Good morning, everyone, and happy Friday! After another incredibly busy week, I am ready to welcome a relaxing weekend of sleeping in, reading and absolute leisure (yay!). The Ironman competition returns to The Woodlands tomorrow, so I may head out to cheer on the participants for a bit. It’s a long, intense course, but it’s crazy what the human body is capable of accomplishing with hard work and discipline! Outside of that, not much else on the agenda, and I’m perfectly okay with that. What are all of you up to this weekend? Hope it’s relaxing for you too, and enjoy my favorite links from the week!

This large, turquoise cotton napsac from Bag “n” Noun, farfecthed from Henrik Vibskov Boutique. With a contrasting cream leather strap and buckle, a top handle, and two shoulder straps, it’s like Breakfast At Tiffany’s packaged up as one practical (and fashionable) accessory for the day-tripper and traveler. Absolutely love! Priced at $273, I can’t say that it’d be a steal, but oh my gosh, so pretty!
*Available at Farfetch.com.
Don’t you just love the maxi style? I have been searching for a fun maxi dress to don for the remainder of spring and summer, but have had no luck. At 5′ 7″ and long legs to boot, I have yet to find a maxi I like that doesn’t hit a couple of inches above the ankle, which I think takes away from the traditional, (nearly) floor-touching maxi style. In the meantime, I have been wishing I could find something even remotely close to these lovelies…and that fits within my budget (less than $100, please!).
Hopefully, you’ve had better luck than me! And if anyone can offer suggestions on where to look, please…do share!
