The Ugly Truth by Ann Bauer in this month’s ELLE stood out for some reason, I just had a feeling I should read it. The delicate topic of Ann’s heart-wrenching story raises questions on how we perceive beauty and the judgements we make about each other based solely on looks. I don’t want to say too much about the article but strongly encourage you give it a read, the message is a good one – and the happy ending is both satisfying and uplifting.
1. A collection of pen drawings by Sylvia Plath.
2. Fun new monthly series over on Theresa’s blog, Inspiration Cooperative – very curious to see the personalized spin her guests put on the assignment.
3. The inaugural post kicking off Victoria’s new weekly series – a great topic tying in nicely with this week’s weekly reading assignment.
4. Quite possibly the most creative thing I’ve seen all week - lipstick stickers. There’s also Chanel nail polish stickers, Birkin bag stickers and all sorts of other luxury goodies. Is it weird that I kinda want to plaster my entire house with them?
Happy Weekend everyone!
Ah, thank you for the shout out, pretty lady!
I always look forward to these tidbits you share. That Elle article sounds interesting…Definitely going to read. Thank you sharing the other links, as well. I’ve been away from blog reading the last few days, so I missed Vmac’s new series. Clicking over now…
Have a wonderful weekend, Kate! xo
Thanks Theresa!
Lipstick stickers are fab! Great round up as usual, I love checking in on Fridays to see what you’ll include. Don’t you just love Theresa’s new series? So cool! Hope your weekend was a good one!
I will definitely read this, I love a good book recommendation! And those lipstick stickers are cool as well!
Absolutely loving the lipstick stickers, and can’t wait to check out the article. I need something uplifting and inspiring in my life! Great post!
Ahh! I did a report about Sylvia Plath a long time ago in high school…it was a little depressing, but he work is so good. Don’t know why I didn’t know that she was an artist as well!
