Tuesday Things.
1. If you’re local, this Thursday I’ll be at Penguin Bookshop participating in their writer’s series for a talk on going from blog to book and doing Q and A and fun stuff. Pleeeease come hang out with me?
2. Craving this s’mores pavlova like no other. What I wouldn’t give.
3. Uh, why do I feel like summer is almost over when it just began two days ago? Is this an old person thing? A mom thing? A headcase thing?
4. I just made rosé ice cubes. Life = made.
5. Every summer I talk about finding the BEST pair of nude wedges. Have you found any yet this year? My go-to is usually Sam Edelman but I don’t love this year’s version. And I wear them OUT by the end of summer. Haaaalp me.
6. GUESS WHAT. My little garden is growing! My herbs are on fire and I actually have peppers! I’m blown away. I’m doing it. When we returned home from wedding weekend, everything was going caHrazy.
7. We finished Bloodline and GAH it was so, so good. We both loved it so much. Part of me wishes they would have kept it to one season but I also can’t wait for the next. Did you watch True Detective?! Thoughts? I need to watch it again because it confuses me. Not as confusing as last year though. Annnnd… Vince Vaughn is still the same person. Just serious.
8. Um, these things that all 90s teenage girls did in the summer? Not joking, I’ve been looking for the beach waves spray for years, praying it would be revived. I’ve never had a sea salt spray that worked as well. Also, how did I miss holiday skin (what??) and OMG yes to #11. Um and what the heck is #15? Just no.

YES! Beach waves was my life and I miss it so much. I look longingly for it everywhere and I need it back instantly. I’ve tried others but they don’t smell as good.
Rose ice cubes?! amazing
Cole Haan wedges – should be fairly comfortable since they’re cole haan, and they’re on mega sale!

I’m pretty sure that Buzzfeed post was written by a Brit, so I don’t think they made Holiday Skin here in the U.S. Same for #15, some British thing I guess.
Reading through the 90s one has me cringing! I can’t believe I did these things. Must destroy evidence so my future children never know.

Oh Bloodline…you made a week and a half of my life pure TURMOIL! Danny needs to GO…no..I feel bad for Danny…no.. I HATE Danny…no…wait, did that HAPPEN?
UGHHHH!
I think the John Frieda stuff is back, or never left??

The beach wave spray is back!!! I bought the shampoo and conditioner last week and I am so excited! (It says it’s new, but we are old and know the truth).
Omg that s’mores pavlova looks absurd. And that BuzzFeed article is (I think) hilariously British…a lot of those htings are spot on but I don’t think I’ve ever seen ice cream and jelly served anywhere…
I bought these wedges last week and I love them so much I got them in both nude and black. So comfortable and very cute. Bonus: They make me SO tall!! And they were cheap, which my bank account loves.

Bloodline got SOOOO GOOD there at the end. I think True Detective will be twisty and creepy, just like last season. And a little crazy Tim Riggins never hurt anybody :)
I was just telling my husband about the crocodile mile this weekend and he rolled his eyes at me!
Also I just bought this sea salt spray and it is GOOD: http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod5140025
I cam down here just to say Beach Waves is baaaaaaaack but I see a few other have beaten me too it :)
I may have ordered three bottles from Amazon…
An amazing tuesday things, as per usual, Jessica! And oooooh, I wish I could go to your talk at Penguin Bookshop! Too bad I, y’know, live on the opposite coast…
I already like True Detective much more than last season. Mostly because of Taylor Kitsch – though he’ll always be Tim Riggins; bust also why is Colin Ferrell’s character making me want to think it’s set in 1979? Regardless, I’m in. TIM RIGGINS!
Every year I get so anxious about our garden until things start going. Our basil is not doing so hot this year but our peppers and tomatoes look great.
That 90’s girl article brought back lots of memories!
You should check out the Stuart Weitzman nude wedges, I got a pair early this spring and I love love love them!!
Omg that s’mores pavlova looks amazing!! Totally wish I could come out to Penguin Bookshop and hang!

I own them and they’re a.mazing.
Target has a really cute pair of wedges- they have zippers up the front. Check them out!!
Oh dear – it’s not actually jelly with icecream, it’s Jello (which we call jelly in the UK).
Aaand then we call jelly… jam!
I can’t even remember if you do serve Jello with icecream in the States at all, but it’s like the classic little kids birthday party food here (which is probably the only time you would usually eat it tbh, seems a bit of a kid’s food to be appearing on a list about teenagers?)
perfect nude wedges…found! http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-totsi-peep-toe-espadrille-wedge-women/3883557?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Light+Beige&resultback=5080
They’re pretty comfortable, and go with everything!
My brother got me hooked on Bloodline. I was binge watching it during my lunchtime at work every day, lol! It was a nice slow burn and got really good at the end there. Curious to see where it will go with a second season though.
And I literally JUST started True Detective last night, from S1. Only watched 1 ep so far, but it’s interesting and I’ve heard it’s good so I’m sticking with it.
Gonna have to check out this 90’s teenage girls link, like NOW. :)
Hi Jessica,
I found these wedges. Very inexpensive and fairly comfortable.
ASOS|ASOS HERBIE Wedges at ASOS
So they aren’t quite nude (but the tan is beautiful) and they aren’t quite wedges (but the heel height and shape provides the same comfort). These are beautiful! You can wear them with everything and they are sooooo comfortable! I seriously have to hold myself back from wearing them EVERY day.

Okay, you just gave me a reason to start looking at shoes online…like I need a reason, lezbehonest…
I bought these shoes a few weeks ago and finally got to wear them today:
http://www.walkingonacloud.ca/13032-Clarks-Caslynn-Cheryl-Nude-68577.aspx I know it’s a Canadian website, but I’m sure you can get Clarks anywhere. I wore them for 10 hrs straight, and they were SO COMFY ALL DAY.
I tried these ones too: http://www.shoeme.ca/products/clarks-women-caslynn-shae-light-tan-nubuck but decided that I liked the look of the other ones better (although these were super comfy as well!!)
Just popped in to say hi! And that I made your latest white bean dip with grilled corn & tomatoes and it was awesome! Also, I read this and it reminded me of your photo this week — so trendy! : ) Hope you guys are having a great weekend. http://www.npr.org/2015/06/25/416516179/going-through-a-midlife-crisis-summerlong-is-no-escape
My most favoritest wedge I have ever bought. Ever. Ridiculously comfortable and you can wear them in multiple seasons!
