:)  Can’t stop wearing this camo tank (it’s sold at Destination Maternity, but is really just a long, lightweight tank and totally works for the non-expecting, as well). (Follow along on Instagram @ramshackleglam.)

:) Great midi ring duo in chic black and white.

:)  You have to read this post about a dad’s reasoning for allowing his son to wear dresses. What an awesome father.

:)  Metallic tattoos sound like a nice way to celebrate midsummer.

:) Super-cute disposable goblets for summer entertaining.

:) Why does everyone feel so sorry for men accused of being predators?

:)  I have complicated feelings about name changes; I changed my last name to Kendrick’s when we got married, but often wish I hadn’t…mostly because I’m not exactly sure why I did. I think the answer is “because I wanted our children to have the same last name as both of us,” but I also would like them to have my name. And yet, for various reasons (none of which really make sense to me), this doesn’t feel like an option. And that doesn’t seem right. This article, about a couple’s decision to use the mother’s last name for their child and just how nuts it seemed to make everybody, is FASCINATING. “Language is never small. Language shapes how we view things before we even know we are viewing them. How we name something determines how we value it. If women’s last names are consistently absent from history, never passed down, then where is their—our—value?

:)  This story of a dog’s last day on earth is heartbreaking and beautiful and virtually guaranteed to bring you to tears.

:)  Nothing like a good old-school desk lamp.

:)  I was all ready to be skeptical of Colbie Caillat’s new video about beauty and acceptance and write it off as a marketing ploy…but it’s really lovely.

:)  These gold sunglasses are apparently “puma”-patterned. Looks like tortoiseshell to me, but whatever: they’re really cute, and I’ll take ’em.

:)  Every state in the U.S., ranked by its foodie offerings. Pretty excited about number one (what is this cultish ramen thing?! Somebody tell me, because I need to eat it).

:)  Obviously sharing this video with Kendrick so he can be prepared for the day that our daughter wants a topknot (because it will come).
