Links to Love

Okay this week FLEW by. I cannot believe it's already Friday. I don't know why it went so fast but I'm surely not complaining. Maybe because I barely slept? Between Tuesday and Wednesday night, I got 7 hours of sleep. Yup, in 2 days, I slept for 7 hours—I was at work for more hours during those days than I was asleep. Let that sink in for a hot second.

I will be sleeping in late this weekend mixed with some blogging, goal setting, and a dinner date with my sorority family. A low-key yet productive and fun weekend is just what I need.

I was in a fantastic mood this week, hardly any anxiety and everything was just good, which is always a plus in my book.

These will both be included in the links but can we talk about two huge pieces of fashion news. First, C.Wonder is CLOSING. I am beyond DEVASTATED. I just got a gorgeous monogrammed leopard tote bag for work for Christmas from them and I wanted more goodies but now, it's all gone. I'm so sad but Ms. Tory Burch is probably jumping for joy.

In HAPPY fashion news and the best news I think 2015 will grace with me, LILLY PULITZER FOR TARGET. Not to toot my own horn but I'm 98% sure I was the first one on Twitter to see this news. I saw Refinery29 tweet their link about a new Target collaboration but I was not expecting to see the face of the queen of pink and green.

I let out a huge scream, so loud that my mom thought something bad happened. Immediately my social media timelines flooded with the fantastic news and I hardly saw any "hate". Some people aren't happy because they feel that the collab will take away the exclusivity of Lilly Pulitzer but I think that there is more than enough to share. Just because it's a lower price doesn't mean it's not real Lilly. If Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim are good enough for Target, you bet your ass Ms. Pulitzer is.
