Link Love, Vol. 99

Man oh man, guys. Long (or regular, I suppose) weeks seem so much longer after shorter weeks, don’t they?

Peaks & Pits

Peak: My peak, of course, would have to be the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. So much fun spending the day with my gals! Doesn’t everyone’s outfits look adorable?

Pit: … Aaand the pit would be the hour of sleep that I got last Saturday (since our flight home from NYC was at 6 a.m.). Whoops!

Here are this week’s links:

• Yes! This is one my favorite-ever blouses, and it now comes in black. Very worth the splurge, in my opinion.

• Cool read, right here: How a former nine-to-five’r leveraged Instagram to build her six-figure business.

• Major wanderlust happening: My friend Meghan took seriously the most gorgeous photos in Paris. I miss the City of Light!

• Stock up on this striped dress from Old Navy — I wear it all the time, and it comes in lots of colors and patterns. (It’s on sale, too, natch. Gotta love ON!)

• Block heels are an essential summer sandal — especially with how walkable they are. Sole Society has a lot of options available this season (and yes, they are actually quite comfortable)!

• Such an awesome, honest read from Garance Dore about her tendency to worry — and how she combats it.

• bareMinerals’ Complexion Rescue gel hydrating cream is my favorite warm-weather foundation. It’s water-soluable, and for me, that means it won’t seep into my pores when I sweat. There’s a new shade — ‘Desert‘ — that’s perfect for that in-between winter and summer skin tone. (I used to blend ‘Natural’ and ‘Tan’ together to get the results I wanted, now I just use this.)

• My go-to mask of the moment is Fresh’s Umbrian Clay purifying mask, which has a high mineral content that helps purify and clarify your complexion. I also use the Umbrian Clay purifying toner, which acts as a great base before you layer on a moisturizing SPF and makeup. It’s clay-colored coming out of the bottle but it goes on clear (shake well before using it).

• This article about “how to tell your friends their Instagram is a mess” is hilarious. Thanks, Mic.com for including my point-of-view!

• I’ve been getting lots of questions about my favorite summer nail colors — at the top of the list is Essie’s Mod About You. There’s a gel version available in salons, too.
