Links Loved <3

It’s been awhile since I’ve rounded up some of my favourite articles from around the web so I thought I’d share some of the links that have caught my eye over the last couple weeks.
Without further ado, here they are:
Man Repeller: 11 Women with their shit together
Save this article when you’re having a day full of doubts, a day where you need a confidence boost, and most importantly a day when you want to know that everything will be okay. I LOVED the frankness in this article, how forthcoming the women were in telling their story, and how bare and authentic each of their stories seem to be. A great great read.
What Your Personality Type Means for Your Career
I’ve taken some form of the Myers-Briggs test a bazillion times and each time I usually come up with the same one or two different combinations. What makes this chart different is that instead of just telling you your personality traits, it shows how you relate to the rest of the US population and how your personality traits might transfer into your salary. (Basically, this chart proves what I already knew - i think a lot differently than the US population - rationalists FTW!)
I couldn't have found this website at a more perfect time, it’s perfect for vacation season. Bookseer has you input the last book you read (and liked) and based on your book, recommends new books for you to try. You never know, you just might find your next juicy beach read here.
The One Thing I Can’t Stand About Rory Gilmore
Count me in as one of the Gilmore gang who’s counting down to the new Netflix series. OMG, I can’t wait to go back to Stars Hollow. But until then, this article about Rory, specifically her relationship and conflict with wealth, is a great read. Even though I loved Logan in the series, Matt Czuchry is so darn adorable, Logan really did change Rory and the values Lorelei instilled in her for the worse. This is a great read about Lorelei’s values and will only whet your appetite for when Seasons debuts on Netflix.
This website is just pure, adorable fun. We used to joke when I worked for the hockey team that the easiest posts to get the most engagement were players with puppies or babies and this site takes that to a whole new level. If you love adorable pictures of puppies with quasi-adorable pics of their human hockey players, this site is for you. Just remember, most of them are early twenties - such babies!
The World’s Best Dressed Street Style Stars According to Photographers
The world of street style is fascinating, from the clothes to the crowds to the poses and to social media, and between the photos and the hashtags it might be more influential than designers and their shows in fashion today. What I love best about this article is that it’s the photographers choosing their favorite street style stars, street stylers known more for their actual style than their ranking on the celebrity famous list.
Career Code: How Emily Weiss Turned a Brand Into a Beauty Movement
If you’ve seen my Instagram or even read things here on my site, you know I’m obsessed with everything Glossier. Their products are easy, simple and fabulous, but what I love most about them is how transparent they are with their creations and their staff. I loved this interview with Emily Weiss, Glossier’s Founder and CEO, not only for insights into how she stays up to date with the beauty industry, but also for the approach the company takes when hiring. Great great stuff.
