Midweek Ramblings + Recent Purchases + Current Wishlist.

{Just another snapshot of me out for a walk in my favorite place in Vermont! I sure will be sad this winter when it's too cold to go for walks on this lake trail. Follow me on social media @miss_alk!}

Ramblings:

• New Favorite Show: Although I am more of a TV person than a movie person, I am not much a binge watcher. I do love Netflix of course, but I rarely get through more than two episodes of a show in one sitting. Well- my apprehensiveness to binge watching all changed this weekend when I discovered the TVLand show Younger! I was tired of Netflix options and decided to see what was On Demand with my cable plan and found Younger... I was hooked from the first episode and had finished the first season in 24 hours! I've never done that with anything before! Without spoiling the plot, Younger follows a New Jersey woman's move to NYC after a divorce, and chronicles her new adventures at work and in love. Hilary Duff stars in one of the supporting roles on this show, and I'm quite convinced she's just as good as she was as Lizzie McGuire!
• 24 hours in Montreal: My former roommate from last year in Charlotte, Ciera, just arrived yesterday in Vermont to visit me this week! Tonight we are headed north for an overnight in Montreal. We are going to see a concert, and I CANNOT WAIT! I was also in Montreal last month to see Chance the Rapper at the same venue (I was given free tickets from work for that show), but this show is one that Ciera and I bought tickets for, and I rearranged my work schedule specifically so I could attend. It's two artists that I've been wanting to see for years... any guesses? 😉
• Follow me on Snapchat! I decided to take a couple days off from Instagram posts/stories while I'm in Montreal this week... I love IG as much as the next blogger but a break is good sometimes! I decided though to again try and step up my Snapchat game this week... I'm @miss_alk on there too and you're welcomed to follow me!
• The Bullet Bra: This hilarious article came up on my Facebook newsfeed this week, and I totally fell for the clickbait. Apparently this was a major trend in women's lingerie not too long ago... my goodness I am glad these days are over! Read this if you need a good chuckle today! 

Purchases:

• I went kinda crazy in the Lauren James Pink Friday sale last week! I did have a gift card that I received c/o Lauren James as a thank you for doing a collaboration with them recently, but the sale was so good that I spent my own money in it too! I'll share just a couple of the things that I bought in today's Purchases section:
• I bought this vest which will be so great for fall outfits here in New England!
• I scooped up a ton of tshirts in the sale, but this adorable long sleeved one I'm especially excited to receive!
• Let's talk about this gingham one-piece... I'm kind of sad it didn't get here in time for the 4th of July but I'll still be wearing it for the rest of summer!

Wishlist:

• I really like the bow details on this affordable cold shoulder sundress.
• This top is so unique! I love the bright pattern and also the style of it. I think it could be worn in many different outfits. 
• I'm not normally a fan of bralettes, but this one comes in so many fun colors and isn't a bad price!

     

     Thanks so much for reading, and wishing y'all a great rest of your week! I'm really excited about Friday's outfit post already!

     God Bless,
