- *GASP*!! ANOTHER MAP SCARF. WANT!!!
- This is so sweet. I love reading stories like this when other people make others feel good.
- How cosily gorgeous is this sweater from Modcloth!?
- Every single avocado hack you will ever need. I chow these things down like candy, and so does Baby Bun (he always comes home hassling me for “ahh-caahh-dohhh??”) so I am loving these tips.
- I don’t know why, but laser-cut lacy leather shoes are on my radar right now. Something about it being pretty while.. in leather.. = tough??
- An interview with a Christie’s auctioneer. One of the sales is shocking, $300,000 USD dropped on a handbag? That’s more than what my apartment (my half) cost!
- This $60 Modcloth dress looks perfectly draped and wrapped for a Grecian goddess. I am obviously weak for all things with proper ruching & drapery.
- 5 elements of the PERFECT handbag. For me, it’s size (can’t be too tiny, need to fit a toy truck in there too), that it has long handles for the shoulder, is made of a good quality material and sewn properly (I am ROUGH on my bag), and weight. I don’t mind heavier bags but not when I am out with Baby Bun because I’m just a Mommy Sherpa, so I need to make sure I don’t break my back if I need to carry my purse & my toddler on the other hip..
- These hammered copper earrings make me wish I had pierced ears. And these ones too.
- If you are looking to make cash from your closet, these brands resell very well.
- Stacy London from the show (What Not To Wear) on aging at the age of 47. She still rocks it for me. I’ve always liked her on the show, and I like her even more now.
- I am going to try and DIY this gorgeous painted seaside necklace…
- Need a baby name? Want a unique one? Try out this list. Baby Bun’s name is very ordinary. We went about it the way we typically do things.. by making a huge list of Boys and Girls names, then going through & crossing off all the ones that had accents (terrible to type & spell), anything that made us think of people we don’t like, and then picked a name from each column. Took us less than half an hour with zero agony.
- I own this studded black leather belt and it is stunning. It truly is a work of art.
- A tear-jerking documentary worth watching that’s up for an Academy Award. *sniffle*
- The sleeves on this sweater are really interesting from The Row. It’s girly.. but I’d wear it.
Thanks <3 For the Linkbacks, folks!
- Both Bottom Line Mom & Lil’ Green Footprint linked to my practical minimalist wardrobe, and talk about aiming for the ideal of mixing & matching pieces to take the guesswork out (which by the way I LOVE doing). All of my outfits can be seen here first on Instagram @saverspender, or collected into Flickr @saverspender after they’ve been posted (I only put outfit photos there).
- The Cornish Life very much appreciated my laundry tips (good luck!)
- U Chose Wise Lee sourced my piece on Management Expense Ratio (MER) fees when writing about mutual funds.
- DQYDJ liked my piece on minimalist futon sleeping; I was thinking the other day how awesome it was to have a futon on the floor to play and hang with Baby Bun because it is soft, I can nap while he plays around Mommy Mountain & I have no fear of him falling off and smashing his head open.
