Link Likes: A beauty interview, a fashion line, two blogs and a recipe

First, an interview with the fabulous Tracee Ellis Ross.  She is the celebrity with whom I have the most physical traits in common, so it was great to see this interview. The product that I most want to try is Bumble + Bumble Quenching Complex.

 The Stolen Girlfriends Club was featured on Fly Girls, and I am in total lust with this T-Shirt dress below.  The more vibrant prints that Andrea featured are to die for also.

If I remember correctly, a commenter on Jezebel linked to this next blog.  Esme and the Laneway features enviable vintage style and great photographs:

I am looking for home decorating inspirations and stumbled on this post of vintage vanities and dressing rooms.  It is amazing to see how important perfumes and a handheld mirror were to a glamorous woman's arsenal! (warning: this site plays music automatically)

And finally, I went to Whole Foods the other night hoping to find  Valrhona cocoa powder, but I had no such luck.  I ended up with Ghiardelli, which is still great of course.  I also had to think about how to properly sweeten the bitter cocoa powder and remembered that Angelina's hot chocolate was dark, sweet, and perfect.  Here is a recipe:
