Link Love, Vol. 97

Happy holiday weekend, my friends! Who’s got big MDW plans?

Thanks very much for taking the time to provide some feedback on last week’s post/the new Link Love format. Heard you loud-and-clear with keeping Peaks & Pits, so those are back in this week’s edition.

I’m still trying to find a better, more robust way to incorporate Q&A — podcast or video series, perhaps? We’ll see…

The weekend awaits, so let’s get to it:

PEAKS & PITS | 5.27.16

Pit: I’ve been dealing with some personal stuff this week (vauge, I know — but that’s why content has been a bit on the lighter side, my apologies). On the bright side, though…

Peak: I’m typing to you as I sit on a plane to VEGAS — grapefruit shandy (and excessive amounts of trail mix) in-hand. Bring on the sun!

Here are this week’s Top Ten:

TOP TEN | 5.27.16

Nordstrom’s half-yearly sale just launched! Click over to save big (up to 40%) on women’s clothing, shoes and handbags. There’s a pretty big selection in the designer section, too.

Right now, I’m all about a good pair of canvas shoes — this pair from Soludos is so cute (comfortable, too). That flamingo print, though!

It’s rosé season, baby! Jess rounded up three great pink wines — all around the $20 price point. I co-sign to each.

I packed this wide-brim straw hat from J.Crew for my trip. It — and everything else on the site — is 30% off with the code WEEKEND (through May 31).

Emily Henderson took so much time to write this piece on how a blog post gets made. Really insightful read for anyone who’s ever wondered.

I do my best not to feel guilty about not following life’s traditional norms, so-to-speak, so I really loved this article: “Everyone’s Obsessed with ‘Adulting’ and I’m tired of pretending I give a f—.”

I’ll share a more extensive Las Vegas packing list with you next week, but if I could only pack one make-up item in my bag, it’d be Stila’s Stay All Day liquid eyeliner. It’s seriously the best. (That’s what I wear when I teach, too!)
