{ best of the blogs } : july 28-aug. 1

here’s a quick wrap-up of the best of the blogs this week – a little weekend reading for you if you have some down time, perhaps? chances are, you’ve already seen these posts, but just in case you haven’t, i definitely think they’re worth repeating.

+ holy site redesigns, batman. holly and erin have completely redesigned their blogs, and they’re gorgeous. get thee to decor8blog.com and designformankind.com immediately, if you haven’t already.

+ nicole has started a series of posts about how she started her business, pink loves brown. informative and inspiring.

+ the lil bee’s tale of her adventures in miami are a must-read. seriously hilarious. i laughed out loud.

+ joy’s “feeling jute and black” post is lovely. see those sam edelman “ilsa” flats? WANT.

+ this herb salad that heidi posted looks divine, doesn’t it? and the photographs that accompany her recipes are always so beautiful. (side note: i miss my immersion blender. i must get a new one, stat.)

+ jan posted a great peek into a floating home that i would just love to live in one day. it’s a toss-up between that and a treehouse for me, really. one day…

+ and finally, i leave you with this image from the sartorialist: the perfect yellow dress.

happy weekend, my loves! some college gal pals are coming into town – we’re going to celebrate birthdays (t.’s was yesterday; mine’s next thursday), drink wine, eat yummy food and catch up on everything. hooray for girls’ weekends.

see you monday! xx.
