Around the Internet This Week

Hey y’all! (Yep – that’s the Texan coming out it me.) Happy weekend! We have so much good stuff for you to browse this weekend, so let’s get right to it…

• 7 TED Talks that will inspire you to succeed
• 31 most instagrammed restaurants in Los Angeles : It’s been a while since I’ve spent much time in LA. But next time I do, I’ll be sure to check out some of these spots.
• 37 naturally heart-shaped spots around the world : Valentine’s Day may be over, but why stop the love? So, we are adding some of these destinations to our travel list.
• 48 hours in Mexico City : In spite of all the times I’ve been to Mexico, I’ve never been to Mexico City. Lauren’s recent writings and photos are making me want to visit!
• Did you see that Lilly Pulitzer teamed up with S’well for the prettiest water bottles ever? The limited edition collection should be in Starbucks stores soon!
• New York Fashion Week just wrapped up, and we love every single thing from the J.Crew presentation. Not only was the collection itself exceptional, but we love that J.Crew continues to use “real people” as models.

  • You might even spy our Instagram friend Ana… hint, hint, look 21.
• Speaking of NYFW, sure it looks glamorous and fun – and there are parts like that. But it’s not all fun and games. And I applaud both Courtney of Color Me Courtney and Sai of Scout the City for keeping it real.

• We are so in love with Gray Malin’s new Bon Voyage series… What’s not to love? Fashion + travel + cocktails.
