Friday Favorites

1. This week's obsession has been all about Anine Bing. Her blog... her clothing... her website... Ever since I got this dress in the mail last week (and fell completely in love), I've been wanting to stock up on every piece from aninebing.com. Her silk dresses are such simple, chic, perfection and the studded boots and jewelry line are amazing. 

2. Oh the things that Carrie Bradshaw didn't warn you about. This explains a woman's life in NYC to a t. #issues

3. There are so many hidden gems to be found on etsy. Do you guys visit that site a lot? They have loads of gorgeous dainty jewelry pieces, like these birthstone rings. You can see all of my favorites here.

4. "There is no reason your best years can't be right now, and also ahead of you..." Growing old with yourself - something everyone should learn to do. So well written.

5. My new favorite blog of the week. I always love discovering new blogs for inspiration. Kaitlyn has such a classic, minimalistic style - right down my alley.

6. HILARIOUS. And an incredible procrastination tool. Enjoy.

And a couple more fun things...

How Tory Burch built a $1 billion dollar brand so quickly.

The perfect slip dress with a sexy twist.

The best tote around (in case you missed it).

Tory Burch espadrilles for $74!?

Visiting NYC soon? The best restaurants & spots to check out here.

Super simple chicken recipes to prepare during the week.

Have a great weekend! TGIF!

TGIF

Did this not feel like the longest week ever? Or do I just say that every week? Somehow, the weeks are crawling and yet the summer is flying by. Guess I'm just having too much fun on my weekends! I love this photo above - it just looks like pure happiness. Nothing like a little inspiration for the weekend...

1. This look is so unique and yet cool for the fall - loving the combination of those pieces.

2. The Alexis Bittar collection at Scoop NYC is so gorgeous. In love with these earrings.

3. Madewell is giving an extra 40% off all sale items. Can this dress PLEASE go on sale asap?!

4. Hallie Wilson is freaking awesome. I wish I was cool enough to post HILARIOUS outtakes of myself. These will give you a good laugh for sure.

5. This cooler weather we've been having the past couple days has me longing to pick up this sweater in every single color. Isn't the turquoise gorgeous!?

6. This is Sam's staple Fall item, and I'm dying to get my hands on a pair also.

7. We've been having the MOST incredible sunsets here in NYC lately.

8. I know I've been ranting and raving about the Tory Buch boot collection this season, but I absolutely cannot stop thinking about these boots...

9. My new Instagram obsession. God, could it be any cuter?

10. Stuart Weitzman just brought back their staple Highland boot - which has been sold out and unavailable everywhere other than eBay for the past 6 months. They fit like a glove and look incredible on (especially with dresses). Preorder them here!

11. "Make your life spectacular." Robin Williams most touching, memorable, movie lines. Get your tissues ready.

12. Get your greens in: join the smoothie club, or pick up a box of Aloha (I'm addicted). 

13. Do you drink your coffee at the correct time?

14. My absolute FAVORITE jewelry designer, Julie Vos, is having a rare sample sale. 4 pages of pieces at up to 80% off. Some of my favorites are below...
