Another manic week!
Well, hello Friday! Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?! It's been a bunch of back to back long shoot days this week, with little sleep in between so I can't wait to really relax this weekend, ideally with zero makeup and messy hair. Also, since it's warming up this weekend (yay!), we might hop out to the New York Botanical Garden to check out the new Singapore Orchid show (mentioned on my spring bucket list)!
So if you're like me and ready to kick up your heels early, here's a bit of what's been catching my eye this week.
ONE // The 12 best online thrift stores
I'm sorry, did you say something? I was too busy adding these vintage feather slides to my cart.
TWO // A new Sex and the City series featuring women over 60
I couldn't help but wonder...what was Mr. Big's age after all? Didn't he always seem much older than Carrie?
THREE // Making friends as an adult
Loved this post from Keiko about making friends as an adult.
Having watched Mommy Dead and Dearest already, I now have my sights set on this scripted drama series about it. Have you guys seen it already? Thoughts?!
FIVE // Why we all need to care about inclusive sizing
Commendable post from my friend Grace about inclusive sizing and how it's something that affects us all.
[/half][/row]
SIX // Reformation's extended size collection
Speaking of extended sizes, Reformation just dropped this collection with a range of 0-22. Slow clap.
SEVEN // How to get paid what you're worth
Lots of great tips in here, whether you work for yourself or at a company.
I was recently introduced to Upcounsel earlier this week and I have to say, the idea is genius. As an independent contractor, it's always nice knowing you could potentially hire legal counsel without it being a really intimidating process. Think of it as Task Rabbit for legal projects/issues.
OUTFIT DETAILS: Johanna Ortiz dress rented via Nova Octo // Nine West heels (gifted) // Vintage pearl clutch (similar style here) // Vintage Chanel earrings

Why hello, Friday. Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?
I don't know about you, but this week kicked my ass. In all the best ways. But in a lot of "I need to re-evaluate my time commitments better" ways too. I tend to think I can accomplish and fit A LOT into a 12, sometimes 14 hour work day, only to realize after about 10, I'm anxious and exhausted, with a hint of hangry. So, in the spirit of relaxing the F out, I'm unplugging as much as possible this weekend. And finally tackling the piles of unsorted clothes that have crept their way all over my couch.
So let's dive right in, shall we?
ONE // Meghan Markle's tour wardrobe slayed us all
So is it just me, or was little Miss MM's wardrobe SO GOOD EVERY SINGLE DAY of that royal tour?! I kept checking the @KensingtonPalace account on Instagram for the latest outfit change like it was Christmas morning -- that Brandon Maxwell dress in particular being the real dealbreaker. Sigh.
If you haven't been following this, here's the brief rundown: the New York Times recently released an investigative report documenting how Google paid Android founder Andy Rubin $90 million in a severance package AFTER finding the sexual assault accusations against him to be credible and true. Yesterday, thousands of employees at Google walked out in the middle of the day in protest. I'm hopeful this will bring about some impactful and lasting change at Google because if I know anything about those employees, there's a detailed Google Doc somewhere with listed requirements, demands and necessary next steps.
THREE // My new favorite under eye routine
Step 1: Exuviance Intensive Eye Treatment mask first thing in the morning for 15 minutes (usually store them in the refrigerator so they're nice and cold). Really helps to depuff any baggage!
Step 2: Guerlain Orchidee Imperiale Eye and Lip Contour at night I LIVE for this stuff. Use sparingly, it's pricey, but decadent!
Step 3: Sleep with a silk eye mask. Not only does it help block out light and help induce sleep faster (leaving me well rested!), but it helps keep all eye product on at night (instead of on the pillow) thereby keeping moisture right where it belongs -- on me!
FOUR // Ultramarathoner Latoya Shauntay and the "Back of the Pack" mentality
I'm excited to go cheer on the runners this weekend, but especially the folks who look like they need a little extra encouragement. I loved how Latoya took someone taunting her at last year's NYC Marathon and turned it into motivation to finish. Someone did something very similar to me when I was running last year, and instead of getting angry with them, I took it out on the pavement and kept moving.
FIVE // Keiko wins the Halloween costume game
I mean, she's basically all the Disney princesses wrapped up into one!
SIX // The army of women who took down Larry Nassar
It's hard to read at certain points without crying, but it's also hard to read at certain points without wanting to slow clap for these ladies and their courage, their candor and their strength.
SEVEN // King Kong comes to Broadway!
And I, for one, and HERE FOR IT!
EIGHT // Friendly reminder: NOVEMBER 6th: GO VOTE!
In case I haven't said it enough, TUESDAY IS THE DAY TO GO VOTE, folks! Make a plan today -- most polls open at 6am and stay open pretty late, so I recommend checking your schedule now and planning around it. Again, I don't care WHO or WHAT you vote for, just VOTE PLEASE.

Oh, what a week!
It's been a rollercoaster over here -- with lots of full day shoots and little down time in between, which is admittedly, just the way I like it. That said, your Friday Favorites are coming a day late, so I hope you already have your weekend coffee in hand and some AC blasting (I certainly do!). Let's dive in!
ONE // Meghan Markle and Me -- Who Wore It Best?
The other day, when I was boarding the bus to head out to Montauk with the Cynthia Rowley team, my friend Lex sent me a DM with a photo of the Duchess of Sussex. Her message with the photo was: "Aren't you wearing the exact same outfit right now?!" I couldn't help but laugh -- we basically were! I had the denim, midi Martin Grant dress you see here, Meghan, of course, was in Carolina Herrera, for the Sentebale polo match in Windsor, but side by side, basically duplicates. Naturally, this begs the question, who wore it best?
TWO // Sachin + Babi beaded bag
I don't know about you guys, but I'm switching up my summer bag routine from straw and wicker to all things beaded. The more vintage looking the better. And this little number from Sachin + Babi is all I want to grab when I head out these days. Plus, it comes in so many different colors -- the emerald is high on my list.
THREE // How Goop's haters made Gwyneth Paltrow's company worth $250 million
Love her or hate her, she's got one damn good business model. This quote sums it up best: "Her business depended on no one ever being able to be her. Though I guess it also depended on their ability to think they might."
I recently saw this here in the city and practically had goosebumps the entire time. The archival footage is incredible and all the interviews are very candid and raw, plus the editing is hauntingly beautiful -- just like his work. Highly recommend seeing it.

Speaking of your watch list, I recently started HBO's Sharp Objects, with Amy Adams. AND I'M HOOKED. No surprise there though -- it's directed by none other than Big Little Lies's director Jean-Marc Vallée and the soundtrack is amazing -- already have it fired up on Spotify.
SIX // Is this group of islands the next "Iceland" destination?
Spoiler alert: I'm going at the end of August, so I'll let you all know!
SEVEN // What border officials actually think about Trump's zero tolerance immigration policy
A heartbreaking and eye opening read. My favorite part: "On a conference call with a border patrol officer and his cousin, an editor at a local El Paso publication, they both agree “we have lost our focus on humanity.” The officer tells me a story of a four-year-old boy crossing the border alone and running up to him, grateful he’s made it across. As the officer turned the child over to officials, he held back tears. He knows the chance of the boy ever seeing his family again is slim. “His mom either sent him alone so that he would have a chance at a better life, or she’s already crossed over and is living undocumented and will be unreachable, but maybe she’s in the system. With up to 99 percent of asylum cases at El Paso being denied, it’s unlikely these two will end up together.”
I recently asked in an Instagram post whether you guys preferred a certain polka dot dress or a yellow dress and the overwhelming amount of comments in support of the yellow dress leads me to believe I just need more yellow in my life. Looks like I know what I'm shopping for this weekend.
OUTFIT DETAILS: Martin Grant dress (sold out, but this Stella McCartney version is really similar and on sale!) // Olympia Le-Tan clutch // Chanel slingbacks (snag these -- AMAZING condition at The RealReal!) // Missoma necklaces

It's about that time, right on cue. Winter is still in full, confusing swing here in NYC, and it's beginning to feel as though it's been going on for-ev-er. The past few months have been a mess of snowstorms, rain, hail, sleet, and the occasional (and typically welcome, ignoring global warming) near-6o-degree day. Suffice to say, this crazy weather has us dreaming of warm afternoons lounging on the beach, pleasant temperatures to explore cities, and sunshine abound. Time to start planning a trip, huh? These photos are from Krystal's recent trip to L.A. and I am seriously craving some real vitamin D.

Happy Friday, everyone!
How has your week been? A nasty cold took me down at the beginning of the week, and I've slowly been recovering through lots of tea, orange juice, and time in bed. I finally got out to a yoga class last night and a boxing class this morning, both of which were a bit tough to get through (sniffling is not fun while you're alternating burpees and jab-cross-hooks!) but I felt great once I was done. After another yoga class this morning — trying to work in a bunch of fitness things before school starts up again for me! — I'm feeling ready to take on the weekend.
With Krystal traveling and my own lazy, bedridden state, I seem to have spent a lot more time than normal on the internet this week. So, in the spirit of self-care, I've decided to bring you some of the best things I've read/stumbled upon/tried at home/bought lately.
Also, friendly reminder, if you haven't already, make sure to enter Krystal's $1000 giveaway!
Relax with a good cup of coffee and browse our favorite links from the past week...
[prodr brand="TONE IT UP" product="FITNESS SOCKS" description= "Do you have a secret hatred for ankle socks? The things are necessary for any ankle-boot loving fashionista, but they either 1. get lost immediately or 2. never stay put and provide no comfort. I bought these last week and am already headed back to buy another pair. They are cushiony, have a gripped heel, and they literally say "boss babe" on them. I'm in love." link="LINK URL"]
[/prodr]
[prodl brand="AVALON ORGANICS" product="VITAMIN C RENEWAL CREAM" description="I first spotted this moistruizer in my mom's beauty cabinet — she loves organic and clean skincare products so I knew this had to be a good one. I finally picked it up for myself and I love it. It's deeply moisturizing, and vitamin C gives dull winter skin a perfect luminous boost. Also, it's under $15!" link="LINK URL"]

- A thought-provoking op-ed in the Times about the sexual assault accusation against Aziz Ansari
- With all the cold weather in NYC and Reno, we've been dreaming of a summer filled with pinks, yellows, and blues
- My favorite Whole 30 recipe so far (more on that later!)
- I just ordered the new Glossier product that promises perfect skin in a matter of weeks — are you a fan of the social beauty brand?
- The coolest pair of jeans to transition to spring (hopefully soon!)
- I just bought this set from Outdoor Voices and can confirm it really is as comfy as it looks
- Cider-braised pork shoulder and butternut squash. 'Nuff said. (Just signed up for an in-print subscription for Bon Appetit — you should too! The photos are insanely gorgeous and the stories are lovely)
- Can we just agree this is the cutest dessert ever?! (Hint: it's filled with egg custard!)
- Lastly, this is definitely not from the past week, but if you need a smile, watch this quick clip of Elvis duetting with Frank Sinatra back in 1960. It's guaranteed to make you happy 🙂
That's all for me! Is there anything you've been loving from the interwebs lately? Let us know in the comments!
Have a great weekend, everyone.
