Happy {Feel the Beat} Weekend

After spending last night watching Janelle Monáe literally get people at the San Francisco Symphony up out of their seats and dancing in the aisles, I’m ready to put on some tunes and jam my way through this entire weekend.

I sometimes forget how much music can lift your mood and fill you soul. Even when the to-do lists and laundry lists and last week’s still unfinished lists are like weights around your ankles, dragging you down. But I say no more! Turn up some music, have a little dance party for two {or one!} and suddenly those lists don’t feel so long anymore. I love this Spotify station and this Spotify station when I need music recommendations.

What do you do to help yourself get out of a funk?

Here are some things that I hope will also put you in a good mood this weekend:

~ I’m jealous of Victoria’s weekend plans

~ I’m totally going to Sarah’s garage sale – since it’s on Instagram!

~ I totally resonated with Erin’s thoughts on being right where you need to be

~ Only last week I was in Austin with this lovely little thing

And a few things you may have missed around here:

~ I joined some serious style bloggers super stars to try my hand a styling a pencil skirt

~ We toured the sweet East Village boutique Duo in NYC

~ I shared some of my favorite frugal decor finds with Refinery 29

And be sure to come back around this weekend as we’ll have an extra little treat for you!

Till then!!

Trend Spotting: My Must-Have Summer Sandal

Shoe trends may come and go, but there is one investment I want to make this summer. Thank ankle-strap sandal. The look is right up my alley. Sleek, simply and totally sophisticated. The classic is the all black Celine option {and its litany of knock-offs}, but I’m actually into the multi-toned version, especially when a pop of metallic is involved. Officially hunting eBay for those Isabel Marants.

Just remember, with a look like this, a fresh pedicure is required!

Idea to Steal {11}: Clip It, Clip It Good

Though Pinterest may have driven most moodboards online, I still champion a good ole’ fashioned tearsheet. There’s just something about a tangible image. Maybe it’s their size or their saturated color. Or that I just still really like real magazines. I have stacks and stacks of tears in piles around my desk.

But then there’s another somewhat antiquated tool, the good ole’ fashioned clipboard {remember those!}. What happens when the two collide? A stellar display is born. Bringing back the clipboard is officially this week’s Idea to Steal.
