Get ready to dig in, my friend!

This week’s Miscellany is jam-packed with visual + moving image inspiration GALORE.
I went a little cray-cray pulling together the best-of-the-best links from around the web for you {and let’s be real, for me too}.
I adore this edition and I hope you do to.

The big news for me this week is that I started working out again after a very lengthy absence.
I’m not a big fan of exercise, but am so excited about starting the Tracy Anderson method again.
She makes cardio fun {think lots of dance moves}!
It’s a killer commitment – an hour per day, 6-days per week for 3 months.
But I’m up for the challenge. And so is my body.
In fact, I think I just learned to enjoy sweating during yesterday’s workout.
Can I get an A-men? And a cheers to “Project Get-In-Shape-Girl”?!

What are you “working out” this weekend?
Whatever it is, I hope it’s something yummy + crazy fun.

Happy Friday!

THIS WEEK’s MISCELLANY

In honor of Gatsby ~ a little look at Tobey + Leo’s longtime friendship. So sweet. ;)
Stories We Tell. ‘Cause we ALL have stories. Can’t wait to see this!
As I get ready for Mexico this list of must-have travel remedies will come in super handy!
Profound look at astronauts perspective on earth + life. I had chills watching this. So fascinating!
I’ll be writing more about my fave beauty products in upcoming posts, but for now, peep these 20 lipsticks to steer clear of!
I am obsessed with rompers. Like OBSESSED. I might not take mine off until Fall. Therefore, I should probably invest in a few of these, to get me through summer.
Stop complaining.
I need this in my life. Stat.
Men experience labor. I never thought I’d see the day. Soooo funny.
What’s your #2 telling you? Yep. I went there.
Are you an inspiration seeker like me? A great post about applying all that inspiration to your work. Good stuff!
The best 5 minutes of my week was spent watching this.
An interesting article on an unintended side-effect the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon might be having. Pretty interesting read for someone who grew up in the church.
Feeling this photo today. Beautiful + simple. Oh Mr. Schuman…your photos are perfection.
One more from my fave street-photographer. Denim, denim, denim. I love it.
I just downloaded this super-rad digital book about Paris. It’s making me antsy to get my butt on a flight.
A sweet + easy tutorial if you’re into distressed denim, but don’t want to pay for it. :)
Sarah Wilson just released her “I Quit Sugar Chocolate Cookbook” – I love everything this woman writes, this is no exception. Can’t wait to dig into all her choco recipes!*
J. Crew’s got a fab sale happening for ladies right now. 20% off all women’s apparel. Holla!
My last meal on earth would include shrimp & grits. For those of you that aren’t on the up & up with grits, I defer you to this.
This series of portraits is genius.
I am a woman. This girls words speak to my soul.
Damn they make cooking look so, so good. I love how moody and evocative their videos are.
Another of my favorite fashion photographers. How grand is this runway capture?
My go-to healthy beauty blog is celebrating Melanoma Awareness Month by donating proceeds of this clean sunscreen to charity. Stock up y’all!
I’ll bet you can’t get through all of these images without shedding a tear. So. Powerful!
A nice list of options if you’re not boozing it up these days.
Makes me miss living in St.Louis. I love thunderstorms!
A few killer songs + a hardcore lip sync-off = sheer perfection! I adore these two.
Made By Hand is by far my favorite online web series. The filmmakers nail both the power of storytelling and artfully crafted imagery. Their newest episode just came out and it’s SO good. A must watch!
