I apologize for the lack of posts this week. I had some rather heartbreaking news in my personal life and therefore I’ve not been in much of a state to be blogging this week.

That being said, I managed to cull together this week’s roundup and next week plan to be back to regular programming. Appreciate you bearing with me. Have a lovely weekend and tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. xo

READ + LOOK +  LOVE:

• I loved this look of Taylor’s. And am buying this $25 dress pronto! (Taylor’s 5 Year NYC anniversary post is also pretty great.)
• Ashley’s cape dress is so fun for a night out.
• These photos were absolutely stunning.
• I loved Hallie’s dress in this post.
• Mary’s thoughts on balance really resonated with me.

SHOP AND LOOK LONGINGLY:

• The new arrivals at Anthropologie are so top notch. I bought this and this and I can’t wait to wear them during this season.
• I absolutely love this shoe.
• This cuff is the perfect statement piece for a night out.
• I love this swing dress for its easy, breezy shape but also for its $98 price tag.
• The print of this dress is great (and it is only $62)
• These studded sandals look like Valentino but have a much more reasonable price (and come in 3 colors!)

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

• I turned 30 and shared the lessons I had learned.
• Sharing weekend travel essentials with Cuyana.
