\"Walking<\/a>

(A vintage locket in my reading nook.)<\/p><\/div>\n

This week was fun and busy! Rhys turned five and now we are gearing up for next week’s trip to the beach. I won’t post next week, but will return on the 20th. In the meantime, here are a few things that caught my eye this week.<\/p>\n

Shark Week is fake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Blatant election fraud in South Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Orange is the New Black” got me thinking about Mountain Dew. One writer explains how the drink came to unfairly stereotype an entire region<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whataburger<\/a>, a favorite Texas restaurant, politely addresses the new open carry laws.<\/p>\n

An updated version of a Harper Lee documentary<\/a> will air on PBS tonight.<\/p>\n

Fashion and fonts<\/a>, by Katrina Tan.<\/p>\n

Le Dessein<\/a> empowers girls through art and fashion, and the result is incredibly stunning.<\/p>\n

“Fashion for skinny people.”<\/a> (The comments in this are just as entertaining.)<\/p>\n

How retailers are finally recognizing the need for plus sizes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And pink on the walls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
