The idea of spending a summer studying for the biggest test of my life is pretty intimidating…and depressing. The best way to keep from going totally crazy before the big day is to schedule some time to enjoy life. Saturdays are always good for enjoying life in my book. So we packed this one with all kinds of goodness: we went to the farmers’ market, got our herr did, had food and wine outside, walked around the Art & Nature Park, went to see Maleficent, hit up the J. Crew sale, and spent the evening sitting on the couch watching Netflix. Seriously, if you think there’s a better way to spend a Saturday, then you’re doing life wrong.

Do I look cool? Because I feel cool. I guess if I were actually cool, I wouldn’t talk about how cool I am, but I can’t help it. I wore white pants and a white shirt for a whole day without getting any dirt or food on myself. Plus, I’m rocking a black blazer and shades like a secret agent (but one from a movie that dresses all sexy and less utilitarian). And to top it all off, I debuted my #1 coolest purchase of the month (and probably the year): my mint Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C. bag! You might have seen the announcement on Instagram, but I’ve been admiring this bag for a long time and decided to sell a few things – including an old Marc Jacobs bag – so I could afford to buy a full-size M.A.C. without busting my budget. These bags retail for $295, but I found this one for almost 50% off at Nordstrom Rack, and the income from everything I sold was enough to cover the whole cost. OK, admit it…that IS pretty cool, right? 🙂
