This weekend, we did a lot of walking (both after dinner on Friday and Saturday morning at the farmers' market) and hanging out on the couch finally finishing the most recent season of How I Met Your Mother and then immediately getting obsessed with Orange is the New Black. I now have just one box left to unpack and even though I felt a little homesick a couple of times on Sunday, this place is really starting to feel like home. But I swear to God, if I have to go to IKEA one more time, I'm going to scream. Even if that means hot dogs.

Let's talk about underwear. Right? Why not.

I ran on the cross country team of a small Catholic high school, and we were absolutely Not Allowed To Run in Sports Bras. There are a lot of things like that which took some time to get over (a full semester passed before I wore flip flops to class, and even longer to chew a piece of gum during a lecture), but the sports bra thing mostly remains. My best friend Emma and I, after graduating, would sometimes meet up to go for a run in the middle of the summer and discuss at length whether or not we should take our shirts off.

The point of this seemingly random story is to tell you that Hanes recently sent me some panties, the softest tee shirt ever, and several awesome bandini bras; and the bras are substantial enough that if I were going to run in just a sports bra today, it would totally be in one of these bad boys.

Hanes asked that I style my favorite pieces with other garments and accessories I love. While I love to dress up, sometimes over the weekend I just want to chill out in a comfy tee and a pair of my favorite jeans.

As you can see, my selections are a bit on the pink side, which leads me to Hanes' Undercover Color campaign. Pink and I are just having a moment right now! Luckily for me (and you), Hanes is unveiling a brighter, more colorful look this summer with panties, bras and tees in on-trend patterns and vibrant hues. 

In celebration of their fun and fresh fashions, Hanes is inviting women to join a candid conversation by revealing what color underwear they’re wearing right now, or their “Undercover Color”-- because a women’s “Undercover Color” is an important reflection of her personality and mood from day to day. Hanes is asking women everywhere to answer a simple question: “What #UndercoverColor are you wearing right now?" Hanes will then take the information they’ve collected from women across the country and publish color trends for a fun, fresh take on women’s fashion.

So, don't leave me hanging! What color underwear are you wearing right now?

Happy Friday! I have lots of links for you this weekend, so let's get right to it:

Books, TV, and Movies
Loved this piece on Laverne Cox and Orange Is The New Black. Are you watching it? I'm ready to start.
I read How I Live Now in a Literature for Young Adults class in undergrad and loved it. The film looks like it's going to be amazing (I love Saoirse Ronan), but I'm curious to see what they do with the whole sex-with-her-cousin thing.

Materialism
Fall makes me want to wear jeans and my favorite tees every day. I'm feeling the need to stock up at Everlane soon.
Currently on my wishlist: this bright jumpsuit, these little boots, and this fabulous watch.

Blogs
Melissa is such a sweetheart. I appreciated her post on not offending when offended.
A beautiful post by Dani.
Maddie is so fun, and she can whip up a mean cocktail. See here and here.
I'm dying over Robyn's kayaking adventure in Canada. I'm not that outdoorsy, but something about having to paddle your way to a magical little hideaway sounds, well, magical.

Wedding
Rob and I are taking engagement pictures at the end of September and I have been wondering what we're going to wear. Our photographer posted some tips on what to wear on her blog. Perfect timing, Ashley!
I would totally walk down the aisle to this song if the lyrics weren't so crazy. Think I can make it in forty seconds?
And while we're at it, if I lived in California, Joelle would so totally be my wedding planner.

Videos
The New Mumford & Sons Music Video Parodies Itself and It's Amazing. And I cried.
I'm loving this song so much, and the video is just as beautiful.
A Pep Talk from Kid President to You
She's a Legend covers Mad World. No big deal, that's just my brother's band.

Rob and I are hitting a rooftop happy hour this evening, and tomorrow I predict a night in with Pad Thai and a movie. There's still some unpacking to be done around here. What do you have planned this weekend?
