Deconstructed state sandwiches....okay, now I'm hungry.

Someone hire this girl. Kelly Pratt, a design student in Chicago, has set out to create some serious sandwich art. She's making (and photographing) a beautifully deconstructed sandwich for every state. She only has about ten so far, which you can see here, but plans to do allllll 50. 

The best part? When you're done drooling you can head to this part of the website, which has the recipe for each. 



 Holla!

The trip I'm dying to take with friends this summer




Now I am no Annie Oakley. The thought of spending a week in the woods doesn't appeal to me. BUT. My friends and I have lately been pondering spending a weekend camping in good ol' middle-of-nowhere and I think it sounds SO FUN. Escaping city life with all of your favorite people sounds like bliss. I'm talkin all the classics: s'mores, ghost stories, tents. It's definitely an event on my summer bucket list.

A nifty little hair trick I learned



I was reading Gwyneth Paltrow's newsletter GOOP when I came across a trick for adding serious volume to your hair: when blowdrying, take the front half of your hair (from mid-scalp forward) and brush it over your face, blowdrying it dry as it's covering your face (seriously!) Then when it's dry, finger-comb it into place. Ta-da! Bombshell.

The easiest Memorial Day cocktail, well, ever.

I'm not all that sure of the relevance between Memorial Day and tequila but I'm in that "too poor to match my cocktail to the holiday" category so this two-ingredient margarita is right up my alley. Tequila and lime sorbet, that's all it is! Check out the "recipe" here

Two perfectly printed shorts, under $30






1//2

Well done, Forever 21. Wear either of these with a solid color top or, if you're feeling daring, mix with another print! Just remember: balance is important. If you're wearing a bold print on the bottom, go with a more subdued one up top, and vice versa.
