It's been awhile since I have done a Friday link-up, so I thought I'd switch it up and try a new one. Mostly because I just discovered Lauren's blog, and I can't NOT be into a blog with the tagline: Style.Beauty.Cats. These are a few of my favorite things.
1. This place. I went to Charleston a couple of weeks ago (I swear I'm going to post about it as soon as I have more than three minutes of downtime) and I'm seriously STILL thinking about the brunch I had. I have never eaten bacon so delicious in my life. My dinning partner can validate this story. Everything was so southern and delicious. I ate eggs, which I don't even really like, covered in some kind of tomato jam with okra and it was SO. DANG. DELICIOUS.
3. This Article from Bustle.com. I always love some self-deprecating humor. Sometimes I feel like I can't roll my eyes any harder, and then I see yet another blogger's "OMG look at these macaroons on a "vintage" plate that I purchased on sale from Anthropologie with a mason jar full of #peonies in the background all strategically centered in front of a farmhouse window/iPad open to the trendiest e-book du jour" Instagram and I am proven wrong. I cracked up reading about how the author has to duck into alleys to take #WIDN pics.
3. This Madewell Sale. Yes, it's overpriced, urban J. Crew, but that doesn't mean I don't love it. And when it's 30% off, it's completely worthwhile (like you've never bought a $50 sweatshirt before? Okay. Maybe that's not normal). Either way, enter KEEPCOOL online or shop in stores. While we're talking about things I love, let's also mention how much I don't hate this current trend of type treatments en français on loungewear. Give me all of the shirts, merci.
4. This nail polish. As far as I'm concerned, Dior Vernis is not nail polish. It's magic for your fingernails. This Safari Beige color has been my go-to for the past few weeks. I'm a little OCD about chipped nail polish, and when I get anxious, I tend to chip my nail polish off- so when I'm on work overload it's unfortunate overall. Having a super light color is great because you don't even notice chips and I can wait a whole week before repainting, instead of every day as I am sometimes known to do.
5. This water bottle. I think I'm trying to make up for my lack of in-unit laundry (it was a great year when I had it, let me tell you!) by washing EVERYTHING in my dishwater. Including things clearly marked NOT DISHWASHER SAFE. I just melted one of my favorite water bottles from college, whoops. In an effort to become a grown-up in my 27th year, I bit the bullet and purchased dishwasher safe Soda Stream bottles and it was the best purchase of my month. I don't know why I didn't just accept my inability to handwash before. Now I'm eyeing this awesome glass/silicon water bottle from Lululemon for yoga. Does anyone else find it easier to force themselves to work out when they have fun new toys/outfits? Give me a new yoga tank and I'll go five mornings in a row, I swear.
Happy Friday to all! What are some of your favorite things lately?
