Link Love, Vol. 95

Friday, guys. We made it!

Remember how I told you my BFF got engaged last weekend? The pictures are in!

Here are the photos from the engagement — and the story behind how Melissa (the photographer I use to shoot my images) was able to get ’em. The pictures are incredible!

Peaks & Pits

Peak: It’s just been a good week, you know? Sometimes you’ve just gotta decide it’s going to be that way.

Pit: The fact that I have to look at my calendar to remember what my “peaks and pits” were this past week. I’ve been really trying to slow down, savor and not multitask lately.

Sales & Such

• I love the architectural appeal of this gold cuff.
• Why wouldn’t one need a pineapple fanny pack?
• Can’t believe these lace-up gladiator flats are Old Navy.
• Mar y Sol bags are the best beach totes. I can’t wait for summer!
• Next time you hit the nail salon, go for OPI’s “Stop It I’m Blushing.” Trust.
• Everyone has been asking me where I bought this feline card case (pictured above).
• Cute, kitschy t-shirt line alert! I think the ‘Slow Jams’ tee is my favorite.
• Bought these wheat-colored espadrilles last month… They’re so comfy!
• The flared sleeves on this 0ff-the-shoulder top are so cute. I’d wear it tucked into white jeans.
• I’ve been test-driving Nike’s ‘Free’ Flyknit sneakers this week — they fit like an actual glove. Obsessed! (I have the violet/black pair.)

Ask me anything

“Do you know when you’ll be reviewing resumes/selecting an intern?” - thelccblog via Snapchat

Yes, I’m hiring an intern/assistant this summer (part-time and must be local to Chicago). Feel free to submit a resume here — but I won’t be reviewing them for another few weeks. Thanks for asking!

“What app do you use most on your phone?” - via Snapchat

Beyond Instagram, I’d say Shazaam — for finding new music!
