We made it to the weekend (and July!) and it’s a long one – YAY! I hope you have loads of fun plans with friends and/or family and soak up every moment. I’m in Minnesota – follow along!

Hope you have a great one & enjoy this week’s roundup!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• I visited Joanna Vargas’ salon to get her famed Triple Crown Facial. I felt like my skin was glowing without needing any products or makeup. Everything was tight + toned and I understand now why celebs always book this facial before red carpet events!
• I spoke on a panel at General Assembly with Carly + Hitha and had so much fun meeting new people following it! (Thanks to everyone who came out.)
• Had a fun shoot with Birchbox at their offices for an upcoming post – stay tuned!
• Squeezed in workouts at Flywheel + Flybarre (some of my favorite classes to take!)

READ + LOOK +  LOVE:

• I loved this piece Bill Cunningham penned about his career. I was so sad about his passing. I had seen him so many times out and about in the city and his smile and passion for his work were always so uplifting.
• Loved reading about how Samantha Wills built her jewelry business.
• I’ve never been to Charleston before but after seeing Julia’s photos I’m pretty sure it’s been bumped up in line on the ol’ bucket list.
• Do you guys subscribe to the PopSugar Must Have Box? Their team sent me their latest box and it has such fun goodies in it! I love the idea of gifting a subscription to a friend or sending one as a little pick me up someone who needs it.
• How good does Kendi look in this outfit? Pretty sure I need that top…
• Never seen a photo shoot in Paris I disliked & this one doesn’t disappoint.
• Tips for a good Instagram feed.

SHOP AND LOOK LONGINGLY:

• Have you guys heard of AYR? Such good work-wear pieces!
• Love this LOFT Off the Shoulder top.
• A cute lace mini skirt (for $70).
• Love the message on this tank.
• I feel like Banana Republic has really been killing the shoe game recently and these just jumped onto my Wish List.
• Really ready to pull the trigger on this dress.
• Chicest water bottle ever? I think so (just bought it!)
• Gigi New York just launched their summer sale & it includes my favorite bucket bag I’ve been traveling with & you saw in this post.
