blog turned 10 this week? I wrote down some thoughts on 10 years of blogging, what I learned, and what I would do differently.
I tried to pack light for the trip to Greece. Three pairs of sandals, one for the beach, one black, and one brown. If I really wanted to narrow things down, I could have packed just one pair of leather sandals. I wish I had packed a tank or two and one more t-shirt.
This sun hat from Varley is super cute and well-priced. Plus, I love the color options.
My track record for stains hasn’t been great this trip. I packed these white shorts, and I am holding off on pulling them out. Fingers crossed they make it home stain-free. I will be using my Laundress stain solution (swear by it), and my sister brought me Tide sticks.
This is the bag I have been using all week. A popular question on Instagram. Sadly, it is sold out.
I am already dreaming of being in my own kitchen again. While summer isn’t my favorite season, I love the fresh fruits and vegetables and find their flavors incredible. A simple addition of mint, basil, or cilantro can elevate a dish. I want to add this trivet for our Staub. We use this Dutch oven in our kitchen often.
My favorite travel brush I bring with me on the road. I swear it makes a difference.
Best Sellers this Week
My gingham dress. I have worn this on repeat all week, and it is so comfortable and cute.

Margaux brown sandals. Size up .5 size.
The cushion foundation, my friends kept raving about a few weeks ago.

I was in Paris in April and it was hot! I packed for a rainy April but was pleasantly surprised by early summer temps. So, I went to the Monoprix and picked up a linen shirt dress that is an absolute dupe for the MeandEm one you feature. It saved me on those warmer days!
