Worthy Reads Roundup: Missoni for Target sneak peek, Links à la Mode, and Summer Squash recipe

August 21, 2011
Hope you had a great week lovelies!

Here is what happened at Chic ‘n Cheap Living this week:
– Photo love: Vintage Romance
– LOTC: Missoni for Target sneak peek
– In my Closet: Chanel vintage camera bag
– Fun Finds: Cloud Chair
– FFF – $10 credit for signing up with RueLaLa
– Links à la Mode: August 18th (My feature: {Shopping}Guide for eBay

Here are worthy reads from blogger buddies and beyond:

– This simple recipe for pan-seared summer squash screams summer, but would likely be tasty all year round!

– If you have a large or extravagant engagement ring, you may be judged on it if you wear it to an interview!  Interesting how our jewelry can inadvertently help/hinder us

– I was instantly smitten with Plume designer Pamela Johnston’s Mexican sailor tunic, but also love that her outfit represents her history (as I sit here wearing a butterfly and skull silk DVF dress my brother originally bought for my mom and that I now wear)

– I remember reading “The Odyssey” many moons ago for English class.  Matt Gross attempts to recreate this journey (which even in modern times can be quite the journey!)

little luxury list

    That article about judging a woman by her ring at an interview made me furious! As if a man would ever be judged by his expensive watch, ring or any other article of clothing.

    well, that is true about the ring;; where I work ; I actally have to dress ‘commen’ and cannot wear my designer bags otherwise people give comments to me that I shouldn’t work there anymore because I have money enough !!! (when in real life I earn as muche as they do , it’s where you spent your money on that makes the difference !!

    have you seen my new post ?

    The squash dish looks too good!

    I have a sapphire engagement ring, which I wanted. I had someone comment once that my guy must’ve not had a lot of money since he couldn’t afford a diamond. It made me SO ANGRY. Who would judge someone because of that?

    Need to try that recipe before summer ends! Hope you had a good weekend 🙂

    I just read the engagement/large diamond ring article. That is absolutely absurd, if a man showed up at an interview with a Breitling or a Patek Philippe nobody would question if he needed that job. So we should just hide our jewelry during the interview process and then wear it once we secure the job but of course that is only after getting a raise…Gotta love corporate america!

    Damn damn damn, this Target for Missoni collection is going to slay me come September. DAMN!

    That engagement ring article is interesting. However I’d like to point out that far too many people think that all diamonds are conflict diamonds. Tiffany’s, for example, uses only NON-conflict diamonds. And yes, those exist… diamond mining is prevalent in India, too, and it really annoys me when people are so narrow-minded about it!
