Amazon Constructs A Greenhouse HQ
It’s no secret that Amazon is slowly taking over South Lake Union. With the company rapidly growing, Amazon is hard at work in constructing their new buildings and setting the foundation for their headquarters. GOOD Inc. got ahold of these renderings today that depict Amazon’s new developments as a Greenhouse. This isn’t so surprising since the city of Seattle is very much a “green” city.

Sunday Routine

Nothing excites me more than when I have the opportunity to stumble upon a new and refreshing blog. Our former Yow Yow! interviewee Molly Young was recently featured on Sunday Routine – a blog that gives us a peek into the Sunday routine of New Yorkers – and of course we had to feature it.
Check out her post here.

We’re The Millers
Every time I see Jennifer Aniston in a movie, I’m usually 50/50. However, I am excited that Emma Roberts is playing a homeless teen in this new film.
Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts, Will Poulter, Kathryn Hahn, Nick Offerman, and Ed Helms. Sudeikis plays a pot dealer who hires a stripper (Aniston), a homeless teenager (Roberts), and his geeky neighbor (Poulter) to pose as his family in order to smuggle a large amount of weed across the Mexican border. We’re The Millers, directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story), opens in US theatres on August 9.
This redband trailer is NSFW – also the last part of this trailer just MAKES it.

Warby Parker x Man Of Steel
Warby Parker introduced a new capsule collection today inspired by the new film, “Man of Steel” out in theaters June 14. I typically love my black Warby Parker frames and any kind of black frame for that matter, but that pop of blue has me intrigued! Both Percey and Chamberlain are available for men and women.

Recent College Grads Equipped With Advice
I noticed a slight trend today of articles posted on LinkedIn and all of them had to do with advice recent grads should take. Now in my last post, I discussed that advice should not always be taken in at once. For one, it’s too much information. Two, it’s not always applicable, but it will be when the “timing is right.” I can’t even begin to tell you how much I hate saying that last part and how much it has been said to me in the last few months, but in this moment right now, nothing seemed more fitting.
Whether it was a trend on LinkedIn or the fact that my talk is coming up and I am trying to solidify my material, every article I read today on this subject was beneficial. I wish that I had this advice when I came out of college. Would I have taken it as seriously? Probably not. That’s the problem that my professor who’s class I am speaking to posed to me as a problem. Even though I would have this advice to give to these students, they may not see the value because they haven’t had the year of working experience that I have just had. Regardless, I do hope that my advice will spark something – a change, an opinion, or inspiration.
Here are the articles and posts that I read today:
- “Why 30 Is Not The New 20“. – A TED talk by Dr. Meg Jay. (Thanks Toby!)
- Three Rules For Every Graduate To Remember…Welcome to the Blooper Reel by Warby Parker’s Neil Blumenthal
- “What Successful People Aren’t Telling You” by Fortune Magazine’s Sr. Editor at Large Adam Lashinsky
- Richard Branson’s take on “education” in his guest post.
- And… what happens when you finally DO land a job post grad by Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff

Is there anything Target hasn’t achieved? Capsule collections, collaborations with high-end designers and awesome slushies – all things that have won me over. Now they’ve tugged at another heart string with an in-house bridal collection. Brides-to-be can now shop the four gown collection online at Target.com for some pretty affordable prices ranging from $69.99 to $129.99. Steal, amirite?! Gowns come in sides 2 to 28 and while they are fairly simple, there are many brides looking for just that.
Check out the offerings here.
