I stayed out way past my bed time last night (which could give just about anyone over the age of 85 a run for their money) after scoring last minute tickets to the Chiefs game from work. Despite the loss, Pete and I had a great time and it felt indulgent to start the weekend a little early.

I’ve got a lot to share with you this week, so dive right on in!

AROUND THE WEB/WORLD

• Amy and I enjoyed some Girl Talk and she’s letting you in on our conversation!
• My girl Maya is heading to Portugal today and I imagine you won’t want to miss the Insta snaps she’s going to be serving up.
• A fail-proof drink recipe to whip up this weekend. If you’re looking to go out, I’ve taste tested Ça Va‘s French 75 and give it two thumbs up!
• What do you think of the new Snapchat update?
• No plans? Here’s your weekend guide to Kansas City.
• Must-have tools for small business owners. These Get Shit Done notepads are great, too!
• It’s a little early to say we’re having an Indian summer, but I’m prepared to wear this laid back look until things decide to cool down.

SHOP ‘TIL YA DROP:

• Seeing double: This Chloé bag look-alike won’t do nearly as much damage to your bank account as the real deal.
• It’s time to restock my go-to foundation primer. Seriously, this stuff lasts forever.
• Everyone raves about the Simplified Planner and I firmly believe it’s never too soon to start planning – can you believe we’re over halfway through September?! What do you use?
• Take 25% off your purchase at J. Crew with code SHOPNOW (I added this gingham goodness to my closet)
• I’m loving these mesh panel compression pants.
• As you know, I’m all about ease. If you haven’t added this dry texturizing spray to your morning routine yet, what are you waiting for? (my favorite dry shampoo is a must as well)

We’re heading to happy hour with friends this evening and Shanley is taking me on a date to my first Room 39 experience on Sunday! Sprinkle in a few runs/walks around the neighborhood followed by lots of couch time and I’d say that’s a pretty solid weekend in the making. What’s on deck for you?

Have a happy weekend, friends! As usual, I’ll be over on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat (jessicazimlich) and Facebook.
