Weekending Vol. 13

July 17, 2015

 Print available here

This whole Summer Friday thing is amazing, and I think Americans should commit to a 4-day work week. I mean, when was the last time you were able to really get all of your errands done? Having that one extra day made a huge difference, so I’m thrilled to have two more weeks of this. (I actually felt like I got SO much done last week!) Happy weekend, all!

WHAT’S ON MY RADAR THIS WEEK

Americans will spend an estimated $60.6 billion (yes, with a b) on their pets this year

Loved this article on closet cleaning. I’d trust Stacy London to help me clean out my closet – wouldn’t you?

I recently purchased these sunglasses – and then promptly sat on them. I can’t wait to get them back!

2 lessons from 2 years of marriage that I think are applicable to just life in general

J.Crew has a new store coming (and it looks like it’s J.Crew’s response to Old Navy)

Sephora has an answer to Amazon Prime: Flash, which gives you free 2-day shipping for a $10 fee (unless you’re in their loyalty program’s top tier). I’m super excited because this means I don’t have to reach the $50 hurdle each time I place an order to get free shipping, especially when I only need one thing (like this eyeshadow palette, which is my new favorite)!

FROM AROUND HERE

I said I wanted to read 40 books this year, and according to my Goodreads profile, I’ve only read 11. Eep! Better get going.

Stripes, stripes, everywhere!

P.S. I’m kind of really into the dog rescue community, and the news of a momma dog and her 7 day-old pups in a high-kill shelter in Texas broke my heart the other day. After a couple of days of checking in to see what was going on with them and sending emails to rescues to try to help, I heard that they (along with two other Labs in the shelter) have been pulled by a Lab rescue out of Denver. That news made me so happy! So this is my little plea to you (hi, friends!) to consider adopting a dog from a shelter. We did, and it was one of the best decisions we ever made!
