You made it to Friday! And now it’s time to celebrate. I’ll be doing so in Lake Tahoe so follow along with my trip over on my Instagram. Have a great weekend!

• I loved this Q&A with Diane Von Furstenberg on the Times this week.
• This is a fun read about 10 young New York creatives shaping the fashion industry.
• I loved Cathy’s post on how to be a better blogger. I’ve been penning this blog for nearly 8 years and it’s good to have some reminders of what to stop doing and what to keep up! (And, as always, if you have feedback for me I’d love to hear it- you can email me at witwhimsy@gmail.com).
• This sounds delicious and I can’t wait to make it with the last of the summer corn.
• It’s official- these are the chicest rain boots you’ll ever see.
• I loved seeing the looks from the Tory Burch, Alice + Olivia, Rag + Bone, Tibi and Rebecca Taylor shows.
• I loved looks from Liz, Blair & Rachel this week.
• J.Crew is offering an extra 30% off sale items. Now’s the time to stock up!
• Grace rounded up the best of drugstore beauty by asking bloggers their favorites – so many good recommendations (thanks, G for including me!)
