I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a mad hangover! Not from celebrating too much during yesterday’s 4th of July shenanigans, but from all the anticipation upon arriving in San Francisco yesterday. This weekend I get to spend all my time visiting with old friends, hitting up all my favorite eateries and seeing what’s new + exciting in the Bay. It is such an awesome city and I’m just so grateful to get to spend some quality time here with my man + my friends + the city I adore. I’ll keep it brief this week since I really want to get outside and soak up the scenery here. I hope you have a brilliant long weekend ~ I’ve got some uber fun and special links + videos below to keep you company should you fancy a little down time on the interwebs. Sending loads of love + sparkle(rs)! xo

THIS WEEK’s MISCELLANY

• Pet owners :: how awesome is this?
• Home sprouting? I think I might try it.
• These two. I mean… SO SO heartwarming.
• Can’t stop hunting summer sandals. They’re just so damn comfy. How cute are these?
• Fog porn. Ahhh, San Francisco.
• Have you heard about Alicia Silverstone’s recently launched breast milk sharing program. I’m with my girl Monique on this one.
• H&M goes high end (but only in Europe…so far). Someone get me to London, stat!
• Mango iced tea sounds exactly like what I need to endure this summer’s heat waves.
• Loving this clean beauty resource.
• Will most definitely be tracking down these ladies in SF this weekend.
• Mmmm, grilled shrimp!
• Cronuts are the hot new thing in NYC right now. And I want one.
• I can never get enough of NYC ~ here’s a peek at yesterday’s 4th of July celebration!
• When can I move in here?
• This man is a real life hero. And he makes me want to give more to others. Take a few minutes to watch this. It’s worth it.
• Go Cho go! This is what’s wrong with entertainment today (well, one of the things).
• These look delicious – perfect for summer! So does this.
• How cool is this guy’s chandelier project? It might not be life changing, but it’s certainly making his neighborhood a more beautiful place. I can’t wait to do a drive by once I’m back home. 🙂

• Kinda got a little girl crush on Janelle Monáe. And her hot look in her latest music video are all the reason more to adore her.
