I’m loving this four day weekend but hating all the rain around here. Getting on instagram makes me so jealous of all the boating, picnics and laying out because it has been miserable weather here. We made the best of it on the fourth though with a day-drinking game day inside.

Here’s hoping for a pool day at some point this weekend… but if you’re stuck inside like me, here’s some of my favorite finds from the interwebs.

* One of my favorite blogging pals, Lauren {PR Blonde} is making the big move from Dallas to NYC. I’ve loved following along on her journey. p.s. – she writes some killer Bachelor/ette recaps that can fill the void since I’ve given up writing about this season.

* Feeling crafty (or just bored being inside)? Try this patriotic DIY from Jenni {I Spy DIY}

* So simple but perfectly unique. I may need to copy Mary {MAS Fashion} and add this LBD to my closet.

* I’m on a big simple basis kick (especially since I’m trying to avoid shopping this month, gotta save up for a bathroom renovation), so this look from Erin {The Ivory Lane} immediately got “pinned” for inspiration.

* Love this printed, pretty summer dress on Betheny {B Soup}.

* This makes me happy. Buzzfeed is always a solid place to lose a good 20 minutes looking at lists but this one may be my all-time favorite. Take a look and then go thank a solider.
