Well, we've arrived at August already. I had my head down this week with various writing projects, and when I lifted it up on Friday evening I discovered that the house was ashambles and there wasn't a single clean dish to be found. (Does that ever happen to you?) Although I spent Saturday knee-deep in chores, I hope you had the chance to squeeze in some fun! Speaking of fun:
- Limp-locked ladies take note. The Beauty Department reveals how to get beach waves on the cheap with a homemade salt spray.
- Ice cream and champagne and rainbows, oh my! Cyd at The Sweetest Occasion teams up with Skinny Cow to host a summery girls' night in.
- Spoon Fork Bacon recently debuted a gorgeous new site design, but don't worrry—the recipes haven't changed. They're just as lipsmacking and laugh-out-loud as ever.
- A man tried to smuggle his pet turtle onto a plane by disguising it as a hamburger. (And I get nervous taking an extra bag through security…)
- The new étoile Isabel Marant collection is chock full of texture, mixed prints, and slim, sexy lines.
- Sarah from A House in the Hills is giving away a makeover from Alima Pure, an all-natural cosmetics company that's actually good for your skin. Enter here!
- What to do with all those ears of corn that look so irresistible at the market right now? Why, make Thai Coconut Corn and Mushroom Soup, of course!
And in case you missed it here, we talked colorful British design, sassy graphic tees, blending work with play, and how to dress for the office. Not to mention got a little inspiration from zebras. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and see you tomorrow!
