Happy Memorial Day weekend peeps. Please make sure to enjoy this new jam as you get down with your bad selves over the three-day weekend.

This post about five braid tutorials for summer caught my eye. I’m not exactly skilled at hair styling, but some of these look relatively simple and would amp up my typical side/low ponytail style.
Memorial Day sale at Furbish: This has been a PSA
Extra extra! Furbish is offering 15% off throughout Memorial Day weekend. Thanks to some very generous friends and a generous husband, I stocked up on some amazing Furb goodies over my birthday a few weeks ago. Some of my favorites included:
This candle- smells like the beach. It’s amazing.
You guys- these napkins are my new obsession. I used them with our blue willow plates this week and started salivating—not over the turkey burgers, but over the striped deliciousness happening on my table.
Pretty print for just $30!
You might be thinking to yourself? Why the hell do I need a fabric garland? To that I say…why the hell not. I love the gypset touch that this little guy adds to my bar cart and I think you will, too!
My life has come to this
Well, it’s time to face the facts..I am the Black Widow of technology. iPhones crumble at my hands. Laptops stop working, inexplicably. Don’t get me started on iPads.
The new iPhone arrived today and I went ahead and purchased an Otterbox (so embarrassing) from Amazon. Here’s the product description:
Defender Series
This is the case you need if you want to be careless, work in harsh conditions, are tough on technology, anticipate heavy use or are just plain clumsy. Enjoy your adventures, whatever they may be without worry of damaging your device along the way. This case is practically indestructible.
- Robust, 3-layer protection
- Built-in screen protector
- Port covers keep out dust, debris
I highlighted the terms most applicable to me.
Try not to judge me too hard when you see me ‘gramming with my sweet case. Honestly? I’m just glad I’m back on the grid.
Craigslist Finds of the Week and an update
Hey y’all,
Sorry the posts have been few and far between lately. A busy schedule and lack of inspiration are to blame—but I hope to pick things up again soon. On another note, we finished House of Cards and…I was kind of let down? I thought the finale was going to be more dramatic but instead was kind of a snoozefest. Regardless, I’ll be watching Season 2 to see what unfolds.
Here are a few fun finds from Craigslist Raleigh-Durham to brighten your Tuesday:
Cool looking bamboo entry table for $25
Ming chair for $125
#Youtried
- Woke up at 6:30, showered and ready in time for 7 a.m. conference call—Yeah!
- Watered plants and tidied up the house while on conference call—Way to go!
- Realize it’s 8 a.m. and you don’t have your work clothes on—Hurry the eff up and run around like a crazy person
- Work bag, lunch bag, hot coffee, toast and iPhone in hand, attempt to lock front door. Hulk smash iPhone into brick front stoop, mid-conference call
- Phone is definitely broken
- Miss providing your update during said conference call because of smashed phone
- Remember you have zero gas in your car and have to fuel up
- Spill gas on skirt
- Jam printer trying to scan in a mother f*&$#ing expense report. Walk away, whisper-screaming obscenities.
- Find out your new phone won’t arrive until Tuesday
Dammit Thursday. Just dammit.
To the max
I’m a huge fan of maxi skirts in warmer weather. The blue one I bought from JCREW last year is starting to unravel after so many repeated wears. Here are a few fun, casual maxis that I have my eye on:
My friend Meg has this skirt and I’m obsessed with it. Buy it here.
Super cute aztec print here.
Embrace your inner hippie with this great tie dye skirt for $40!
Intern season
Our summer intern arrived yesterday, all shiny and fresh and..young. Like junior in college young. After a brief discussion, I asked her a question and she responded “Yes, ma’am.”
Commence Botox sequence.
Asos does Aztec
Anyone else having a tribal moment like me? Beads. Eagle heads. Gold. I can’t get enough. Luckily, Asos has a variety of aztec-inspired pieces to satisfy all of my cravings.
Beach kimono (side note, had no idea about beach kimonos. Now I want, nay NEED one.)
Foil tank (LOVE)
Happy shopping!
My love for John Krasinski began six years ago when I started watching the Office. It’s really awkward because I truly think we share some sort of..connection? So when I saw this Jimmy Kimmel video, you can only imagine how much I melted. His “Teenage Dream” performance is really underrated.
Call me, Krasinski. I’ll make it worth your while.
