#babyshowerthings. How cute is that turtle fruit bowl, right?
- Fran's guide to growing your blog is crazy detailed and full of all sorts of tips she's learned over the years. Great read for those of you who like endlessly reading about things like blogging [guilty as charged].
- I hate that seemingly everyone is taking trips to Paris lately [#bitterandjealous] but I do love that it prompted Anne to share a list of Paris-themed books she's been reading. As much as it tends to make me hurt, I love reading books about and/or set in France.
- Priya's beautifully colorful outfit is basically everything I want my life to look like. That skirt is AMAZING.
- In praise of Charlotte York - YES. A million times yes. I have a lot of unnecessary opinions about the ladies of Sex and the City [the gist of which is THEY ALL SUCK], but I do agree that Charlotte has been under-appreciated in the face of Carrie's wardrobe and Samantha's ridiculous sense of humor.
- Pro tips for financial planning, broken down by decade of your life - there's nothing quite like money to really leave me feeling stressed out. Side effect of having no income, I guess?
- Also, bring on all the introspection about age while we're at it - "The most important thing I learned about my 20s".
- How to do a long-lasting home manicure - Because even though fingernail polish is against the dress code, a girl can still dream of pretty nails.
- A little wishlist: these pretty cutout leggings | this classy lace dress | this francophile-friendly necklace | these beautiful and completely impractical pumps | these colorful striped shorts [currently on sale!]
- And a song for the weekend.
