What are you going to do this week? We are visiting family in the UK and will be suspending posting until July 15th. We’ll still be updating Big Salad and Instagram if you want to check it out. Hope you had a good one, here are some links from around the web…
Here’s what we’re looking at during Banana Republic’s big semi-annual sale: This sweater feels like the talented Mr. Ripley, and how sexy is this strappy top for date night?

How My Adult Autism Diagnosis Feels: “At an event where hors d’oeuvres have passed, if I catch a friend asking just two questions of another guest during a conversation, I will do so explicitly, whether needed or not Personal curiosity or genuine rapport is one third.

In addition, there are comments from two readers:
“My aunt calls dogs that smell the neighbor’s scent ‘reading the news,'” Jenny said of your hopes for this summer. Since hearing the news, I’ve made sure to take my morning walks extra slowly.
Ellen on your hopes for this summer: “I came home from the community pool last weekend and was delighted to find that all I had eaten that day was watermelon, chips, and ice cream. Peak summer! This after a nine-year relationship The first summer single, my world has become small, so I’m having fun sultry AF? Is it time to go for a walk at 9pm? ! An afternoon without plans? Grabbed my kindle and towel and spent the day in the pool.
