links + small things

What I learned from the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC tour

I’m really 50/50 on how I feel the speed of the summer has been. In some ways I cannot believe we’re already near August, but in other ways I’m still very glad we have a handful of weeks left before school kicks off!

While I’m certainly not in “fall clothing” mode, I have been eyeing a few things recently and find myself leaning towards all things woven or perforated. Like this sweater from Varley, isn’t it pretty?

I thought these earrings from ABLE were pretty, and a nice update from a traditional gold hoop.

These sneakers from Target look very similar to a pair I’ve gotten from New Balance, but they’re under $30!

I am in a bit of a reading rut right now so I picked The Nightingale back up (only read about 30% of it and then abandoned it) and I’m swept back into the story.

And here are a few things I mentioned on Instagram Stories recently that you may have missed:

Honest Beauty Sheer Lip Balms in Dragonfruit and Summer Melon

Londontown Nail Concealer in Pink – really love this for a barely there color between dip powder manis!

Hey Kate, you probably mentioned this on IG and I missed it- what type of bra would you wear with that Target tie back dress? It’s super cute but I don’t think I could go braless!
