Link Love, Vol. 61

Happy Friday! This week’s link round-up is a good one — lots to discuss, shop and celebrate.

Let’s get to it:

Peaks & Pits| 8.21.15

Peak: Again, I have to say SoulCycle classes. Last week I led a nearly sold-out Madonna theme ride, and tomorrow morning we’re kicking off the day celebrating my friend Kate’s wedding day!

Pit: With so much love for this offline life, I’ve got boxes piling up in my apartment — again. I need to buckle down and build some furniture this weekend!

How ’bout you?

One thing I want to highlight before we get into our links is the podcast I recorded with ChiCityFashion‘s lovely Jena Gambacini — as a part of her weekly “Fashion Friends” column. We dished on everything from celeb style to blogging in Chicago versus New York, so pop on your headphones and give it a listen!

Shopping & Such

• This shirt dress is such a cute closet staple.
• My pale pink chair from West Elm finally arrived!
• Dying for all of the lace-up flats on ASOS this season.
• I can already tell these will be my essential fall booties.
• This Rebecca Minkoff handbag looks a lot like a Balenciaga, no?
• The sports bra I wear most often in Soul classes — everyone asks me where it’s from.
• So proud of my pal Julia for her custom phone case collection with Minnie + Emma (below).
• Guys, I just got these wide-leg white jeans and I can’t wait to show you how I styled them!

Links I Loved

• Eva Chen’s career advice for working in the fashion industry.
• Beyoncé was just announced to be Vogue’s September Issue cover. Duh, right?
• An interesting article about how fashion blogging “went mainstream.”
• So, I will need literally everything from Adam Lippe’s upcoming Target collab.
• The NY Times on whether there is an effective way to getting rid of bags under your eyes.
• End of an era: DNKY PR Girl Aliza Licht is leaving the brand, but do you agree with how they wiped their social channels clean?

Trending on c+c

• Can’t stop wearing rosé-pink (er, rosy) petal pastels.
• Be a better blogger: How to make the most of events in your area.
• Last week, I tried L’Oreal’s newest at-home hair kit. I’ll share the results next week, but did you catch ’em on Snapchat?
