Happy Saturday! +3 Good Things for your Weekend

Saturday | Covet Living

Happy Saturday, y’all!  I hope this (^) is what your weekend already feels like.  It’s the most gorgeous day in San Diego, and my friend Hope and I are about to go for a long hike and then jump in the ocean.  That’s not awful, right??  Even if the temps aren’t so amazing where you are, I hope you’re cozily nestled in a fuzzy blanket watching football, or Christmas shopping online while you sip hot cocoa in your PJ’s (on that note – we have AMAZING Holiday Gift Guides coming out in the following weeks!), or doing whatever it is that fans up your skirt and makes you feel happy.  On that note…  here are:

3 GOOD THINGS FOR YOUR WEEKEND

1.  { listen } :: This is my new favorite jam, which will make you feel instantly relaxed… #namaste.  And it’s by the Bestie Boys of all people (say what now?)..  Brought to me by unicorn of a human / my older brother of sorts, Mully.

2.  { buy } ::  Best Plaid Shirt You’ll Ever Purchase, Target $22.99.  PS, it’s Buy 1, get 50% off clothing, shoes and accessories today at The Mothership – otherwise known as Tar-Jay.

3.  { read | nourish your soul } :: That effervescent image at the top is from a VERY poignant post Karrie did last January as reassurance to me when I was in the throes of a gut-wrenching breakup that everything was going to be just fine, and that it was actually for the best.  I’m reposting today because I have a few girlfriends who just made the very brave and never-easy decision to get out of relationships that were neither healthy nor sustainable, despite there being a lot of love.  And those gals get nothing but huge hugs and gobs of respect from me.  If you’re going through a similar thang, then Karrie’s post will do you proud, girlfriend.  In about 45 seconds.

When I was a kid, Easter was all the rage because it meant that I got to dye eggs (ahhh – can’t you just smell the vinegar and see the PAAS kit on the kitchen table??) and if I was lucky, it meant I might get some new frilly, saccharin-colored Easter dress… probably something my Grandmother would buy me in an attempt to make me “act like a lady.”  (Ask Ruthie how that worked out for her.)  As an adult, I’ve swapped real eggs for Reese’s peanut butter ones, and Easter dresses for Easter kicks – otherwise known as floral pumps.  Dresses – meh – you may only wear once or twice, but floral pumps, imho, are a far better investment because they’re almost like a wild card / versatile neutral you can wear with anything: they take jeans + a white tee from “I just painted my bedroom in this” to très chic, take a normal striped dress (hey Hopie Sue!) from “I’m going to the Country Club today (yawn)” to “oh hey guys, I just threw this together because I’m channeling Carrie Bradshaw & am effortlessly fashionable and free-spirited and fabulous” …or yo.  If you work in an office where the dress code is a little more austere – say, suits & dresses that are all one neutral color – then maybe you can still have a little fun with what’s on your feet.  Plus… if looking down at your hooves and seeing these doesn’t brighten everyone’s day, gurl I don’t know what will 🙂
