Yay! This is the first post in a new series I am adding called Living Lately. Every Friday I will do a little post about the week and share things that inspired me, things I am currently enjoying, a review of that weeks posts, and a peak of what is to come.

I want Living Taylored to be a site that encourages and inspires people whether it be in big or little ways. So similar to Motivational Mondays, I want this new series to be a positive way to end the week.

Inspiration:

• This post on the College Prepster was so great. Maxie McCoy talks about having friends who help you grow. Not only is it so important to have friends who help you grow but we should all try to be a friend who supports and encourages others.

Reading:

• Still working on The Zookeeper’s Wife. Such a great read. Given the content though it can be tough to read too much at a time.

On the Web:

• Blog Feature: Today I am teaming up with Awesome on Occassion, Lovely You by Molly, One Swainky Couple, and Life of a Med School Wife. So happy to know these girls and share their blogs!
• Elizabeth & Butter recently launched her website where she is sharing all of her amazing recipes. I had been following Elisabeth on Instagram for a while and drooled over her creations daily. I am definitely going to be trying out these delicious looking Blueberry Crumb Bars!

Loving:

• Basket bags  have been all the rage this spring. I normally don’t jump on too many trends but I couldn’t resist this Rattan Clutch. I also love this crossbody.
• Bandanas: J Crew has the cutest prints and patterns right now like this Lemon print or Berry pattern. Such a fun addition to any spring or summer outfit
