Friday Sales + Links

Here are some great links from around the web:

• The skinny on summer fruit and how to find, wash and store.
• A couple recent articles (here and here) from Anthony Bourdain. Just finished his book too. So entertaining!
• Did you hear about J.Crew's new shop, Mercantile? Is this different than their Factory Store?
• In case you missed it, here is Caitlyn Jenner's full speech from the Espy's. Grab a tissue first.
• Unique ice cream flavors that sound amazing this summer!

I couldn't let this day slip by without mentioning the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I was able to snag my first pair of Rag & Bone jeans, which I am so excited about! (I found they ran a bit big, so I sized down.)

Here are the other items on my wishlist:

I love that clean rose gold watch. And I swear by the No Frizz products by Living Proof. So good!

So happy the weekend is here. We are celebrating two birthdays this weekend: our nephew and my dad.

Hope you have a great weekend planned!

Bachelorette Party in Jackson Hole

Over Fourth of July weekend, I celebrated my best friend's bachelorette party in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

We stayed at Spring Creek Ranch resort. It was close to town and had the most beautiful views. The grounds and rooms are gorgeous, rustic and spacious.

We had a fun-filled weekend that included horseback riding, white water rafting and a rodeo.

Last week I posted about looking for a great pair of denim shorts. I was lucky enough to find the pair of Joe's I'm wearing at TJ Maxx just before I left! Our fun 'Bride Tribe' tattoos were from the Etsy shop, Daydream Prints. Loved them!

Jackson Hole was absolutely gorgeous! If you have the opportunity to go, it's definitely a US destination spot. I can't wait to go back again when it's winter.

Here are a couple restaurants we went to:
• The Bunnery: Yummy breakfast and pastries
• Snake River Grill: Delicious dinner and such a fun setting
• Trio: Also great for dinner, a bit more modern

Best Carry-On Bags

After living in Dublin, the bird and I went through (and left behind) our carry-on bags. With lots of mini getaways this summer, I was in need of a new tote bag that would work as a carry-on and 'weekender.'

Here were a few favorites I found in my search:

Canvas Weekender // Striped Woven // Canvas + Leather Weekender // DAY bag // Pink + Grey Parker // Lo & Sons OG

I ended up going with the DAY bag. It's the perfect size for a long weekend and the material is durable and easy to clean. I also have the Cassidy tote from Sole Society. But I find this size is really only good for an overnighter.

Yay for summer!

5 Ways to Incorporate Tassels this Summer

Tassels are such a fun trend and I love them for the summer! Here are some of my favorites:

DIY tassel sandals // Tassel keychain // Tinsel drink tassel // Embroidered tassel shirt // Agate + Tassel necklaces

There are lots of diys out there and Etsy is also a great source (for affordable finds + to support small buisness!). I love the agate & tassel combo. And those keychains would be so fun on a clutch too!

Father's Day Gift Guide

Hope you're having a great week!

Father's Day is just around the corner. So, I wanted to put together a gift guide of fun things I've seen around the web.

luggage tag // pomade // shaving set // iphone case // paddle board set // usb cable // speaker // travel bag

I am loving that luggage tag, even for me! And I bought the bird a similar shaving set for Valentine's Day and he loves it! This is a popular and highly reviewed shaving cream if you want to complete the set.

Happy Gifting!

Casual Summer Outfit

I'm not sure if "What I Wore Wednesday" is still a thing, but I'm playing anyway. It is in the 80's this week and I was excited to bring out some summer pieces.

Here is the look recreated, with some of the same pieces:

v-neck tee // panama hat // coral pants // leather belt // silver lake tieks

I bought these pants a couple seasons ago, but they look like the same ones. And the best part is that they're only $30 from Zara.

And I finally got a pair of the fabric (vegan) Tieks. Love them!
