1) The Muse offers “9 Things All Successful People Know About Achieving Their Goals.”
2) I am loving this $20, berry-colored crossbody from Old Navy as a light for purse summer travel.
3) The German men’s soccer team was paid $35 million for winning the World Cup. Guess what FIFA will pay the American women for achieving the same feat? Hint: It’s a LOT less than you think.
4) Been searching for a pair of olive-green pants for weeks, and Banana Republic has delivered.
5) I loved John Oliver’s takedown of publicly funded stadium projects (video). #makeempaytheirownway
6) As a lover of all things Glacier National Park, I definitely need this Pendleton striped beach towel…and this canvas tote.
7) Target is bringing in plus-size bloggers to consult on its newest fashion lines. It’s nice to see retailers trying to improve their offerings to women in the plus-size market.
8) If you had told me 20-years ago that the Olsen twins would one day design dresses this gorgeous, I would have thought you were nuts.

I bought the Elizabeth and James “Bardot” dress a couple years ago during a sale, and didn’t even know who was behind that line until months later, after it had become one of my favorite summer event dresses. The twins and their design team have a really good eye for what fits and flatters a woman’s body, and not just the size 0 runway model frames.
