thoughts and whatnots: 7.3.16

project 366: June  |  February  |  January

blog love:

• My sister's latest post on faith and redemption gives me all the feels. 
• Anne's week of work to weekend guest posts were so great this week. I love learning more about my favorite bloggers (and discovering new ones to love!) and honored Anne choose to feature me among all the other amazing ladies!
• LOVING Megan's eyelet and gingham combo!

on teal & polka dots:

• on the blog: June budget recap. 
• on instragram: showoff blooms. 
• on pinterest: obsessed with the idea of this top with my white jeans. 
• coming up on the blog: a little red, white + blue outfit inspiration on Monday and the latest edition of Currently on Wednesday. 

favorite sales:

• Extra 30% off sale items at Anthropologie with code EVENBETTER
• My picks are this cute boat-neck navy and cream stripe dress, 
• these gorgeous white with embroidered teal quatrefoil dot curtains (that would look PERFECT in my living room), and
• this drool-worthy navy slub velvet arm chair that's so out of my price range I can only dream about it...
• Up to 60% off sale at Boden (no code required)
• Love the casual look of this black tunic dress that can be worn with sandals now and with boots in the fall. 
• How fun is this gold glitter dot navy stripe breton tee? 
• I'm kinda obsessed with these studded pointed toe T-bar flats that come in a bunch of different colors. One of each please!
• Extra 50% off clearance at J. Crew Factory with code HAPPYSALE
• I just got this seersucker blazer and I love it! You should get it too so we can be outfit twins. :)
• I own - and really like - the J. Crew version of this perforated crepe dress, and now the factory has red and black versions.
• This pretty lace yoke tee (in cream or peach) could easily be dressed up for work with a pencil skirt or worn on the weekend with shorts. 

personal:

• what I'm reading: My sister recommended reading Glennon Doyle Melton, excited to try something a bit different than my usual women's lit.
• what I'm watching: The Joy of Painting by Bob Ross of Netflix. Oh.....yeeeeeaah....
• what I'm listening to: Ingrid Michaelson's two recently released songs from her upcoming album "It Doesn't Have to Make Sense." Come on August 26! Can't wait for the full album!
• what I'm crushing on: I know I don't need another Kendra Scott tassel necklace, but I want the rose gold/peach and abalone shell/gold versions soooo bad.
• what I'm looking forward to: The 4th of July! Food, family, fireworks, what's not to love?
