Did anyone else feel like this was the longest week ever? On Tuesday, I was convinced it was Thursday!!! On top of my regular work, I did some little sprucing up around my apartment. I do weekly deep cleans and daily tidying, but I had been neglecting little things. I got a few cabinets in my kitchen back under control (including the dogs’ cabinet which was a nightmare), picked out new pillows and a duvet, replaced the living room rug, and got a new vacuum. I was honestly most excited about the vacuum… I had a feeling my old one wasn’t doing a good job, and I was RIGHT. It was crazy to see what the new one picked up. (It was actually pretty repulsive when I realized the difference.)
As if my new vacuum wasn’t exciting enough (haha), I also found out I was verified on Instagram. I’ve been trying to get it for months, going down as many avenues as possible. Over the past two weeks, I decided to throw every idea I could against the wall to see what would stick and something must have, although I don’t know which did. (Pretty sure it’s either through my manager asking someone or my friend’s husband asking someone.) The funny part is that I had all but given up. On Wednesday, I messaged my manager saying I didn’t think it was going to happen, that my window of opportunity had closed. But, all hope was not lost, and it happened! Woo!
Wearing: Gingham Maxi Dress (love this one too) + Similar Necklace
Here’s what was on my radar this week:
ONE // “She’s a Blind YouTuber”
You know I love Casey Neistat! I would recommend watching all of his videos, but if you only watch one, make it this. Casey teamed up with Molly Burke, a blind YouTuber, and the result is a video that is as touching as it is interesting. I appreciated that Casey was so candid with his questions and Molly with her answers because he asked a lot of things I was wondering too… like, how does she know she’s not getting overcharged!
TWO // Positive Dating Outlook
I loved this piece from Refinery29 about having a positive outlook while dating. I think dating in this day and age has a terrible reputation and for a good reason. However, I don’t believe that it’s impossible. I touched on my own dating advice in this Youtube video and, for me, it all boils down to attitude.
THREE // Margaux’s New Slingback
After visiting the Margaux pop up shop on Nantucket two weeks ago, I added two more of their flats to my collection. They truly perfected the ballet flat. Well, now I’m lusting over this gorgeous slingback they just released.
FOUR // 7-Year-Old Interviews Katy Perry
How absolutely sweet is this interview between Katy Perry and seven-year-old Poppy. I loved the questions they asked each other. The conversation was sweet and positive and don’t you think the world needs more of that?
FIVE // KJP’s New Dress Line
OMG! KJP just launched a line of new dresses. I love love love their scallop collar shirtdresses so I know I’m just going to love the shifts. The hydrangea print is perfect.
