Weekend Links

Notting Hill, London

Doesn’t this look like it was taken in Charleston? Nope, Notting Hill in London. I think it’s crazy that they get so much water and such mild temperatures that variations of tropical foliage can thrive. It was definitely one of the most surprising things I discovered in the United Kingdom! (I’ll have more photos up soon, along with an itinerary of what we did and a travel guide.) Plant life aside, happy weekend! We delightfully have no plans this weekend and are hoping to go on a few bike rides, work around the house, enjoy home-cooked meals, and maybe even break out the grill!

Weekend Links:

  • It’s Kentucky Derby weekend! Here’s a ranking of this year’s horses based on name alone.
  • Obviously, you’ll have to perfect your mint julep skills before Saturday. (And if you feel like throwing a last-minute soiree for the most exciting two minutes in sports, take a look at this guide.)
  • Tory Burch’s favorite scent-related memories.
  • Allie’s roundup of Nashville’s most Instagrammable spots makes me want to go back! (You can read my Nashville guide here.)
  • I just ordered this dress to try. The shape is typically a flattering one for me, so I thought I’d give it a whirl. (I’ve lost 13 pounds since Thanksgiving, so I’m in this weird transitional period with some of my fitted items.)
  • High school dress codes are unbelievably outdated and sexist.
  • The story behind Madonna’s slip dress in “Like a Prayer.”
  • If you don’t already have wanderlust, this list of the world’s most colorful places is sure to have you aching to book a flight.
  • How many flowers go into a bottle of Chanel No. 5?
  • The Boy Scouts of America will be dropping the word “boy” as they welcome girls to scouting next year. I was a Girl Scout from first through 12th grade, but I think it’s great that the Boy Scouts are forming a co-ed scouting opportunity.

Finds Under $50:

  • This is the best deal I’ve found on a woven tote bag yet, and there’s free shipping through the end of today!
  • Pair this beach dress with strappy sandals and you have a dinner-ready outfit on your next excursion. (Use code SUNNY for 40% off.)
  • I bought this dress last week and I absolutely adore it. It reminds me of something you’d find at Anthro. (I’m going to have the ruffled sleeves removed.)
  • We’ve had a lot of rain lately, making an umbrella my daily accessory! I love the preppy stripes on this one.
  • This is such a cute little gingham top!

Earlier This Week:

  • I’m back on a sartorial budget.
  • April’s mini moments.
  • Sharing the pros and cons of the Paravel backpack I used in London.

I love precious jewelry that isn’t, well, too pr I love precious jewelry that isn’t, well, too precious to wear every day — which makes this @kellyrosegold bracelet perfect for my wardrobe. The bracelet is made of 10k gold and hammered to reflect the light. It comes in white, yellow, and rose gold. Best of all, it’s flexible so that it’s easy to get off and on.
