:: friday five ::
when watching secrets + wives this week (go watch it right now!), I discovered the amazing app google translate. who says bravo doesn’t teach you anything?
this is going to be amazing in Italy! You speak into it, and it immediately repeats it in italian. You also can take a picture of any sign or wording, and it’ll translate it for you!
look at that…. through watching reality TV, I am now speaking Italian.
SONO STUPEFACENTE (I’M AMAZING!)
for my next party, I will definitely be making these caprese phyllo cups
I love anything in a phyllo cup (these chicken pesto cups + these sausage phyllo cups are some of my favorites) and these look incredible!
my ideal summer ensemble
I’ll do a post this weekend about the 97 pairs of sandals I’ve ordered over the last week, and I was right…… the ugly pair that travel websites said were the best for walking all day ARE SO COMFORTABLE and SO MOM SHOES. dammit!
Rocksbox sent me a code for 3 friends for the first 3 months of membership to be COMPLETELY FREE!
so, first three ladies, get after it with code TAYLORBFF216
I’m waiting on my second box now and can’t wait to see what they send!
I successfully woke up early two times this week (preach). I must say it felt amazing. However, I still didnt get the things done that I thought I would by waking up early, hence the lack of blog post on Wednesday despite getting up at 5:30 on Tuesday.
But hell I did it twice and made it to pure barre this morning
so for that I will cheers with a big ol’ pinot grigio this weekend.
…… and lots of beer for blackhawks as well.
Taylor – my husband and I went to Italy (Venice, Florence, Cinque Terre and Rome) in May and I ended up wearing these new balance sneakers the entire trip: https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/sneakers/PRDOVR~06690/06690.jsp
The walking is no joke. I also bought birkenstocks for the trip (never say never) and loved throwing them on in the evenings. I just wouldn't rule out sneakers of some sort…loved the new balances. Have fun!
thanks for sending me those kelsey! I know you're right…. and I know I just need to cave and do the whole sneakers thing. Birkenstocks are actually the other sandal I was considering (never say never is right). I am not a jeans person when I can be wearing dresses, but I think I need to recognize that I can't wear a maxi dress for 15 days and I can find a way to look cute in jeans and sneakers with a top. AHHHH. those are definitely the cutest option out there thank you for sending to me and for your tips!
Hi there! Any chance you could give me more info about that fab striped dress? The link didn't work for me…
oh no! I'm so sorry! I'm trying to find the direct link now I will post it if I can find it!
Caprese phyllo cups, yum! What a great idea! Xo, Stephanie
