Procrastination Station- July 22

Posted on July 22nd, 2015

I have a lot to tell you about this week.  Be ready to open some new tabs.  Mixed feelings about this first item…

Maybe some things should stay in the past?  I absolutely had a Limited Too phase, but I wouldn’t say the brand was a bastion of class.  I seem to remember them as the champions of booty shorts and sassy slogan shirts… but I suppose today’s 11 year olds are entitled to make the same tragic mistakes as I made in my own youth.  Bless their hearts.

Yes, my Limited Too khaki capris laced up the side.  BOTH SIDES.

Nowadays, I’m much more likely to be shopping at Shoes of Prey.  I’m usually super basic when it comes to shoes– I pretty much just buy neutrals in classic silhouettes– but designing your own custom creation seems SUPER fun.  When I read about this and clicked through the link, I thought to myself, “Well, I will enjoy playing around on the site and not ordering the $348 shoes I design…”  Except they are very affordable considering the custom work!  I may turn into an actual customer.  My feet just may be fancy yet.

For more outdated un-news, I stumbled across this New York Times article on slow love (hot off the presses!  only a month ago!).  It discusses the concept that people sometimes change their initial thoughts on someone after getting to know them, and that attraction increases overtime.  Relevant in my case– I knew Ian for seven years before the idea of dating him ever really crossed my mind!  I have long felt that the best relationships can come from those who are friends for a while first, and the article kind of agrees with that, too.

Book your flights to come see me!  We need to try every single place on this list of the best brunch spots in Seattle.  Don’t worry– our sleeper sofa is arriving next week.  Plenty of room for all of you Internet strangers.

In other eating news (the best kind), Emily published this list of the 15 Best Things she ever ate as a play on the Food Network series.  I think this list is so much fun!  I may even put together one of my own.  I’m sure y’all are waiting with bated breath.

So, I told you about shopping, eating/drinking, and being in love.  What else is there?
