Holy sh*t, you guys. This week was rough. Even though we had a four day week, work kicked my ass. I’m so glad it’s Friday and I couldn’t be more excited for this weekend! I’ll be attending the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic tomorrow with some girlfriends. Get ready for all of the cute polo players to be taking over instagram. And without further ado, here are my favorite links from around the web this week! Xo. Lauren
