I feel like the timing of this week was off. My office closed down early on Monday and didn’t re-open until Wednesday because of Winter Storm Juno. The blizzard turned out to be a bust, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying a snow day. As for this weekend, I plan on sleeping in, catching with a few friends and trying out a new surfboard-based fitness class (should be interesting). So without further ado, here’s what’s on my radar this weekend:
Do trends still exist? I thought this was a pretty interesting read on how social media has affected the longevity of trends.
The prettiest little bow blouse I ever did see.
So sad to see another brand bite the dust later this year, especially with pieces like this dress or this bag that are so on point.
Helpful tips on how to grow your blog following.
And because we all have to start from somewhere, here is a look into the first posts of some of my favorite bloggers. And my very first nearly four years ago.
Next on the must have list: destroyed denim.
Gap’s sale is on sale so you can go ahead take an extra 50% off this puffer coat and this floral bomber.
My girl Naty gave her blog a makeover and it’s perfection!
You can never go wrong with florals and stripes.
Black and white perfection.
And in case you missed it, this week I talked about winter florals, spring colors and why I’m sick of wearing puffer coats already.
Take an extra 50% off of sale items at Ann Taylor. Because you know you need this fringe skirt.

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!
