Breakfast in Bed

Tank Top / Glasses / Magazine / Candle / Shorts (similar here) / French Press / Blanket / Slippers

My typical Sunday morning is spent sleeping in, then enjoying a coffee in bed. It’s my favorite way to start the day. Sometimes I enjoy a cup from my De'Longhi, but other times I prefer to prepare a coffee with my French press. I’ve started adding cinnamon to my coffee while it steeps in the press, and it’s absolutely delicious. I usually listen to an audiobook or flip through a book or magazine while I sip on my coffee. Lately I’ve been reading some various publications from Stack Magazines. They have a well-curated collection of independent magazines that I indulge in buying from time to time. Candles are the perfect way to set the Sunday mood. I’ve been obsessed with this one from Byredo lately. It’s such a lovely scent (that’s the extent of my ability to describe scents), and of course, the minimal packaging entices me to keep repurchasing it.

Stroll through the City

Cardigan / Sunglasses / Tank Top / Pants / Bag (similar here) / Sandals

Although most stores and attractions are closed on Sundays, I enjoy getting out of my apartment and strolling through the city. When I lived in France for the first time, I used to hate how dead the city felt. Now I really appreciate the empty streets and how peaceful it feels to take a walk outdoors. My boyfriend usually accompanies me, and we’ll often grab an iced coffee before finding a new area to explore. Other times we’ll prepare a picnic and spend the afternoon at a park. I’m usually wearing something comfortable like a flowy pair of pants, a basic tank top and a cushioned pair of sandals. This ensemble is not just for Sundays; it has slowly become my go-to look for running errands and working from home. I’ll usually wear this outfit with a small tote bag. I recently found this one from Arket that I’m obsessed with. It’s the perfect size to carry the essentials (phone, keys, wallet), and you can wear it as a crossbody too.

Pampering Routine

Robe / Hair Treatment / Bar Soap / Body Wash #1 / Body Wash #2 / Candle / Cuticle Treatment / Towels / Flowers

At the end of my Sunday, I spend an hour or two to take care of myself. I’ll usually begin my pampering routine with a long shower or bath. I reserve my more expensive shower products like this body wash from Nécessarie for this occasion since it makes this self-care time feel more luxurious. I’ll also tend to my hair with a treatment like the cult-favorite Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector or just a simple coconut oil hair mask. Once I’ve finished showering, I apply my body lotion, do my skincare, then I groom my nails. Lately I've been doing a manicure with just a classic nail polish and clear top coat. It’s simple, and it doesn’t damage my nails. While I’m pampering myself, I enjoy listening to an audiobook or relaxing music. Lately I’ve reignited my love for jazz, so you’ll find this playlist on repeat at my apartment.
