Cool Sh*t to Share, Vol. 6

Happy Friday, guys.

I know it’s been quiet ’round here this week, but in all honesty: I took a few personal days away from blogging because I was sorting through some personal stuff. Some days you just can’t force it, you know?

Back to regularly scheduled programming next week, though, so don’t you worry.

In the meantime…

… In lieu of harping on any pits from the week, here’s a few highlights from the past few days (peaks):

On Monday, I got to attend (co-host, I suppose) a party for the annual Singles Issue that I was in for Chicago Tribune/SPLASH magazine. It was really fun — and, I mean, who doesn’t love a reason to drink rose slushies on a Monday? Best way to ease into the week post-Lollapalooza, that’s for sure. (My other highlight — Lolla weekend is always one of my favorites of the entire summer. We had waaay too much fun, but I’m back to sweatin’ out just water… I think. )

How was your week?

Here are this week’s links:

• First-and-foremost: There’s only four days left in Nordstrom’s big Anniversary Sale! Click here to shop the women’s sale section. I’ve been hitting the “Home” sale section hard, too: Just got this pale pink agenda and this awesome marble tray.

• These look like my Celine sunglasses but for less than $15.

• So, how do we feel about Instagram becoming the new Snapchat?

• Welp, nearly an hour after staring Jess’s Amalfi Coast recap, I finished reading it. Wanderlust calling… The Snapchat/videos are particular content gold!

• I was looking at Tory Burch’s new shoe styles for fall when I came across this pair of loafers. I’m in love! (And in case they’re your jam, these logo ballet flats are almost $100 off right now.)

• Mackenzie just added a shitload of new arrivals to her cute e-boutique, Design Darling. I bought the gold pineapple tumbler for my bar area/kitchen.

• One of my favorite books just landed on the New York Time’s Bestseller list — “You Are a Badass.” Woo hoo! If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend. It’s a super easy, quick, motivating read. (Insider info: At SoulCycle, it’s actually a company requirement to read this!

• I love the series “Ladies Who Laptop” on LaurenConrad.com — this week’s feature, Julia Engel, has some great advice to share for bloggers of all sizes.

• Danielle just celebrated her six-year anniversary in Chicago, and she wrote a post about things she’s learned in moving halfway across the country. There’s some gems in here, for sure. (Happy anni!)
