FRIDAY READS

Welp, all my friends left me and are partying it up in Charleston this weekend for The Blog Societies Annual Conference..have fun, y'all!  I wish I could have gone, but it wasn't feasible with my upcoming trip to San Francisco.  Luckily, I have my parents coming into town for a few days to help keep my mind off of missing the conference.  Gotta love a good parents' weekend.  Anywho, I put together a few of my favorite reads/finds from the week.  Hope y'all enjoy!


The Nordstrom Sale is still going strong, people..but you only have a couple days left because it ends on the 8th!  Shop the #NSale here.

If I was going to the conference, I would have packed this, this, these, and this..and maybe these, too.  My bank account is happy, however, I'm still sad that I'm missing out on all the fun..and can you tell I'm loving the Sincerely Jules collection at Nordstrom?

Julia's post on Finding Self Love was really good.  Like really.  While her style isn't my fave, I'm loving this post.  Oh and this one on the best coffee shops in San Fran.  I will definitely be hitting up Cafe Reveille and Wrecking Ball when I'm there.

Just bought this top from Bloomies and I'm obsessed.  I'm also obsessed with the price point.

Did y'all hear all the commotion going on about how flossing isn't really as beneficial as all the dentists have been saying?  Good for someone like me who totally lies about flossing every day.  #twiceaweeker

Super excited for my friend's feature in Hamptons Magazine.  Get it, Lauren!

Absolutely in love with these knotted sandals.  Obviously, I can't afford the Chloe ones, but these and these are an awesome substitute.

Very seriously considering starting up this 30-day challenge.

Oh..I almost forgot.  What do y'all think about the new Instagram "stories" feature?  I honestly am torn.  I feel like I'm cheating on Snapchat and they don't have all the good filters yet (looking at you, Botox and butterflies), but I do like that it's all in one app annnd it reaches so many more people.  Very interesting stuff and here is a tutorial on how to use it.

Hope everyone has a fun weekend!
