Introducing: The Laundry List

I’ve been meaning to do a links roundup forever. So here we are! Here are a few corners of the Internet over the past week that resonated with me. And because this is my first one, it’s also a cheat week. Some of these articles and vids are a bit older, but worth including.

1. Some cool advice videos from Lena Dunham. She nailed the intro.
2. On riding a bike as an adult and overcoming fear. Inspiring story by a close friend.
3. I’m recycling a few good posts curated over on Wit + Delight — this one is where my head’s at, in my own way. I don’t 100% relate to this next one, but I like her style and feel like we’d be friends.
4. They had me at neo-hippie.
5. Ponytail #2 was from a Refinery29 story I wrote awhile back. Fun fact: It was shot in my living room and the model borrowed my shirt! (This one.)
6. Behind-the-scenes look at Fashion Week through the lens of Natalie Joos. Curious to see what you think about this one.
7. Gotta admit, Will Smith is so freaking likable.
8. For SF’ers: I’ve been giving Amour Vert a lot of love lately. But sounds like they’re having a sweet sample sale!
9. This one has been circulating far and wide but just in case you haven’t read it, The Crossroads of Should and Must. My girl Katie sent it my way.
10. “Side Pieces” as performed by Drake at the 2014 ESPY Awards. He’s gutsy. Check out all those football players looking sheepish, (but kinda enjoying themselves, too).
