Tell Me Something Good!

I loved starting off last week with a happy up-beat bang so why not do it again? Good news, good news, read all about it! I started off this week a bit earlier than usual but it was for the best reason. Want to know why?!  Well keep reading to find out... and then spill all of your good news too! I wanna hear! So my Monday good news? Well...

1. // This weekend I spent my days slowly roaming the streets of Milan and I got the chance to really take it all in and enjoy a slow weekend in the city. One last time, eep!

2. // I picked up a killer Pomikaki bag for only $40. The Milan sale season is no joke! Talk about a steal!

3. // I tasted the world's BEST pizza on Sunday. Well, it's not on any official lists but it's on mine and that definitely counts for something!

4. // Beautiful weather is good news! A week with a drop in temperature and a hint of a breeze is something to celebrate!

5. // Oh and did I mention, MY BROTHER IS HERE! My brother arrived in Italy this morning and it still hasn't truly hit me! Getting the chance to live in Milan for the summer, let alone getting the chance to travel with my brother in Europe, is something I never ever dreamed would happen. I'm so so happy and very grateful for this experience of a lifetime. 

So what's your good news? Happy weekends or big plans coming up? In the words of Mia Thermopolis, "shoot"!

#FridayFinds: Links I'm Loving

Hip hip Friday! Another week down. Man is this summer flying by or what? Fly through these 6 links and start your Friday off on the right foot. Beyonce prints, your favorite shoes are getting a makeover and the best magazine cover I've seen in a while!

{Link} // A plus size model is to appear on the cover of women's running magazine and listen for the applause! As a runner who also will never have the "cross-country bod" I'm a big fan. Run on!

{Link} // Like gallery walls? Fan of Beyonce? (Duh.) Then say hello to the Single Ladies print.

{Link} // It's no secret I'm a fan of Leandra Medine from The Man Repeller. She's done it again with this great article in defense of "Slow Fashion". Read it, love it, live it.

{Link} // In only 4 days Converse is launching their new redesign of the classic chucks since, well, forever! Always dreamed of converse with arch support? Your dreams are coming true with a small price increase but I'll take it.

{Link} // The Outnet is having a killer clearance sale currently and if you've been eyeing any designer pieces lately this is your chance to snatch it up. Isabel Marant jeans for 30 euro? I wouldn't joke about this!

{Link} // I will forever worship Gossip Girl and Sex in the City. Take this quiz to see if you're more of a Carrie or Blair? (Pst. I got Blair)

Are you loving any of these links? What are your plans for this weekend?

Tell Me Something Good!

Let's start Monday off right! Tell me something good! 

At home there is a morning radio station that features a segment where listeners call in to tell them any and every bit of good news they've recently had. So why not have that here?! Monday's aren't the best but they're at least a little bit better with some good news tucked in your back pocket! So here's my good news to start off this Monday!

1. I visited Venice this weekend for the first time and it was incredible! 

2. We stumbled across a fireworks show so I finally got my fix from the fourth of July!

3. We have a surprise class field trip to a museum I've been wanting to see!

4. I celebrated National Ice Cream day with some great peach gelato!

5. And lastly, I learned my brother is coming to Italy next week!!! Eeep!

So, tell me something good! What's your good news from this weekend or coming up?!

#FridayFinds: Links I'm Loving!

{via}

It's Friday, Friday! (Sorry if I got the song stuck in your head...) But seriously I love Fridays. Everything feels so sunny even if it's still a day in the office. Treat yourself today! And by that I mean to these links of course. Want a laugh from Amy and Tina or revamp your wardrobe? Well then check out these links!

{Link} // Let's start off with a bang shall we? So the French Garance Doré has paired up with Equipment to launch a small collection called Garance Doré Capsule and it is perfection. This shirt {link} is everything I've ever dreamed of and more. I'm loving the fact that small silk scarves are coming back in style. Is there anything more chic? Get ahold of yours now. You can console your wallet later.

{Link} // Have you seen the new trailer for Amy Poehler and Tina Fey's new movie Sisters? Well if you haven't get on it! This is absolutely hilarious and I'm counting down the days till it hits theatres!

{Link} // It's no secret that I love Humans of New York. I'm constantly screenshotting posts and sending them to my friends. It's always a nice reminder to think of all the stories going on around you and sometimes that you're not alone when you're going through some struggles. And the kid posts never fail to make me smile. I came across this one the other day about "Mr. Ferrari" and his happy story about a celebrity encounter. Seriously read it and start your Friday off with a great start.

{Link} // Summer sales are everywhere right now and of course J. Crew Factory is flaunting a great 40% off as well. I'm drooling over so many things in their clearance section. Like can this maxi dress {link} please get in my closet? Also check out their new header sporting "the online home of J. Crew Mercantile. Read my post from earlier this week {link here} to get the inside scoop on this new change-up!

{Link} // Ann Taylor's Instagram is killin' it. I'm a sucker for a great Instagram feed and I actually love seeing the way that brands incorporate their social media to really make a personality for their company beyond the physical stores themselves. So check out @anntaylor for pics of their latest adorable clothes, inspirational quotes and overall beautiful pictures to get you through your day!

TGIF! What is everyone up to this weekend?!
