Happy Monday, everyone! I wore this look one day last week… I love, love, love chunky knits, especially when they’re all worn together. I also love the neutral color palette in this look, and the pop of blue with the ripped denim. On a side note, a lot of you guys have asked about this Louis Vuitton bag! They just came out with it – would you be interested in a blog post reviewing it? (What can fit inside, etc.) I’ve had a couple of requests for this type of post but wanted to make sure the majority of y’all would like it!

On another note, I thought it would be fun to share my top five favorite podcasts today. I’m pretty much a podcast-addict. Almost every time I’m in my car, I’m guaranteed to be listening to a podcast – and especially on long car rides. They make the time pass by so quickly, they’re entertaining, they can set your day on a positive note and can teach you so much.

1. Up and Vanished – I have talked about this one before. If you like true crime or if you were a fan of Serial, then you will LOVE this one! It’s about the investigation of Tara Grinstead’s disappearance… what’s so cool about it is that the investigation is happening in real-time and new evidence and clues are revealed in every episode. My friends and I have a group chat about it – it is ADDICTING.

2. Stuff You Should Know – This one is educational, but SO entertaining. In each episode of “Stuff You Should Know,” the two hosts, Chuck and Josh, tackle a difficult topic and explain it in a way that the average person can understand. Not only are they extremely intelligent but they have great personalities – it’s like listening to a couple of your friends! My favorite episodes include “How Public Relations Works” and “How Freak Shows Work” – trust me, they’re amazing.

3. Joyce Meyer – Joyce Meyer is my favorite Christian speaker. She has her own TV show and is the author of several books (which are great), so you may have heard of her before! I love her podcasts in particular because they’re an amazing way to start out your day. The episode are pretty quick – 20 to 30 minutes – so you an easily listen to them on your drive into work or to the gym in the morning. I’ve found that my whole day is better when I listen to her podcasts in the morning. They’re also really good to listen to if you’re having a bad day or struggling with something in particular – God really speaks through her.

4. Tracks to Relax – This one is not one you’d want to listen to in the car! It’s specifically made for helping you fall asleep at night, haha. I sometimes have trouble falling asleep if I’m stressed out or have too much going on, so I’ll put on an episode of Tracks to Relax and it really helps! It’s guided mediation with relaxing music in the background (like the kind you hear when you get a massage).

5. Tell Me Something I Don’t Know – I just started listening to this one – it’s actually a gameshow that’s recorded and produced as a podcast. The thing that’s really neat about this show is that instead of quizzing contestants, it’s the other way around – the contestants are invited to share an interesting piece of knowledge with the audience and are judged on it. I’ve learned the COOLEST stuff from this podcast, it’s journalism that’s disguised in the most entertaining and unexpected way.

Your turn – Tell me your favorite podcasts!

I've been wanting to get into them but it's super overwhelming when you don't know which ones are good – there are SO many!

  11. I love podcasts, so thanks for the recs! You'd probably like Sword & Scale. It takes a look into past crime stories. Betch Slapped is good for funny post-Bachelor type comedy, and Young House Love Has A Podcast is my favorite for interior decorating.

  17. Loved this post!! I have been searching for some good podcasts (I am new to podcasts) and didn't really know where to begin looking. Can't wait to check these out (especially the Joyce Meyer and The Stuff You Should know! I am very interested in reading a review on your LV crossbody! I have seen a few other bloggers wearing that bag and am considering buying but would love to hear a review first. Love how much you are switching up your blog posts lately and adding different content…keeping your readers on our toes! I love your style and read daily! Keep up the good work! -Christine

  19. Great list! I've heard 3 of these, but I'll have to check out the new (to me) ones!

    Have you heard "How I Built This" podcast? It's hosted by Guy Roz on NPR, and it's about startup companies that took off, like Warby Parker, Drybar, and Instagram. So fascinating!!!

  36. I've been addicted to Up and Vanished since you originally posted about it on here! I'm a fan of Gimlet Media podcasts – particularly StartUp. They just finished season 4 which follows Dov Charney, former CEO of American Apparel. I personally recommend season 1 of StartUp though. It's all about the highs and lows of being an entrepreneur!

  43. I just got hooked on podcasts last september and went through the entire archive of The Moth within a couple of weeks because I can't stop listening. I would be stuck in rush hour traffic in my car for hours in Miami and not even mind because of that podcast. I love it and I really think if everyone listened to a few of these stories we would have a more compassionate world. Definitely recommend!!
