This weekend why don't you :: rock a wide brim!
I'm loving this wide brim straw hat option from J.Crew or this one from Need Supply Co.

{what you might have missed on Here&Now}

{1.} The full round up of the Summer Capsule Wardrobe (10 foundation pieces that are made for easy packing!) 

{2.} 3 easy ways to remix your sundresses.  

{3.} I love wearing flats all year long - check out how I rock them with a midi skirt.  

{4.} A easy Summer work outfit. 

{5.} Feel good about shopping - see how Ten Thousand Villages changed the free trade game!  

{posts I'm loving around the internets}

{1.} Tyler & I are trying to get back into healthy eating habits (this Summer has been lots of beer & BBQ!) so I have been pinning away some lighter options on my Pinterest Food Board. So far we have tried this Sweet Potato Chicken Korma, Quinoa Enchiladas, Crockpot Quinoa Sloppy Joes & this Thai Steak Salad. What healthy recipes do you prepare when you are on the go?

{2.} I usually refer to blogging as the Wild Wild West because there are few rules & certainly no guide book, so it is super interesting to see where a top blogger gets most of her traffic/income. 

{3.} Cupcakes & Cashmere has done it again - venturing out into new arenas made possible by her blog, this time her own Cupcakes & Cashmere clothing line! Have you checked it out? I can't help it, I'm obsessed with this skirt (I blame the pleats!)

{4.} What are your thoughts about using hashtags on Instagram? If you are a hash-tagger, which ones do you use?

{5.} Maybe I'm a creep, but I love getting a peek behind-the-scenes of my favorite blogger's lives. This is how one blogger approaches working with sponsors, & how another makes sure that she writes emails that get noticed.
