Join us this Christmas season in London! See the link below for details…
Hello once again! I’ve been incredibly busy these last few weeks (between clients doing last minute travel, prepping for my next group trip, and finishing up a huge project for a certification I’ve been working on). I feel like I’ve been hanging on by a thread these days! One of my best friends comes into town this week and I’m so excited to have my first visitor in London since moving here (and to take a break from so much hard work!)
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 32.
TRAVEL NEWS, UPDATES + INSPIRATION
Last week I advertised the next Atlas Adventures trip (exclusively to subscribers). We had 2 spots become available yesterday. If you want to snag one of them, details are HERE.
Confused about all these travel guidelines? Here’s the difference between CDC and State Department travel warnings.
AROUND THE GLOBE
My friend Dani is battling leukemia for the third time. She is hoping to find her match that can save her life, and it’s SO easy to find out if you’re eligible to have that honor. If you are in the US, please register here for Be The Match, and if you’re in the UK there is a similar organization here. It takes no time and you could save a life!
Girls are now excluded as Afghan secondary schools reopen. Join me in donating to the Malala fund to address a nation-wide shortage of female teachers through recruitment and improve education quality and learning outcomes by investing more in teacher training development. While present circumstances have impacted these programs, they are committed to the safety and security of their grantees and advancing girls’ education in the region.

WEEKLY FAVORITES
I really went to town on my most recent Sézane order… here are a few favorite pieces I just received in the mail:
This skirt and this skirt are both so gorgeous and great for transitioning! Can be worn with sweaters, tanks, boots or sandals… I absolutely love them both!
This sweater I pair with the blue skirt above (or with white jeans) and I love both looks!
This sweater I pair with either skirt above, or any pair of jeans (it’s a great layering piece too).
This sweater is reversible, either v-neck in the front or the v can go in the back!
This sweater I ordered in sage green. It’s great with either skirt above, or with any jeans. I love the button down detail - very flattering!
I know Ted Lasso is far from a well-kept secret, but a recent episode from the last few weeks featured London at Christmas time, and it made me so excited for the season ahead! If you haven’t already fallen in love with this feel-good show, do yourself a favor and binge it now!
