Link Love, Vol. 43

Well, shit. I’ve sat down to write this week’s “Peaks & Pits,” like, three times now, but I just have too much to share — thanks to you guys. (No, really. You’ll see.)

Here’s what went down:

Do you guys remember that award I was nominated for on behalf of Better Homes & Gardens? (Best Fashion Blog of 2015) I won the Editor’s Pick! Thank you — truly — so much. Your support means everything to me!

Next on the agenda: Starstruck! I had the chance to hear Arianna Huffington speak in-person this week, which was awesome. I scored a copy of her new book, Thrive, which I’m going to read (and recap here/on Twitter, if you’d like). Here’s my favorite nugget of wisdom that she shared:

“Live your life like everything is rigged in your favor.
Even the ‘bad’ stuff.”

Yep, so true. SO true! You never know what even worse luck your bad luck is saving you from, you know?

Last but not least — and this might be my favorite highlight from the week — catching up with out-of-town bloggers is one of my favorite things. Despite a jam-packed schedule of sightseeing, Alyson from Crushing on Clothes (along with Aileen and Rose) came to one of my SoulCycle classes. (My schedule is up and updated regularly; you can see it here!) Afterwards, of course, we carbloaded. Like ya do.

Sales and such

• Wishing for: A fringe bucket bag.
• The perfect pair of platform wedges.
• The dress that continues to garner a million compliments. I can’t stop wearing it!
• If you were to find one thing in my handbag — consistently — it’d be this portable Mophie.
• Yep, still obsessing over this pleated chiffon maxi dress. Should I just buy it already?
• Just got a new pair of BF jeans — I can honestly say they’re among the most comfortable pants I own.
• My spotless white Joe’s Jeans (yes, they’re spill-proof) are back in stock! Just in time for BBQ season.
• MZ Wallace just released a limited edition Metro Tote (my fave) — and it’s for a good cause.

Links I Loved

• OMG. Apparently, Martha Stewart is a beast at roasting — people.
• Because this one’s worth repeating: 29 Things I Learned in my 20’s.
• Here’s some great advice from Andrea on finding success on Instagram.
• Music lovers: I just added some new jams to my Soundcloud profile. Enjoy!
• Congrats to my girl Kate on her engagement! This timeline is the reason I’m single. (Kidding, but no really.)
• Last night, I came across the blog Live Your Vie, a website devoted health, happiness well-being. Needless to say, an hour later I’m finally hitting “Schedule” on this post.

Trending on c c this week

• My favorite way to mix prints.
• How to wear sweatpants in public.
• The one-piece swim-suit I can’t wait to wear this summer.
