It's been a little while since we've had a good Friday distraction around these parts. So let's dive in...

1. The Pink Helmet Posse, aka three 6-year old girl skateboarders. Watch the video and see if it doesn't make you smile.

2. This journalist had her face Photoshopped in over 25 countries -- an interesting look at global beauty standards.

3. How to wear overalls. The right way!

4. Still searching for a swimsuit? Yeah, me too. Here are 25 tempting contenders. 

5. Wanderlust warning. This Instagram roundup has me itching to hit the road again (but what else is new?).

6. A Google employee's daughter wrote a note to her father's boss, asking for him to have time off for his birthday. And it worked. 

7. Remember that "Forever" wedding video that went viral a few years ago? Well this one takes the cake. Too bad the The Office isn't running anymore -- Dwight would have been awesome as the groom here.

8. I love the idea of a lace maxi dress worn with a scarf tied like this. 

9. Gimme, gimme, gimme.... (and they're on sale too!).

Let's kick things off, shall we?

1. 11 killer career tips from Sophia Amoruso. While reading this, I pretty much nodded my head to every last one.

2. What you need to know about the Nigerian kidnappings and how you can help. 

3. I'll be heading to London for my first time ever later this month. This cheat sheet guide to some of the best shopping there will be my best friend. 

4. Can we just talk about this outfit for a moment, please? The culottes, the oversized clutch, THOSE SHOES. 

5. Did you catch any of the Dior Cruise show earlier this week? 

6. NYC, this is just one more reason to love you. A Nutella bar? All I have to say is, why didn't I think of this??

7. My friend Katie just launched her full-service, style-centered parenting site, Mother. And it's beautiful. A little bit of everything for moms and non-moms alike.

8. It figures that after opining about flats yesterday, I stumbled upon these stunners and can't get them out of my head. #AddToCart

9. And well those shoes might be awfully lonely without this perfect off-the-shoulder LBD.

All I can say is -- TGIF! This week sure did a number on me so I'm looking forward to some serious R&R this weekend. Ironically enough though, whenever I say that (as my boyfriend is probably thinking to himself while reading this), I usually end up planning the heck out of the weekend. Case in point: if you asked me on Tuesday what I wanted to be doing this Saturday, I'd probably tell you: bike riding, hiking, making brunch, napping at the beach, and going on a road trip all before dinner and drinks. 

This weekend though, I'm going to make a very conscious effort to just relax. Of course, in the amount of time it took me to write that sentence, I already thought of five other things I wanted to jam into my little Saturday and Sunday. Ah, three day weekends, when will you become the norm?

1. My girl crush on Taylor Tomasi Hill knows no bounds. Especially after this feature she did with Zara. PS -- I'm not sure how I didn't realize this sooner, but apparently she's started her own floral business? #SignMeUp

2. A yoga retreat nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. Looks dreamy, no?

3. If you're in need of a pick me up right now, check out this kid belting "Drunk in Love." I dare you to NOT be in a good mood afterward. 

4. 6 drinks perfect for summer-time sipping.

5. What to scoop up from the Kate Moss X Topshop collection. I'm eyeing the silk pajama set. 

6. I love covers of men's songs sun by women. This version of "All Shook Up" is just too good.

7. Move over #Selfies. It's all about the #Shelfie now. 

8. All hail the bob! The 21 best bobs of all time. From Coco to Elizabeth Taylor.

9. A peek inside Grace Coddington's apartment.
