Five Things

August 17th, 2012

{Mid-hike blackberry picking in Mill Valley}

This week was full of little frustrations that kept piling up. None of them even merit mentioning (except that I apologize my comments haven’t been functioning properly for over a week!), but things are turning back around. For starters, it’s Friday, and this weekend is packed with fun plans – including the Los Angeles Beer Festival. Also, I just started a new book (Gone Girl) that makes me excited about climbing into bed each night. Best feeling ever. I hope you have a great weekend.

{Panda cookies + some light reading}

    So glad to hear you’re reading Gone Girl. Gillian Flynn is a terrific writer. If you like Gone Girl, you should definitely read Dark Places; it’s also an excellent one.

    Gosh, I loved the hat in the picture, looks like a very popular type of Miami hat. There is a whole store in Aventura Mall in Miami devoted to selling only that type of hat. Its surreal- hundreds of the exact same hat-color, shape, maybe the only difference is the size, but who knows!

    Looks just like a very popular Miami hat.

    I just started Gone Girl last week and I am just over 1/2 way. I love it and find myself relating to the inside jokes as my husband and I have tons ourselves. I cannot wait to hear your take once you are finished. I wrote about it on my blog just last week too!

    Emily- Where is your lace top, jacket, and bangle from? I like this outfit because its simple and easy for me to be inspired by because I can wear it everyday. It would be amazing if you shared where they were from!
    Thank you so much,
    -Amanda
