Hello! I’m back from a beautiful trip to Spain (pictured above!) and very excited about this week’s issue, largely because I've had my website redesigned! I'm also in the process of having an illustrator create a logo (coming soon!) and I switched to a new email provider as well. Things aren't complete just yet (this is phase 1 of the rollout) I'm still so excited to share it with you! Hope you love it as much as I do :)
This week also kicks off another season of Atlas Adventures trips! I'm heading to Paris on Friday with some friends to celebrate my birthday before the Paris crew arrives on Sunday to kick off another trip- can't wait to share along the way!
If you’re new here, ‘This Week in the World’ is a weekly recap of content ranging from around the globe. My hope is that each week, no matter where you are in the world, you’ll be able to feel more connected to it: through news, travel, food & wine… really, anything that appeals to the culturally curious. Let’s dive into the content I sourced for week 13.
TRAVEL NEWS + UPDATES
AROUND THE WORLD
Spring time is upon us! If you’re looking for the perfect wines to drink this season, look to the Loire Valley.
The weather in London this last week has been glorious! To celebrate patio season being upon us, here are 19 of the best terraces in London.
Electric cars are becoming the way of the future. In fact, the UK government vows 10-fold increase in electric car chargers by 2030.
WEEKLY FAVORITES
I added to my art collection this week with a painting from Alan Halliday / Camburn Fine Art. Halliday is a British artist who is based in the Loire Valley whose paintings are in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum; the Theatre Museum, The Museum of London as well as Oxford University colleges and the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, USA. I love the lightness and colors of his work - they make me so happy!
I loved this list of life-changing books (I’ve read several and loved them all… adding the others to my ‘must-read’ list!)
I need to place an ABLE order stat because so many of their shoes right now are beautiful! This sage green pair with a subtle heel, this chic sneaker and this sandal (which quite literally has my name all over it) are all perfect options for spring.
I have my eye on so many of these sustainable Parisian dresses (I’m going into the shop tomorrow to see which ones are my fav!)
