Links I Love : Week 20

I am traveling again this weekend, for a friend’s wedding in Ohio. This month has been nonstop and I am finally sitting down for the first time in what feels like forever. I squeezed in a last minute early appointment at Spoke and Weal for a blow out and curls. Amanda and Bianca took great care of me and I got a bang trim. Why does it feel like they grow so fast!! I will have a haircut with Amanda next month for the first time since February. My hair is getting so long.

France’s Love Affair with Cinema

I feel pretty strongly about keeping kids out of social media. It is why you don’t see photos of my niece and nephew on the blog. I take plenty of photos of them but those are private for my family to share. This article was important and I am happy to know I am not the only one that feels this way.

What I bought this week:

JCrew is having 40% so I picked up a few things for Summer. I bought this in 3 colors and at first I thought it might be too low, I noticed there were adjustment straps on the side. I wore the green one with a denim mini skirt yesterday, since it finally was warm enough! This will be a Summer staple for sure.  I also got this dress in white. I am always scrambling for a white dress in the Summer so I thought this time I would plan ahead. 

I bought this black and white polka dot skirt. It does run a little large. I got a small but could have easily worked with an x-small. It is SO cute. I am wearing it now with one of the tanks I bought in white and it looks like a dress. This will be on repeat until sweater season. 

Nordstrom is having buy two mascara get one free. So I decided to try out a few new ones, the Yves Saint Laurent one has amazing ratings and my friends swear by the Benefit Bad Gal mascara. 

Do you have a favorite mascara? I also bought the Fresh lip balm in two colors because it has SPF in it.
