Lovely Links

As much as I would love to live each day dressed to the nines, the reality is that lately I have been looking a lot like the girl in this picture. In comfy clothes, in my bed or on the couch, working on the laptop. I don’t know if it’s the gloomy start to the winter that we’re having in Chicago, or the holiday blues, or the cold that just won’t quit, but I just feel tired. I should be at the gym. With Punta Cana less than a month away, I should definitely be at the gym. But there’s always next week, right? Anyway, here is some weekend reading from this weeks web-wondering:)

~Totally stole this idea for teacher presents this year and used these mugs.

~Speaking of skirts, I can’t bring myself to spend $100 on a tulle beauty so I’m thinking of trying this DIY.
