Signe Baumane is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker whose animated shorts have appeared in festivals like Sundance and Berlinale.
Over the last several years, Baumane has been at work on a 90-minute feature film called "Rocks in My Pockets," which she describes as "a funny film about depression."
Baumane and her small team hand-crafted 129,600 frames using three-dimensional papier-mache sets and two-dimensional character drawings moving within them.
The film deals with "true events involving the women of my family (including myself) and their surrender to madness," writes Baumane. "The film is packed with visual metaphors, surreal images and my twisted sense of humor."
She continues: "I am making this film because I find the fragility of our minds fascinating. Life is strange, unpredictable and I see the humor in it all. Yes, I almost broke down, but I came back to tell my story. I hope you'll laugh with me."

Maia is only expressing her rights given to her. There are no rules stating she can't use that right. The school is oppressing her, and other students. With her absence from school, it causes many of her fellow peers to wonder what has happened to her or how she is dealing with this situation. That will eventually cause Maia's peers to day dream about Maia's situation in class every once in a while. That will cause distraction to the learning atmosphere.
On the other hand, if she were still in school, Maia's fellow peers would not have to worry about her. Not having to worry about Maia would remove the "disturbance" in the learning atmosphere.
Another thing to mention is how shallow is the Alhambra Unified School District going to get? If the district is going to punish Maia, then punish ONLY her. That is not the case though. The district has gone to such extent as to also punish her fellow siblings. Last time I checked, we lived in America, not Korea. When did we start punishing whole families for actions that one person took?

Database contained post-disaster reports on Katrina, floods, fires
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's official post-disaster reports on lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina and other major events have been permanently deleted from the agency's database because of a server failure, according to a new federal audit.
FEMA lost seven years' worth of post-disaster official reports when a computer server failed in May 2010, and the agency hasn't been able to access the data since then, states the Feb. 8 report from the Homeland Security Department's Office of Inspector General. FEMA is an agency of DHS.
FEMA started creating the after-action reports in 2003 under the Remedial Action Management Program to cull lessons learned and pass on best practices to its staff. The official reports in the database included those on the Hurricane Katrina in 2005, California wildfires in 2007 and major floods in 2008, the DHS IG said.
FEMA goes mobile with disaster info
FEMA has gaps in disaster IT systems, IG says
"Therefore, historical data on lessons learned and best practices are not available to all FEMA personnel," wrote Matt Jadacki, DHS' assistant IG.
The report also found that FEMA did not distribute the reports broadly enough to all response and recovery personnel and senior leaders.
The IG made six recommendations that included urging FEMA to conduct after-action reviews for all disasters, appoint after-action review facilitators, disseminate the reports more widely, and develop an archiving plan so that data loss does not happen again.
FEMA officials agreed with the recommendations and said steps were being taken, or already had been taken, to implement them.

Who's That Guy? Houston Texans Quarterback Case Keenum!Grant Halverson/Getty Images
Who's That Guy is an orientation tool we've been using to navigate college football's vast landscape. This week we're sticking a foot out of bounds to highlight a former NCAA great making his NFL debut. WTG is filmed in front of a live studio audience.
Who Is He? Houston quarterback Case Keenum. Houston Cougars or Houston Texans? Both!
Where Is He From? Abilene, Texas. We Probably Could Have Guessed That, Seeing As How His Name Is "Case Keenum." Did you know his middle name is "Austin"? Bullshit. Totally true.
Years Played: Keenum played four college seasons, plus three games in an injury-shortened season for which he later received a medical redshirt; he has yet to see regular-season NFL action.
Follow the Bouncing Ball: Keenum's collegiate career saw him set NCAA records for career total offense, passing yards, completions, and touchdown passes, and become the NCAA's first player with three 5,000-yard passing seasons. In his time as a Cougar, he recorded 1,546 completed passes for 19,217 yards and 155 touchdowns, as well as 300 rushes for 897 yards and 23 scores. Keenum signed with the Texans as an undrafted free agent and spent the 2012 season on the practice squad. He entered 2013 behind Matt Schaub and T.J. Yates on the roster; following an injury to Schaub and a brief but unpromising stint with Yates at the helm, the Texans announced that Keenum would start in Week 7 at Kansas City.
Here's coach Gary Kubiak on the move: "His eyes got kind of big, but he's excited. He's a competitor and he's a very confident young man. We went out there today and I thought he practiced really well. He's been in big games, a lot on his shoulders, big stage, played in a lot of football games. I know it's a tremendous opportunity. It's what you work for as a kid. You get into this league and you look for an opportunity and, all of a sudden, here's an opportunity for him very early in his career."
His Game in 25 Words or Fewer: Wildly prolific in college; thus far nonexistent in the pros.
Bio Tidbit: Once, against Marshall on October 22, 2011, Keenum threw more touchdowns than incomplete passes, going 24-for-28 with six aerial scores. Another time, against Texas State on September 4, 2010, he threw five incomplete passes and five touchdowns. Watching Case Keenum in college was like watching a sentient Game Genie.
Best Highlight: Fighting through option paralysis here, but gotta go with the nine-touchdown performance against Rice in 2011:
(Keenum, afterward: "That was probably the most fun I've ever had playing football." You don't say.)
Should We Know Him? Trick question: You should have already. Not knowing him will be difficult after Sunday, because you can't not notice a guy taking his first regular-season pro snaps in a midseason game on the road. What we're wondering now is what Keenum might be famous for after Week 7. Debuting at Arrowhead will be no cakewalk, but if there's comfort to be found, maybe it's in the fact that there'll be fewer Texans fans there to boo him if he has a rough start?

I think there was an agenda definitely behind keeping Spadafora out. Of course he only hurt himself by heading to jail and rehab and fighting alcoholism. But whenever he fought he always showed amazing skill. So yes he hurt his career but I also think he was never given a chance. I do believe that the knock on him is that he has no power but he's smart, is an excellent ring technician and knows what he can do and can't do and because of that he never fights to try to knock you out he has said he's no power puncher and won't be something he's not he's a boxer and will master his craft which I believe he has done. I do believe that there was some sort of blackball or whatever the case may be with Spadafora and the industry though. I could be wrong but that's how I feel.

Been my favorite fight my whole life, nothing new here. Frankel is a journeyman, and a tough one, but that doesn't mean anything. Paul has slipped, I mean he is 37, but he still has some gas in the tank and there is a place for him in boxing. He is rated pretty high now by all the major sanctioning bodies, top 10 in a couple I believe.
Anyone saying he has never fought anyone good or decent probably hasn't been watching boxing long enough to even know the names on his resume. He has some solid wins, he operated at the world level for years. Paul at his very best was a master boxer, and someone who knew who he was as a fighter, and he covered all his bases well, he's a throwback fighter. Glad he is earning some checks again.

There has to be a market to cash in on a bloated 48-0 record. For christ sake, use the social media (Twitter, Facebook), leak some soundbites to Boxingscene to promote your record and call out anyone and everyone.
This is what Guerrero did. The guy was inactive for a year and irrelevant and people were talking about him and Mayweather.

This piece by NR's Editors today about the current Republican Senate race in Indiana and their endorsement of the state treasurer Richard Mourdock against six-term incumbent Richard Lugar (that's 36 years) makes me think of another race. That's the one raging in Utah that pits another six-term incumbent, Senator Orrin Hatch, against state senator Dan Liljenquist.
It seems to me that Hatch suffers from the same propensity to support big-government policies that Lugar does.

U.S.-Russia Information and Communication Technology Roundtable starts today
A delegation from the United States will meet with Russian officials starting today to discuss a range of information technology-related topics such as Internet governance and cybersecurity.
The discussions are part of a U.S.-Russia Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Roundtable and bilateral talks with Russia's Ministry of Communications in Moscow, the State Department said. The talks are the first U.S.-Russia ICT Roundtable since 2004, the department added.
Recently, senior State and Commerce Department officials have shown an increased focus on IT. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a speech on Internet freedom in January, and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke spoke in April about cybersecurity and online privacy.
Clinton urges Internet freedom, cybersecurity
NIST will coordinate national cybersecurity education program
"The delegation's mission complements and supports the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission with the goal of beginning a dialogue on a range of topics including broadband, Internet governance, cybersecurity, spectrum management, the analog to digital TV transition and coordination of positions for upcoming meetings at the International Telecommunication Union," State said.
The U.S. delegation includes senior representatives from the State
Department, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Commerce
Department's National Telecommunications Information Administration,
according to State. The delegation is led by Ambassador Philip Verveer,

A chance to tie the series, the Atlanta Braves failed on Thursday. The Miami Marlins walked away with three out of the four game AT Turner Field. Miami now moves up to third in the NL East with a 48-53 record.
"All three losses were close," Fredi Gonzalez said. "One was extra innings, but we just didn't keep the lineup moving. Yesterday we won the game because the lineup was moving and we scored a bunch of runs."
Chris Johnson hit a two-run homer in the 2nd inning which was his eighth homer of the season but the Braves put up goose eggs on the scoreboard after that.
"Not hitting the baseball," Fredi Gonzalez said after the game. "We had a two-run homer by CJ and Justin Upton got three hits but we didn't get the line moving."
The Braves had six hits on Thursday with Justin having three and B.J. Upton, Johnson and Ramiro Pena each having one hit.
Aaron Harang pitched strong through five innings but then allowed two earned runs in the 5th inning. Harang went seven innings with five strikeouts and gave up seven hits. He pitched well enough to win this ball game but the offense just wasn't there again for the Braves.
"It was a tough way to lose the game tonight," Fredi commented on. "Harang had a great performance, we pitched remarkably. We had that freak ball that went off of Gattis' shine guard and goes away and then the wild pitch and the bloop single…then you lose the game with the best closer in the game on the mound."
Craig Kimbrel came into the game in the 9th inning but allowed a run from the bat of Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Kimbrel got Garrett Jones to strikeout for the first out in the 9th inning. Then Marcell Ozuna stuck out but the pitch got away from Evan Gattis and Ozuna made his way safely to first.
"I tried to throw a strikeout pitch that just got away from me a little bit and unfortunately the ball skipped away just a little bit and he got on first," Craig said after the game."
Then Kimbrel threw a pass ball while facing Saltalamacchia when he threw it over Gattis' glove. Ozuna went to second base.
"It's part of baseball, not everything goes perfectly every time you go out there," Kimbrel elaborated. "You just have to find a way to get through it but unfortunately we didn't do that tonight."
Jarrod S then singled to center field and Ozuna scored the winning run.
"I felt pretty good until I hung that curveball and he shot it into center field. Other than that, I felt good and ready to go tomorrow night."
The Braves now take on the San Diego Padres, one of the worst offenses in the MLB, Friday through Monday.
"We have the San Diego Padres coming in…we have to start hitting the ball and scoring runs. We do that and we'll be fine," said Gonzalez.
Well….yeah Fredi!!

IRB Council defer vote on next chairman
ESPNscrum Staff
October 19, 2011
Current IRB chairman Bernard Lapasset is hoping to secure a second term © Getty Images
The International Rugby Board Council have decided to defer the election of their next chairman until December.
The result of the vote was expected today with with reports suggesting support was split between the two candidates - current chairman Bernard Lapasset and vice chairman Bill Beaumont. But the Council passed a resolution at its meeting in Auckland to defer the vote until after the completion of Rugby World Cup 2011.
An election must be held before January 1, 2012 when the current mandate of Lapasset expires. In a statement, the IRB said: "The decision was taken after a resolution was passed to defer the vote until after the completion of Rugby World Cup 2011.
"Both candidates (Lapasset and Beaumont) and Council were in agreement that in future the election of chairman should not take place during Rugby World Cup, but should take place at the IRB annual meeting of Council in the year following rugby's showcase tournament."

Wandering Home: A Long Walk Across America's Most Hopeful Landscape: Vermont's Champlain Valley and New York's Adirondacks (Crown Journeys)by Bill Mckibben
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The acclaimed author of The End of Nature takes a three-week walk from his current home in Vermont to his former home in the Adirondacks and reflects on the deep hope he finds in the two landscapes.
Bill McKibben begins his journey atop Vermonts Mt. Abraham, with a stunning view to the west that introduces us to the broad Champlain Valley of Vermont, the expanse of Lake Champlain, and behind it the towering wall of the Adirondacks. "In my experience," McKibben tells us, "the world contains no finer blend of soil and rock and water and forest than that found in this scene laid out before me—a few just as fine, perhaps, but none finer. And no place where the essential human skills—cooperation, husbandry, restraint—offer more possibility for competent and graceful inhabitation, for working out the answers that the planet is posing in this age of ecological pinch and social fray."
The region he traverses offers a fine contrast between diverse forms of human habitation and pure wilderness. On the Vermont side, he visits with old friends who are trying to sustain traditional ways of living on the land and to invent new ones, from wineries to biodiesel. After crossing the lake in a rowboat, he backpacks south for ten days through the vast Adirondack woods. As he walks, he contemplates the questions that he first began to raise in his groundbreaking meditation on climate change, The End of Nature: What constitutes the natural? How much human intervention can a place stand before it loses its essence? What does it mean for a place to be truly wild?
Wandering Home is a wise and hopeful book that enables us to better understand these questions and our place in the natural world. It also represents some of the best nature writing McKibben has ever done.
The bestselling author of "The End of Nature" walks from his current home in Vermont to his former home in the Adirondacks and reflects on the two landscapes, places of diverse human habitation and pure wilderness that share a border.
About the Author
Bill McKibben is the author of, most recently, Enough and is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books, The Atlantic, and the New York Times. A scholar-in-residence at Middlebury College, he lives with his wife, the writer Sue Halpern, and their daughter in the mountains above Lake Champlain in Ripton, Vermont. Their house in the Adirondacks is in Johnsburg, New York.

The University of New Mexico says it is investigating an alleged hazing incident that occurred over the weekend involving the women's soccer team.
"We currently have someone outside of the athletics program investigating the incident and interviewing members of the team. We are very early in the process of this and do not have all the facts at this time," UNM Athletic Dept. spokesman Frank Mercogliano told KOB in a press release.
"This is a situation that we take very seriously, and will do everything in our power to get answers to what occurred."
UNMPD Lt. Tim Stump told KOB, police received a call at 11:56 p.m. Sunday from the sister of a University of New Mexico women's soccer player, who told police the player was incredibly intoxicated at an off-campus location.
The player was then transported to the hospital.
The team was in Tucson, Arizona over the weekend for an exhibition match with the University of Arizona Saturday night.

New York, New Yo...
I used McCall's pattern, M6551 for this dress. It took a day to put together (and another couple of hours to do the hem by hand). It is so, so, comfortable. I plant to make a few more of these! Runs a bit wide at the neck. I might consider narrowing it a smidge in future. And the material I used feels heavenly on my skin. Falls nicely too. LOVE this dress!
Crepe for the outer Layer, and silk/rayon for the lining.

2000 Nissan Xterra SE 4dr SUV
Good buy for what you get. When they
mean "no frills," this is exactly what
you get. No luxury appointments, but I
wasn't going for that. Needed
something to haul two large dogs, but
didn't cost a bunch. I won't buy
another one of these, as the ride feels
as if you are on a buckboard wagon -
could have had a better suspension

2000 Nissan Xterra SE 4dr SUV 4WD
The Xterra is perfect for our one-baby,
two-dog, surf-board, and kayak carrying
lifestyle. Even towed out a stuck
Cherokee once. (4WD, no less!) The
paint job (white) was really bad.
Warranty work was done to repair
serious rust below the radiator. Also
look for rust spots wherever there is s
spot weld.
Also, there is a mysterious rattle on
the front passenger side that the
dealer was unable to fix.
Overall, we like the vehicle, however,
I recommend hunkering down and taking a
close look under the grill at the paint
below the radiator and in other hidden
areas for signs of rust.

2000 Nissan Xterra XE V6 4dr SUV
This car is one of the best cars I have
owned in a long time! When this car
gets old (which shouldn't be soon), I
will just get another Xterra. They are
great dependable cars and very reliable
for any needs. I would recommend them.

2000 Nissan Xterra SE 4dr SUV 4WD
I have really enjoyed my Xterra with a
few exceptions. Am I the only one who
leaves the lights on an repeatedly
drains the battery. I would expect the
lights to go off automatically to
prevent this. The fact it doesn't
happen is a huge design flaw in my
opinion. I have been stuck on numerous
occassions because I forgot to turn my
lights off. And the battery loses its
juice quickly--in 1-2 hours.
My front tires are always dirty. I was
told it is dust from the brakes. Who
I find the Xterra to be comfortable and
don't understand other criticism on
this point.

2000 Nissan Xterra XE V6 4dr SUV
Now this is an SUV! From the first day
I saw the XTerra, I knew that was the
SUV I wanted and could easily afford.
The truck's been great. I live in the
mountains and the XTerra's made my life
so much easier. Mudslide? What
mudslide? Snow? No problem. Could use a
bit more power to climb the hills, but
turning off the overdrive gives
continued power and saves the brakes on
the downhill.
I also make 500-mile road trips to see
family and we always choose to take the
X. Smooth ride. Plenty of space for
people and cargo. Mileage isn't bad on
Friends love it. Think it looks cool.
Two have gone on to purchased an XTerra.

Recently took my Xterra out to Death
Valley and it performed great! Took it
on an 86 mi. washboard dirt road over a
mountain range and it performed like a
winner! Plenty of power and torque
at lower speeds and for towing. My
Xterra has proven very reliable and I
like its rugged good looks. Gas
mileage could use a little boost as I
am only averaging about 17 - 18MPG. I
would consider buying another, but I
think this one's going to be around for
a while.

2000 Nissan Xterra SE 4dr SUV 4WD
I've owned my Xterra for 3 years now and
what an all-around no nonsense
performer. I live in the mountains of
Colorado and have had it sideways at
angles that make you think you're
sitting in the passenger's lap. Been
over snowy passes, muddy back-roads,
even bumped a guard rail at a pretty
good clip on a slick, icy road, and it
just knocked it out of alignment a bit.
I've had kayaks, canoes, skis, boards
and other misc. on top of it and I've
been nearly ocean to ocean in it. If
you take care of it, it'll take care of you!

I love my Xterra. It is extremely
comfortable, it is stylish and a good

great for a V6. I have had multiple
problems with the car and am a little
worried as to it's future reliability.

it's been real around here, lately.
so real that life has just swept me up
in the billions of things being thrown at me.
i had a dream about the perfect baby name
and then i remembered the name the next day…
i like it,
B likes it,
so it might be a good fit!
of course, i will need to scour my baby name book
just to make sure i've thought of every single possibility
for this little one.
i did seven photo shoots in one and a half weeks.
that was sure something.
and this past weekend, we celebrated this little miss as she turned seven.
and thanks to my sweet friend mia,
who lent me the fascinator.
isn't it fabulous?
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

around here,
the baby is growing!
i'm craving peaches with almond butter,
soy sauce,
and chinese food.
and lots and lots of fruit
and smoothies
and fruit.
we aren't planning on finding out what we're having
until they are welcomed into this world
(we're old fashioned like that).
i'm having a heck of a time
trying to come up with baby names.
and only one stranger has told me what i'm having…
she said it was a boy.
i can feel the baby kick which is SO fun
and i absolutely cannot wait for B and the kids
to feel the baby having a dance party in there.
D thinks i should swallow a disco ball.
when i pick D up from school, he greets the baby
before he greets me.
it's all pretty delicious.
and we're so very grateful.
"Come now, let us settle the matter,"
says the Lord.

they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.

out of whack here lately.
my to do list
which grew to a to do pile
is now multiple to do piles,
completely covering my desk.
i don't even know where to begin.
i've bought new file folders,
but they are still sitting in their box,
in one of the piles atop my desk.
school papers are being swallowed up by my house
and i've been waking in the middle of the night
wondering what i'm already forgetting to remember
to do tomorrow.
and that's only the messes not going on in my heart.

In Mixed Catch, NF Senior Editor Linc Bedrosian spotlights a wide range of commercial fishing-related news items from coast to coast.
Friday, 12 August 2011
Progress is being made in bolstering Chesapeake Bay's blue crab population, but officials say there's more work to be done than previously thought.
Back in April, Virginia and Maryland regulators announced that the population, estimated at 460 million crabs, was at its second highest level since 1997, and for the third straight year stood well above the target. The 2010-11 bay-wide winter dredge survey conducted annually by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources indicated that management measures implemented in 2008 to conserve female crabs were working.
And even though the overall population suffered a downturn thanks to unusually cold conditions that killed as much of 31 percent of Maryland's adult crabs, it still was in better shape than at any point since 1997, officials said. Some 254 million adult crabs survived the unusually cold Chesapeake winter.
The good news continued this week, when NOAA released the 2011 Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab Stock Assessment. Adult female crabs are more abundant, the NOAA assessment says, and hence the overall crab population is higher, too.
The new assessment, which uses a sex-specific model, also finds that in 2009, the Chesapeake stock wasn't experiencing overfishing, nor was it overfished. According to NOAA, the bay's crabs experienced overfishing from 1998-2004 and were considered overfished from 2001-03.
However, there's one sticking point. The population goal posts have been moved.
The new assessment recommends working toward achieving a sustainable target population of 215 million female crabs and an overall total of 415 million adult crabs. According to a joint press release issued by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the NOAA assessment reveals that the stock was more depleted than originally believed. Hence, it will take longer to rebuild than expected.
Fishery managers had been using an interim target of 200 million total adult crabs in the bay as the threshold of a healthy stock. Overfishing was said to occur if 53 percent of adult crabs were harvested in a year. Now overfishing will occur if 34 percent of the females are harvested in a year.
Virginia may not be able to relax harvest restrictions at this point, says Jack Travelstead, Virginia's fisheries chief, in the press release. Virginia watermen are wary, as a larger percentage of female crabs reside in Old Dominion State waters.
However, significant changes to existing harvest regulations aren't foreseen, Tom O'Connell, the Maryland DNR's fisheries service director, said in the press release. Managers will continue to focus on bushel limits and closures.
The VMRC meets on Aug. 23 to discuss the new stock assessment and vote on whether to close the winter crab dredge fishery for the fourth straight year. And Maryland's Blue Crab Industry Advisory Committee will meet this fall to consider industry-preferred strategies for addressing female harvests.
Rest assured that Chesapeake watermen will be keeping a close eye what measures regulators propose for the 2012 fishery.

Screw horoscopes. This write-up is SO on point about my life decisions.

Currently wiping up the coffee slurry on my computer screen after laugh/choke/spitting at this on philologie's dash today. Thank you Internet.
Ramona gets it.
Thanks, E Mase for sending. I'm still laugh crying at my desk over the Forever 21 write-up here.
I'm lucky to call talented jewelry designer Hyla DeWitt a friend — she consistently creates beautiful, different and very on-trend pieces that are some of the most affordable around. She is KILLING IT with her latest summer collection and lucky for you, you can get these pieces for 20% off between now and June 20 with the code SUMMERFAVES. You can see more of these jewels on her website Hyla DeWitt Jewelry.
Got these earrings last week and can't stop wearing them.
I think I have to have this one.
Or maybe this one? Can't. Even. Handle. It.
This necklace with an all white outfit would be fierce.
What are you waiting for?? Shop now and get yourself some summer bling!
My biggest concern after we decided to get a puppy was leaving him alone all day while we were at work. I hated the idea of him in a crate by himself for 8 hours, so I knew we had to find a dog walker who would love our sweet little Harry as much (okay maybe not AS MUCH) as we do. I got incredibly lucky when I found Ollie's Dog Walkers, operated by Julee White. I cannot say ENOUGH good things about Julee and her daughter Taylor- they clearly love dogs and have a sweet, patient nature that puts any dog (and dog mom) at ease. She sends me updates every other day on Harry and is incredibly flexible and responsive if we ever need her to come extra days a week. I found her prices to be incredibly reasonable as well. For those of you who live ITB Raleigh and need someone to give your pup a walk or playtime while you are at work, please consider Ollie's Dog Walkers!

I've taken a hiatus from house stuff to pick up a few key summer items that I'm really excited about and thought I'd share.
When I saw this dress on Sally from a Piece of Toast blog, I flipped out. Clearly she looks AMAZING in it so it's an easy sell, but I just assumed it was some expensive Alexander Wang dress. Nope. It's from Athleta and SUPER COMFORTABLE. Haven't worn mine yet (need to do about 1,000 more squats) but I'm really excited about this easy, comfy, stylish summer dress.
This body wash from Target smells like that expensive stuff you buy from Kiehl's for a fraction of the cost. Also comes with an accompanying body scrub. Bought em both.
Essie's "Urban Jungle"- creamy off-white polish that's office appropriate and trendy at the same time. Win. Win.
I took advantage of the 30% off sale at JCREW with my $25 gift card and picked up this bikini. I love the color- now about that tan…
It's like the Glitter Guide has a portal to my soul. ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS??
