The weekend is so close I can taste it. And it tastes like a crisp glass of bubbly…
…on the patio at my new favorite French-inspired bistro, Le Fou Frog. I stopped by for a quick happy hour last night, but I’ll be back for the pommes frites!

If you’re looking for a few links to tide you over until that 5 o’clock whistle blows, you’ve come to the right place.

AROUND THE WEB/WORLD

• I’m excited to be a judge for the AOL Fall Beauty Awards! If you follow along on Snapchat (jessicazimlich) you’ve seen the loot I’ve been testing out – stay tuned for my reviews.
• CorePower Yoga is coming to Kansas City! I’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks/months, but I wanted to let you in on a free pop-up yoga class that will be taking place at the Plaza Art Fair this Sunday.
• Nicolette’s living room makeover is spectacular and once again, I find myself itching to move into a new space.
• The bar cart seen in the masterpiece above made it’s way into my home this week.
• Drooling over this chocolate cake recipe and chocolate frosting recipe. With Pete’s birthday next week, I have the perfect excuse to whip it up!
• On selfies and self-love: 9 things women who take selfies are tired of hearing. (I’ve actually only posted one selfie, ever, but it was an important reminder not to pass judgement on others who feel confident enough to do it all the time.)
• Closet staple for fall: a fringe bag.
• The prettiest pink pleats on Hallie.
• Discussing the ebb and flow of life.

What are your plans for the last weekend in September? We’re celebrating Pete’s birthday with friends at the Royals game tomorrow and I’m getting my rear in gear for fall!

Have a good one, friends! I’ll be over on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat (jessicazimlich) and Facebook sharing snaps and tidbits from the weekend.
