// I love this excerpt from Minna Hong's essay on feminism.

// Have you seen the New Arrivals section over at Kintage?! So many amazing maxi dresses + the printed floral leggings are INSANE!

// Okay this is awesome... a Ladybug Q+A! Everything you'd want to know about ladybugs and more. With pictures!

// Wishlist Wears: Ask Me About My Cat tote bag // this dress is my all time favorite dress ever. AH! // this pastel rainbow riding jacket! // this "sassy comics" dress! // this perfect bernie dexter dress. swoon! // these black + white BAIT shoes! and in blue, too!) // this beautiful bib necklace 

// I opened my mailbox to find this awesome mint necklace and this white bib necklace all gorgeously wrapped up. I'm racking my brain trying to decide what to pair them with! Aren't they beautiful?!

// I'd be lying if I said Amanada's blog wasn't one of my all time favorites. She's so adorable!

// Karen is participating on Live Below The Line for 5 days in hopes to raise awareness for extreme poverty + raise funds for Unicef. She'll live on just  £1 of food per day for those 5 days. She just recently posted her third day and it's pretty unreal to imagine! I definitely suggest y'all check it out!

// "Honest" posts are my very favorite to read from bloggers. It's such a refreshing glimpse into what really goes on in their day to day lives. This post from Roxy was no different. This girl is an absolute gem. I really adore her!

// I cancelled my BirchBox subscription a couple of months ago, but I'm thinking about re-upping it again. Has it gotten any better over the last ~2 months?!

// I love this post from Amanda. The photos are gorgeous and she looks way more put together in the garden than I do. (Paint covered yoga pants over here! Holla!)

// I wanted to give the JewelMint giveaway a little more time to collect entries (it went live the day of the Boston bomber manhunt) -- CLICK HERE if you want to enter to win some fancy JewelMint jewelry!

// Kristina is so cute. The end.

// Calling All Honeybean Designers + LCH Sponsors!

I'm currently booking sponsorships for bloggers, indie businesses, and larger brands alike! If you're looking to get nearly half a million views on your advertisement, I'd love to help! I'm more than happy to chat about ways to ensure the best reach and reaction from my sweet and savvy readers. Regardless of whether you write about your life/what you wear, or you create the most mind blowing candy this side of the Mississippi, I'd jump at the chance to help you expand your brand awareness.

I'm also offering all past sponsors 10% any and all ad sizes and packages! Save 15% by booking 3 months at a time! Feel free to give me a shout and see if there's any way we can make magic happen! Email me at kaelahbee (at) gmail (dot) com! (The PRIME ad is reserved through the end of this month, but if you'd like to snag it for yourself come June, let me know! We're hoping loads of our Porter Flea friends will be making their way onto LCH starting June 1st and they love handmade/independent businesses!)

We've also made room for FIVE more Honeybean designers this year! The 2013 term will go from June 1st until December 31st and if you make pretty things, we want to stock them in our shop! We'd really love to expand our jewelry selection more than anything, but we're wide open for almost anything! (Unfortunately we are not accepting any greeting cards or photo prints at this time! Illustrators are still welcome to submit though!)

We've just solidified Honeybean's 2013 schedule starting with Porter Flea on June 1st so if you're looking to be carried in Honeybean, please don't delay in submitting your pieces! Just email us (honeybeanboutique (at) gmail (dot) com) and include pictures of your wares or a link to your online shop! We'd love to have these all in by Sunday so we can make our final decision by mid-week! (Psst! Honeybean designers also get an automatic 10% discount on LCH sponsorship slots, too!)

Thanks friends! Have a great day!
