I don't read nearly the amount I should (and by 'read' I mean actual books...not fashion mags, gmail, texts, or random shit on the Internets). That being said, READ my 5 Faves this week!

one // "How to be Stylish"
This little anagram from an Australian style maven is cute, relevant, and true.
two // Our Bookclub Selection
It's actually my turn to select a book for bookclub (aka drinking club), and I am loving this book! The Cuckoo's Calling is a modern day mystery written by JK Rowling (though she published it under a pen name but those tricky Brits discovered her little secret). Click on image to buy, it's only $6 on Kindle.
three // 10 Things to Give Up in Exchange for Happiness

9. Give up anger.
10. Give up control.
four // Elizabeth Smart's Story
I followed Elizabeth Smart's story so closely and was literally brought to tears when I learned of her rescue. She's an inspiration for overcoming adversity. For some reason, I will always remember exactly where I was when I heard that young girl was alive and free (I was a newlywed managing inventory spreadsheets for Lois Hill in my Kirkland home office back in 2003).

five // Pay It Forward
This quick post from one of my favorite bloggers talks about how someone noticed her grumpy demeanor & with a simple compliment, changed her outlook for the day. So later did the same for another lady who was looking all sour, and it worked on her too. Try it.
