Hands down, Saturday is my favorite day of the week. It’s the one day of the week that I feel like the world is my oyster and the opportunities are endless. Despite the fact that it’s supposed to snow a sort of rain-slush mix today, I’m planning to get out of bed early to hit the gym and catch up on wedding planning, then grab brunch with a few favorites in the afternoon. To get your day started, I’ve rounded up a little link love this week:
Let’s start off with this essay about 15 ways to avoid blogger burnout. As someone who’s juggling a full-time job, blogging on nights and weekends and wedding planning in between, I don’t think I’ve read an article that has resonated so deeply before. Even if you don’t blog, it’s still great insight into leading a happier, more well-balanced life. Everybody wins!
A pop of red cured the winter blues earlier on the blog this week. That’s why I need this sweatshirt and this flippy skirt in my life.
First C.Wonder, now Piperlime is shutting down by the end of April. Times are rough, man.
It’s still only January, but florals are starting to bloom … in purses, pumps and pretty little skirts.
Because of this gadget, the fiancé and I have really stepped up our cooking game at home. So far, we’ve made butternut squash and creamy tomato soup, but would love to hear your favorite recipes!
I scored this maxi dress and this lace cut-out number at the Rent the Runway sample sale this weekend. If you’re in town, it’s worth the visit!
Abercrombie & Fitch was my first retail job in college, so it was interesting to read this article about the rise and fall of the brand. Remember when we all wore ripped jeans, flip flops and popped collars? No? Me neither …
Not that I need any more leopard shoes, but damn.
Dying over how adorable Courtney looks in her Paris-meets-Brooklyn look.
This trench cape will be mine.
Our travel guide books for our honeymoon just came in, so you better believe we’re majorly wanderlusting this weekend. Have you ever been to Greece or Italy? We’d love your recommendations!

It’s Friday — glorious, glorious Friday! I don’t have any big plans this weekend, but one thing that’s on the agenda is date night. James made it through two years of living in NYC, so we celebrated over his very first meal here: Thai food via Seamless (we do the same for my anniversary, except I had pizza). But as much as I dining in sweatpants, sometimes a girl just wants to don the prettiest pleated skirt and a pair of leopard pumps (just make sure you wearing something a little more substantial than a fur stole if it’s freezing out!). I’m counting down the hours until we hit the t own, but I’d love to know what your weekend plans/outfits entail. TGIF loves!

Yesterday, I styled a pair of dark washed, straight legged jeans from Lee and I have to admit, I loved branching out and trying a new cut of denim. Today, I decided to go for something that was little more up my alley: black skinny jeans. It’s a wear-with-anything kind of piece and a major staple in my closet. To up the ante, I added a striped top and a striking red coat for a look that’s effortlessly refined and totally reminiscent of my recent trip to Paris.
