Link Love, Vol. 45

Hello, hello from 34-degree New York City…

Seriously, though. Is it January?

At least it’s Friday. Here’s this week’s round of workday procrastination:

Peaks & Pits, April 24

Peak: Hilton Head! The girls and I had an awesome trip down South over the weekend. Jess shared a great recap on her blog (as did Grace) — and we’re already plotting our return.

Pit: I had to sit out this year’s rewardStyle conference in Dallas on the account of my schedule. (And, you know, paying rent and shit.) I love weekends in New York, but I do wish I was soaking up the desert sun with my girlfriends! Ah, well — next year.

Sales & Such

• All sale items are an extra 40% off at Ann Taylor.
• And everything at J.Crew is 30% off (online and in stores).
• Shopbop has all of the nude shoes one could want for spring.
• Yes. This Madewell dress is what warm-weather dreams are made of.
• This is by far the cutest beach (or farmer’s market) tote. And it’s eco-friendly!
• Just got these cute flats for summer. With that price tag, I may snag another color.
• Every item in Free People’s new lingerie line is under $100. This pretty piece is my favorite.
• You’ve seen Milly’s collection for Kohl’s, right? Everything is under $100! Here are my favorites.
• ASOS has so many cute rain coats (April showers…). This one is my favorite that color!
• A near-identical version of my favorite zipper-back pencil skirt is on sale at Macy’s.
• Have you seen supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio’s collection for BaubleBar? This adorable bracelet set sold out immediately, but is finally back in stock.

Links I loved

• Who wants to do this 30 day plank challenge with me?
• ICYMI: Kind Bars aren’t as healthy as you think they are.
• I’m so inspired by this Boston Marathon finisher. Pass the tissues!
• I love Daily Burn’s interview with Misty Copeland. Major girl crush.
• Linked up with some awesome bloggers on ways to achieve balance in blogging this week.
• A hilarious, helpful guide on getting your body ready for kaftan season.
• But seriously: Come take a SoulCycle class with me this weekend! All levels welcome.
• How Target’s Lilly Pulitzer collaboration was so good for the brand. (And conversely, why it wasn’t.)
• If this company has its way, the airplane middle seat may not be so bad anymore.

Lastly, I’m speaking at a lifestyle workshop next Saturday, May 2 in NYC. It’s an event that combines everything from fashion to food, baking, crafting, beauty, and more. There will be speakers (moi!), refreshments, cocktails, a photobooth, demos, giveaways and a gift bag to take home.
