I swear, every time I turn around, I’m writing another “hey, happy Friday!” Link Love post… Crazy! Can you believe tomorrow is August 1?

Summer, don’t go! (You JUST GOT HERE!)

Peaks & Pits | July 31, 2024

Peak: Yesterday, having lunch with Liz and Jess at a favorite local spot in Chicago. It’s so inspiring to put down your phone and just talk for a few hours!

Pit: I haven’t been sleeping very well lately. I imagine it’s the caffeine I drink later int he afternoon, so we’ll work on that… Any tips?

Only three days left to save big during Nordstrom’s anniversary sale, you guys. Any purchases you’re proud of thus far?

I bought my favorite BaubleBar necklace/set as a gift for a few friends, but I’m eyeing this beautiful, blush-colored Chloe bag — which is majorly marked-down. Or if Marc by Marc Jacobs is more your forte, here’s a cute option at a fraction of the cost.

I’m heading to Lollapolooza this weekend, so find me on Instagram and Snapchat (@coralsncognacs) to follow along in the fun. I am so excited! Here’s a flashback to Lolla 2012 — some things never change…

Oh, and here’s a new addition to Link Love posts I’d like to implement: Something I learned this week? Apparently, you should never put a garment on immediately after ironing it — because this can actually cause new wrinkles to form. (Instead, let it sit for five minutes to set the press.)

What about you? Have a great weekend. x

  1. For caffeine - I was reading somewhere (can’t remember where now, natch) that your body is wired to best respond to caffeine between 10-12 and 2-4, and still allow you to start shutting down for sleep at a “reasonable” hour.

    Have you seen the new Chuck II, with the Nike Lunarlon soles? I cannot wait for my new red high-tops to arrive! I broke an ankle 18 months ago, and current Chucks require tricking out with fancy insoles and cushioning, but I’m hoping the new insole will help eliminate all that!

  2. I tend to take a while to decide if I want to spend money on something… but the Nords sale was just too good to pass up! I bought some leopard flats and a matching sports bra and leggings from Adidas. And I love them both!

    Also, in relation to caffeine, I used to drink coffee all day every day until my kidneys freaked out about not getting enough water… so now I just have a cup of coffee in the morning, a La Croix over lunch (have you tried them yet? Not caffeinated, but a fun switch from plain water!) and green tea in the afternoon. The combo keeps me awake, hydrated, and most importantly is waaay healthier. I hope you find a combination that works well for you! xx

    • Yes, wear tennis shoes! Opt for function and comfort over looking super chic and cute. It’s HOT, the last thing you want to do is feel gross and sticky.

      Also, stay hydrated! Pack Vitamin C packets and mix them with your water.

      HAVE FUN! XXX

  3. I’m SO excited because I managed to snag the Kendra Scott ‘Dani’ Earrings in emerald green during the #nsale. I ordered the ‘Elle’ version last year and they sold out. I think I lucked out because the ‘Dani’ earrings are smaller and much prettier in my opinion! Still considering a couple of others items, but so far I am loving the Zella leggings I got. I didn’t go overboard so I am proud of myself. 😉 Hope you have a great weekend!

  4. Oh man that Starbucks statistic is terrifying! Yikes! Also, I take a monthly digital detox and spend one day “unplugged” it feels so refreshing after!

  5. I usually have trouble sleeping when I move. One thing that’s helped me (though it’s kind of painful sometimes) is choosing a time an hour before I want to go to sleep and turning my phone off (and not looking at my computer/ipad/etc.) Aka, no screens for the last hour before bed! (I suppose this advice goes well with your digital detox link!) Hope you’re having a good week!
