LINK LOVE
I'm all over the place with links I wanted to share with ya'll today, so here we go...
For all those who love puppies (because honestly, who in their right mind doesn't love puppies?), the Fluffington Post is for YOU.... silly, amusing, and pictures of puppies..starting with a photo I took of the cutest puppy I know, Boo Radley ...
Coke machine takes payment in form of HUGS? Yes you read that right, no money required, only love and hugs for this machine... arms open wide. A new coke machine at the National University of Singapore dispenses cokes in exchange for hugs... genius marketing concept? Maybe?
Unless you've been living under a rock the past few months, you're very well aware that Instagram is the latest and greatest in the social media world (hello, Facebook did just buy it for a ridiculous amount of money). While it is a pretty amazing app, the one downside I've heard a million times over is people wishing to have Instagram online not just on their phones... well you don't have to wait any longer, because a website soley for taking YOUR Instagram photos live online, WEBBYGRAM.
For the Austin lover in me, I got a big laugh over the new tumblr WhenInAustin... And a few photos I took in Austin last fall before moving to New York...
Six Reason to Move to Austin, (what, like you needed any more reasons?), but seriously if you are contemplating it, what are you waiting for? Do it already, you won't regret it.
And finally, this has been in the news the past few days here in NYC, but in case it was not in other cities, I just had to share this article about a guy in finance here in NYC who emailed his dating spreadsheet to one of the many girls he was currently seeing. MORON, of course the girl shared it with her nearest and dearest friends, who then shared it with their nearest and dearest, and you get my point. Next thing you know, it lands up on the front page of the New York Post! Check it out below, and for the record guys, it is NEVER, EVER okay to keep a spreadsheet to remember the girls you are currently going on dates with, we don't care if you work long days and with spreadsheets, quite frankly we don't care if you haven't slept in ten years, there is no explanation for tracking our dates in a spreadsheet used for your number crunching. The image is a bit fuzzy, but ya'll get where he was going with this detailed spreadsheet...

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON..
It's no secret that I am a big fan of Shopbop. It is of course a one stop shop to find the PERFECT outfit for any occasion, always. They rarely have promo codes, but LUCKY YOU because right now for 2 days, until midnight tomorrow, you can get 20% off with the code INTHEFAMILY20.
This would be the perfect time to stock up on a few key staples for spring, or just if you are in search for the perfect spring/summer outfit, go ahead and buy it now while you get the discount, right?. A few of the things I'm currently eyeing on Shopbop....
Oh and also wanted to remind ya'll that the special edition issue of Domino Magazine, yes you read that right, the quick fixes edition of Domino came out today, and is PHENOMENAL. Oh how I have missed Domino Magazine! Anyone who isn't familiar with the original Domino Magazine (which ceased publication in 2009), was a fan favorite among those in the decor world primarily because it filled an enormous gap in decor magazines at the time, offering only the extreme high-end and the bare bones budget focused options for decor. Domino offered a high-low approach to home decor and positioned itself uniquely as the lone youthful home decor magazine, encompassing both chic and bohemian, and accessibility for anyone who picked up the magazine.
The latest special edition, Quick Fixes, offers a look at the best home decorating stories, focusing on easy, inexpensive changes that make a world of a difference. I would love to know what you think of the new Domino release? Is it going to fill the void for the huge fan base of the old Domino Magazine?

MONDAY, MONDAY
Happy Monday ya'll! Hope your weekend was fabulous. Two articles for inspiration and food for thought to start the week off on the right foot... check back later for a great roundup I hope to get up later today or in the morning! Oh and if it's anything like here in New York, it is HOT, HOT, HOT... we're talking mid-80's up and down the entire EAST COAST... seriously beginning to wonder if I brought the heat with me to New York this year, what happened to the cool weather? I'd love to be in that picture below cooling off in sparkling water... a girl can dream.... for now the picture will have to do!
Also, a great post over on the blog Elements of Style and especially relevant for anyone on the job search..
And an article worth reading from Forbes with Spanx creator, Sara Blakely's top startup tips.
And a great reminder on forgiveness....

LINE I'M LOVING: BRAHMIN BAGS
I first discovered Brahmin's gorgeous bags on Instagram when I saw a photo posted by the Glitter Guide's Taylor Sterling, seen in the photo below. I tweeted to the Glitter Guide to find out who made the bag and was so happy they took the time to respond and give me the designer name so I could go check the bags out for myself, thank you Glitter Guide! I fell in love with all their spring styles, and would like one of each of these, no seriously. They are all amazing, so it was certainly hard to narrow down which ones to showcase on the blog, but below are a few of my favorites from their new collection.

MAN REPELLER x DANNIJO
The Man Repeller's Leandra Medine has done it again with her second collaboration of colorful necklaces and bracelets with the sister duo making up DANNIJO. MR. DANNIJO Volume II strikes the perfect balance of femine and masculine themes. Not to mention, it makes the perfect accessory to complete any spring outfit! Check out a few of my favorite pieces from the MR DANNIJO line below and check out the entire collaboration on the DANNIJO website. Personally, I would give my left arm (ok maybe just a few fingers, but you get the point) for the GORGEOUS Betty Davis necklace below... HELLO FABULOUS!
