EXPLORE
I’ve never been to New Orleans, but this three-day guide is making a beignet-filled trip to Louisiana awfully tempting.
BAKE
The heart cutouts make this strawberry balsamic slab pie perfect for Valentine’s Day dessert. (Use a small heart cookie cutter to make the pie design easier.)
LOVE
Alissa’s recent post on looking stylish while gaining weight is a poignant reminder that we should all love our bodies no matter the size.
ADORN
These oversize earrings are ah-mazing. Take inspiration from ’60s sweatheart Twiggy and pair the mod flowers with a tent dress and low block heels. (Save 25% on your full-price purchase at BaubleBar with code HEART25.)
LEARN
Unfortunately, we live in a society where throwing away items that have reached the end of their life cycle is the norm. Ikea wants to change that. The retailer is exploring ways to extend the life of its furniture and recycle old pieces.
APPLAUD
Fifty-seven years after her debut, Barbie is getting a makeover.

The new barbies are very cute! I’m excited to see them in person.
Aw, that NOLA guide makes me wish I had more time to explore when I was there! Also, we totally threw away our old Ikea chairs… oops. They were in BAD shape, though (previous owner’s puppy chewed up the legs and the screws were too long for the seats, so they poked through the tops!).
I’m pro-New Orleans all the time! After living there for 5 years I’m itching to move back! You need to go!

Your weekend guide is awesome. I too want to go to New Orleans one day. I loved the latest post by Alissa. She is brave, real and beautiful. And, When I heard about Barbie’s makeover I was so happy too. It is about time.
I need the espadrilles and striped dress from your collage. Both are great Summer picks.
Happy February to you Jessica. 🙂
