The Saturday Group Text, #89
Free (yes really!) THC gummies, a truly excellent swimwear collab, the best pull-on shorts, codes galore (La Vie!!), and more.
Hi :) Weekend Reading is up on the blog. It’s a fun list. The NY Times’ list of the best 100 movies (I can’t say I agree, but I’ve read 45/100). Are you burnt out or just tired? A gorgeous Laurel Canyon home (that shade of green they used is incredible). How to make a long flight more comfortable, how to make espresso martini pops, and how to make a delicious summer dinner without turning on the stove. Renovations galore. Profiles on Christine Baranski, Pedro Pascal, and Bethenny Frankel. All about that fish jewelry trend. Plus, the usual shopping links and even more. Enjoy the list! Xo
PS - this one gets a little long! Click through to Substack to read the whole thing. And if you are feeling nice, give it a heart. <3
Loeffler Randall x Left on Friday
I have been so super excited about this collaboration. I mean, first of all, they made a jelly sandal version of one of my all-time favorite sandals, but also: if you are a fashion brand looking to launch swim, who better to work with than Left on Friday!? Buttery soft fabrics, flattering cuts — they make some of the best swimsuits out there. I love this slightly faded leopard one-piece, but this red suit is serving up major Baywatch vibes in the best possible way. You really cannot go wrong; this was executed flawlessly in my book. I can’t wait for my order to arrive when I’m back from my trip.
FREE gummies from Earlybird!
If you’ve been here a minute, you know that Earlybird makes my favorite “fun” CBD/THC gummies. One gummy is like having two glasses of wine. You’re happy and tipsy, then sleep like a baby — no hangover. The gummies contain 2.5mg THC per gummy, but it’s derived from hemp, making them legal to ship to all 50 states. If you’re new to THC, 2.5mg is a great starting dose—mild but noticeable. You can always start with half a gummy if you prefer.
I’m so excited because they’re offering you a FREE sample pack, no strings attached. This is a great way to try Earlybird, but if you're an existing customer you can also use this code for a free 4-pack at checkout while you're stocking up! To grab your free sample, just select a single strawberry, watermelon, or lemon 4-pack, add to cart, and check out with code GRACE. Free shipping is included! This code is only active through Monday, so hurry up!
And if you have any questions, Earlybird’s team is super responsive! You can reach them at support@earlybirdcbd.com.

The most versatile pull-on shorts
I loooove a pull-on short for summer and these (Anthropologie’s Somerset short, remember the dress?!) are perfect. They’re just the right length, they have pockets, flare out a little bit so they could maybe pass for a mini skirt. I’ve worn mine with espadrilles and a pretty top, but also sneakers and a tee to go walking. I love them so much and you can use my Anthro code (ends Monday) to take 20% off. GRACE20
Clear Protein
I bought this clear protein to take with me to France and honestly, I am surprised by how much I like it. I mix a packet of it into my big water bottle (you do not need to froth it or anything like that — shaking is enough!) and it just tastes like an electrolyte drink. I really like this and ordered a few more boxes for when I get home. It is the perfect, easy, on-the-go way to get in fast protein. GRACE15 should work for 15% off if you are new!
I gobbled up the Karen Read documentary A Body in the Snow on Max. I hadn’t been particularly invested in the news story, but so many friends were invested in it, and everyone kept asking me what I thought since I went to Bentley (she was a professor there). I am not a big true crime person, but I liked it. I am still not sure if she’s guilty. (If you’ve been following, tell me what you think in the comments!)
The Gilded Age is back on HBO! I need to watch it… hopefully tonight!
Anthropologie brought back my code. Use GRACE20 for 20% off $100+ regular price apparel, accessories, shoes, beauty & home through Monday. I put together my top ten picks right this way.
The Great’s pre-fall collection is, well, great! This set (top + skirt) felt like a must.
Kule is having a pretty great mid-summer sale through 7/6, with 30-40% off select items. Personally I love this jacket, this tipped cardigan, and this “bubble” sweater.
Yayyyyyy! La Vie Stylehouse brought back my code. GRACE20 will get you 20% off their Summer 1 and Sumer 2 collections (ends 7/31). You know they are my fave.
Shopbop Hearts are up to date. Loads of happy summer finds.
Veronica Beard launched its 4th of July Sale early. From 6/25 to 7/7, take an extra 20% off sale styles with code FIREWORKS2025. I’ve been eyeing this embellished jacket for a while. Other things I love: this little green box bag, this white eyelet dress, this bamboo-handled bag, and this linen vest!
