Weekend Reading.

Happy weekend! I got a slow start being “back on.” It was one of those weeks where I put myself to bed early… but still ended up sleeping in. As the Winter Wellness Challenge kicked off this week, I was pretty good about eating healthfully and getting to the gym, but I also felt really tired all week. One of my goals is to be a little kinder to myself this year, so I am giving myself permission to ease back into work. I still got everything done, it just wasn’t as orderly as I’d like. This weekend will be low key. Dry January so… stayed in last night, going to spin class and a few museums today, and undecided on tomorrow! Whatever you are up to, I hope it’s great – stay warm, friends!!!

YAY – Honestly FIT is here and the site looks AMAZING.

Love the colors of this embroidered dress.

I have zero upcoming travel plans but am legitimately obsessed with Blair’s Resort Picks.

I always love this series from Merritt. She’s making me want to plan a ski trip!

Such pretty party earrings – I’m partial to the blush pink.

Good advice on dealing with anxiety at work.

I’m in the market for new ankle booties and am pretty sure I need these, right?

Kat’s look back on 2017 was so real and honest – I loved her post and am so happy for her!

Blair’s all red outfit in the snow is just so good.

Need a vacation just so that I can wear this magical dress.

This is NOT for you if you’re doing the wellness challenge (cheat day perhaps?) but…. howww amazing does this spinach and artichoke mac & cheese sound? YUM.

These strappy sandals are so chic.

Julia’s photography is always so stunning – loved her 2017 in review!

This is an oldie but a goodie… as I’m reading Mark Manson’s book right now, a friend sent me this piece about your “two minds.”

It feels like EVERY blogger has this comfy looking pullover and I feel like I need it too?

Jess linked to this post in her roundup yesterday and I really loved it: What my Uber Driver Taught me About Grace.

The flirty silhouette makes this the perfect party dress.

I really loved Christina’s goals for 2018. I agree SO much with what she said about blogging – all the stuff, keeping it real, not always feeling like we have to wear something brand new!

Loved seeing Jillian’s photos of snowy Charleston!

A fresh take on the classic striped tee.

Such a fun vibrant look on Jenn!

My favorite sweater tunic from earlier this year is back in a bunch of colors. I love it in “mink.” Size down… I’m swimming in the small.

How cool are these aerial views of Dubai!?

Love these simple beauty resolutions.

These pom pom earrings are SO fun!

The best clean beauty essentials for winter skin. Loads of great serums, oils, and balms!

I’m obsessed with the embroidered stars on this sweater!

Mackenzie looks SO pretty in this summery maxi dress. Makes me want a warm weather trip!

How to be a better person in 2018.

Pretty sunglasses in my favorite color.

Loved Carrie’s very colorful year end review.

I definitely don’t need another white lace top but…

Loved Will’s plans for 2018 – per usual, the photos are stunning!

Though I’m a lot older than Carly, she is making me want to try this serum!!!!

Such fun loafers! (Big fan of the velvet).

Always love this series from Molly and Sally and clearly I desperately need this notepad!
