and now some favorites from around the web this week…

this was insane. Taylor, Justin, I LOVE you. But to see Smelly Cat preformed live with my college girlfriends who watched every single Friends episode with me at least 10 times was just unreal.

a serious plea for the flamingo and taco emojis.

random, but I saw three really great pieces of advice on IG this week: from @ohhappyday on doing what makes you happy, from @thetinytwig on saving kid art and from @jengotch on pushing through failure.

cool update to the Instagram platform.

and Joy the Baker on making Instagram beautiful and bearable. (okay, that's enough IG.)

such inspiring photos of clay (and a great "maker" behind the scenes).

tough to look at this kitchen and not say "wow."

"Don’t send yourself into shock by immediately 'doing things.' Let yourself actually wake up." – how to be a morning person.

finally, a video game I can get behind.

the evolution of magazine covers.

I just want to get my sh*t together…or maybe I don't.

beautiful cement planters.

of course there's been a boom in the Birkenstock repair business.

And from me: I was honored to be on the Little Yellow Couch Podcast this week talking about style.
