I had off from work today, since Chris and I spent last night in AC for our 1-year anniversary. (Happy anniversary to the best guy in the whole wide world. I love you!)

(I hadn’t checked out Tumblr all day, or any news source for that matter, so we can thank my boyfriend for being an avid tweeter.)

What I just experienced was a Tumblr’s dream. At least, what I’d imagine one to be.
My company is putting together a holiday gift guide for 2011, and my team was responsible for calling in a wide array of products. We just spent the past hour and a half testing and discussing them. All I could think was, Tumblr! Tumblr! This boardroom was a Tumblr’s safe-haven, full of odds, ends and...

Kiernan Shipka, age 11, did a piece for Lucky Magazine about her favorite outfits. Here is an excerpt:

Sometimes all you need is an unexpected email from a great friend to put a smile on your face.
