Friday Five

1. I am literally obsessed, crazy, head over heels in love with Miley Cyrus' new song "We Can't Stop."

2. Also obsessed with these printed chino shorts from J.Crew!


The print totally reminds me of The Great Gatsby poster.


3. I saw The Purge the other night. The concept of a night where all crime is legal keeping society in check intrigued me in a somewhat weird, twisted way, so I got my boyfriend to take me. I do not do scary movies. I'm awful at them. I'm a baby. But this wasn't that bad, even though it was a bit cheesy and did creep me out.

4. The night after The Purge, I saw The Internship, which I really enjoyed! The storyline was so adorable, I was laughing out loud the whole time, and Owen Wilson is such a charmer.


5. I just finished my second book of the summer, Bossypants by Tina Fey.


She is truly hilarious and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one.

What I Read: Nice Is Just A Place In France

Who reads Betches Love This? It's a total guilty pleasure of mine. I follow them on Twitter and I'm always checking the website for new posts. I think I've read every post on The Betch List at least twice, and I crack up every time. So relatable. Like White Girl Problems taken to the absolute extreme. Is it bad that as I read, I find myself nodding and going "Yes, this is my life!"

So of course when I saw that The Betches were releasing a book, I was all over it. I drove to three different bookstores (two Barnes and Nobles and one local book shop) last Saturday–as in, the first day of my spring break–in pursuit. Sold out. I ordered it, lamented the fact that it wouldn't get to my house until Friday, and thought about how hard my life was.

And for those of y'all who were wondering, no I did not set up that background, thankyouverymuch. I can't help it that sometimes my desk looks fabulous ;)

Turns out, the book being delivered on Friday made no difference. I finished it Sunday morning. All three hundred plus pages in all its sarcastic, betchy glory. I laughed the entire time, and I even annotated! Well not really, I just underlined the sentences that particularly stuck out to me, but still. Do you even know how heinous annotating is? Super heinous and on the top of my academic WYDEL (Betch for "Wish You Didn't Exist List").

I highly recommend this to all of y'all for a light, fun read. It's described as "how to deal with your problems when you have no problems." Perfect, no? Some of it's a little out of my comfort zone, but it was super entertaining nonetheless.

My little copy is now being passed around to all my besties. Order yours here.

Seriously, you won't regret it.
