TGIF

Happy Friday!

This week has gone surprisingly fast considering I was barely at work the past couple of weeks. This weekend, Kendall and I are meeting my parents for a wine tasting at Mt. Vernon with my mom’s JHU alumni group. Sunday, I’m heading home to Olney for brunch at Cava Mezze to celebrate my friend Erica’s birthday. What are you up to?

Hocus Pocus Another Glorious Morning Coffee Mug

Lately on The CaroLøve

What I bought & what I want

I went a little HAM when I was down the shore getting some goodies for fall. Not as crazy as I’ve gone in the past but I did find some cute things. I did REALLY well at the flee market… I actually found Too Faced Rainbow Strobe Rainbow Effect Highlighter for $12! (And a Stephen King book for $3! I can’t wait to read Under The Dome!)

This may sound silly but I was researching perfumes and read that Diamonds and Rubies by Elizabeth Taylor was a good dupe for SUN MOON STARS by Karl Lagerfeld. The latter is a fave that has been discontinued and now sold for around $300, so an alternative for under $20 doesn’t sound so bad!

Don’t forget you can always peek at my wish list over in my sidebar. Here’s what I’m currently craving:

Around the internet

I’ve heard of Synesthesia before (not that I knew the name for it), but this essay explaining what it’s like to live with it opened my eyes to the fact that there are many different variations of the condition. Do you taste words? Or associate letters and numbers with very specific colors? I took a little questionnaire and I may have a touch of it myself because of the way my mind organizes months into locations… if that makes sense.

I loved this post about “buying into the hype” from Helen because it’s so true! Actually, the same thing happened to me with a leopard skirt I loved on Dana… I chased it down, waited for it to go on sale, but unlike Helen was SO disappointed in how it fit on me.

Sorry not sorry over how much I LOVE this blush pink Halloween party from Lauren Conrad. Omg could it be any cuter?!

And speaking of Halloween parties… Dani and I are co hosting a Black Cat Soirée! More info and tickets here.
