Memorial Day Weekend Wrap Up + Hit List

Alas, summer has finally arrived! I hope all my fellow Americans (and people everywhere) have a really amazing weekend and get some beautiful weather. I basically live in fear of gray skies and raindrops these days because I’ve been having massive migraines from all these storms. So – please, no rain this weekend for anyone so we can get sun and not have to worry about throbbing/blinding headaches.

This week was a really good one for me! It’s been busy, but at the same time never felt like overwhelmingly busy. I finally saw Divergent over the weekend! That felt like a real gift to myself. Which is sad. Going to see a Sunday matinee is somehow a highlight? I need to get a grip ha! I liked it…but by no means like it even nearly as much as The Hunger Games which, I’ll be obsessing over as I reread Mockingjay soon.

1. Awesome onion rings! 2. Goddess Cate Blanchett at Armani 3. Divergent! 4. Warby Parker sunglasses. 5. Black, white and yellow! 6. Skinny cocktails and Mad Men 7. Gorgeous summer weather!

It’s also been Cannes Film Festival week. I got in a routine of work – dinner – browsing fashion. Work – dinner – browsing fashion. Oh, with some reading thrown in at the end. I reread Gillian Flynn’s Dark Places this week. Which is even better the second time around. I wish she’d put a new book out soon *begs* I’m currently in the process of compiling a Summer Reading List. I’m thinking of sharing it in a post and updating you along the way. Why not get more into books and life bits around here?

Dating Advice from TV’s Leading Ladies – the Every Girl
I’ve never read a self-help book on love and I routinely go selectively deaf when people talk relationships. But, we all do watch television. I don’t watch most of these shows listed here but there are definitely leading ladies out there that pack a lot of good advice! Television is like

Google Analytics in Real Life, Site Search 
This is priceless! A real-life example of failed search engine results. Skim-Semi Milk? It’s a perfect representation of the modern day world and how SEO has big impact – in a hilarious scenario. Genius commercial by Google and if you do anything with marketing, branding, internet sites, etc…a must watch!

Jennifer Lawrence Pukes at Oscar party and shamed by Miley Cyrus – Elle

You have to love Jennifer Lawrence for being the biggest it-girl with the most blunders. She’s like the anti-Audrey Hepburn – in the most endearing way. Her face as Miley Cyrus is priceless! Can she play Miley in the sure-to-be-coming biopic of her life? *begs*

Celebs Read (and React) to Mean Tweets About Themselves – Elle Magazine
I’m sorry to share yet another video. What can I say? I was into YouTube this week! But seriously, people say the harshest things on twitter…not just OF celebs but directly TO celebs. Ouch. Sofia Vergera’s closing line was priceless!

And that’s this week in a nutshell! I hope you’re off to enjoy some Memorial Day weekend fun! I kicked things off last night with a cookout and I hope the fun only continues.
