Hi from Asheville! Have you ever been here? I hadn’t, and I think it’s my new favorite place. I absolutely love it and want to come back soon (I’ve already been telling my friend that I want to do a couples trip here!). Anyway, how has your week been? I was in New York and Connecticut for the first part of it, and I just love being in the northeast. Honestly, I miss it so much. I love my life in Houston, but I’d be lying if I said I’m not itching to move back at some point! I’ll be back home Saturday, and I’m looking forward to getting organized, back in my routine, and in my own bed. I hope you have a great weekend whatever you’re up to and enjoy my favorite links and finds from the week below! xo Julie

I don’t know the last time I was in a Forever 21 (well, until a few days ago), and I stumbled upon a denim jacket (I think it was under $30!!) that I’m basically obsessed with. I can’t find the exact one on the website, but they have some other good options. // Denim Jackets via Forever 21
I loathe flying so I don’t think this would be the job for me, but if you’re one that likes it, I urge you to apply. How cool!!? // This Company Will Pay You $10,000/Month to Travel the World and Stay in Luxury Homes via Thrillist

I was in a Saks Off 5th the other day, and they had a great Rag & Bone (my favorite!) section, so I checked online, and they also have some great things on their website. Worth checking out! // Rag & Bone at Off 5th
Have you been feeling the statement earring trend? I have! Even though I wear studs mostly, I’m in the market for some fun, statement earrings.
