Friday Favorites + Link Love 6/26

TGIF, people!  I hope you all have some fabulous plans for the weekend.  For me, this weekend is going to consist of a trip to the dog park, whitewater center (hopefully), relaxing, and some studying!  Here are some things/links I’ve been loving lately:

These Shorts from Grana

I found these shorts through Geneva’s website, A Pair & A Spare DIY, in her 5,4,3,2,1 Packing Guide post.  I have a similar pair from Forever 21 that I got a couple years ago and absolutely love them.  You can dress them up or down and the elastic waist makes them super comfortable.  I love tucking in a blouse into the shorts and pairing it with some heels or flats, or just throwing on a flowy tank and some chucks.  Knowing my Forever 21 shorts won’t be lasting much longer, and I am loving these other color options, I may invest in a couple of these!

“It’s Not Me, It’s You”  by Mhairi McFarlane

Hi Winston.

This book’s title caught my eye the other weekend at Barnes and Noble so I just had to flip it over and see what the story was about.  I can totally relate to this title of the book (not so much the unfortunate event that occurs in the beginning of the story), so I was immediately drawn in.  Basically, the main character, Delia, is out to dinner with her boyfriend of 10 years, she asks him to marry her, her phone buzzes, it’s a text from her boyfriend meant for another woman that he’s been sleeping with.  Yeah, it’s a sucky situation, but I am interested to see what happens, considering the book is a whopping 531 pages.  It’s been pretty entertaining so far, so I’ll keep you posted about how I like it once I finish!
