Links, Lust N'at

• Capsule wardrobes? It’s a thing, and I’m into it.

• Do you think the modern era can contribute to an increase of mental illness in children? This article talks about the importance of simplifying our child’s life.  I remember moving to UCLA and meeting a girl in my dorms who grew-up in the city. In our conversation I was describing my hometown and all of it’s magical nuances. This city slicker college student looked at me,”Wait, if there’s no mall where did you hang out as a teenager?” I hung out in the forest climbing trees. I went to the river with friends and hunted waterfalls. Everyday as a kid was filled with discovery and imagination.  I loved the simplicity of my pre-smartphone childhood.

• I do love my record player… I could be down to be turned into vinyl after my death. It’s probably the closest I’d be to becoming a rock star.  

• According to this piece, gentrification is a myth. What do think? I’m a little skeptical. There's a Fox News: Climate change isn't real, feel to it. 

• Cuba, a country of great mystery and romance. Get a taste of Havana’s elusive architectural history with these photos.

• Along the dating lines, Forbes released a list of this year’s Most Eligible Billionaire Bachelors. I hope there’s more women on the list come 2017!

• Mandy from the Curvy Blogger is killing it with her fashion/travel photos. Her and her husband gave-up 80% of their items to move into a camper and travel the country (a win for minimalism!) This awesome babe always inspires me to be myself.

It’s been awhile since my last Links, Lust, N’at! I hope everyone is settling into their new 2016 routines. Over the holiday, I moved to Auburn, California which is still close to my home town but very new to me. It's crazy how I grew-up just under a half an hour away yet know nothing about the area. I'm excited to adventure.

Expect to see loads of snowy mountain pics on instagram!  California has been in a terrible drought and everyone is super stoked to get snow and rain. We live only 45 mins away from the Tahoe area and plan on spending many a weekend there. 

Now that Serial Season 2  is here, I know exactly what I’ll be listening to during walks, kitchen duty, and drives to school! Have you been tuning in?

Thanks to GoodReads, I have my reading list lined up too! They compiled a list of the best books of 2015, and there are so many I can’t wait to read.

In fashion news, I’ve been incredibly taken with the new collection from Paloma Wool. I’ve followed her work for awhile, and each season impresses me more.

Another thing I’m still obsessed with? Rings. These quirky numbers by Mejuri are at the top of my wishlist.

I’ve been trying to stay more up-to-date on the news, and signing up for the daily debrief from The New York Times has helped a lot! 

I’m always looking for ways to simplify my life, and this article from Jessi of Modern Wonderland is a must read! I can’t wait to work on my capsule wardrobe now.

Cheers! I’ll leave you with this little bit of inspiration: Be The Leslie Knope Of Whatever You Do.
