Hump-busting lust list



Every Wednesday, I try to break out of my own midweek hump by discovering new and exciting things, cool sites or revisiting old favorites.  Why not share those with my readers?

Here is this week's "oooh" and "ahhh" worthy, hump-busting lust list:


1. I am completely obsessed with 6pm.com. They have shoes, accessories, clothes and FREE shipping on all orders! FREE!

I bought two pairs of boots from them this week.   I got these super cute Chinese Laundry riding boots for just $77 (elsewhere for $90-130 plus shipping!):




And I picked up these moto boots from Madden Girl for just $79.

They look black in the photo, but in person, they're an awesome steel grey color... I love them!




2.  Navy and Gold.  Swoon alert!  I'm seeing navy and gold combinations everywhere and I'm in love. 


It looks vaguely nautical, but the metallic makes everything look crisp and modern.  I can't get enough.





How about a navy kitchen with gold countertops? Beautiful, but I can't imagine they're functional.

It's even showing up on cake!

Once I get settled into my new house, I'm most definitely going to be explore with navy and gold.

Okay, on to the next...

3. You guys, I fondly remember going to summer camp when I was a kid.  It was such fun to meet new people, do fun things and go new places.  So why do kids have all the fun?


I went on the hunt and found this site, Grown Up Camps which features camps, retreats and get aways for adults.  ERHMERGERD!  There is an amazing list to choose from, from cooking camp in Tuscany, bull riding camp yoga retreats, special needs camps, you name it... they have it.  So pack your bags and go to camp!


4. Have some time to kill at work and need a laugh?  Check out the site dedicated to people who failed at their one and only job.  http://hadonejob.com/








5. Crock pot recipes...! 

Tis the season to be lazy. As the days get shorter, I get lazier and long for home cooking.  Plus, there is nothing better than coming home to a house that smells like a yummy dinner. I love this site for tons of recipes: http://crockpotladies.com/.    (If you have any recipes to share let me know in the comments!)


6. The Grommet (formerly The Daily Grommet). 

I stumbled on this site by accident and have been fascinated ever since. The Grommet helps innovative people launch cool new products. You can sign up for their daily email if you like and get a daily dose of inspiration and innovation!


7.  Kate McKinnon. 

Unbelievably funny breakout star of SNL who joined the cast in 2012. You guys, she's the real deal.  I know that we would be lady-bros if we met... and I have a total girl crush happening.   There are so many reasons to love her, but I particularly love this BuzzFeed rundown.


There you have it.  My favorite things this week.
