Have a wonderful weekend.

What are you up to this weekend? My dad is coming to visit for my birthday, and I can't wait to see him! In the meantime, here are some great posts from around the web this week...

Bonnie and Clyde have fabulous style...even as salt and pepper shakers.

Heehee. Remember this awesome mantra if you ever get cranky blog comments!

Sophia Coppola looks great on the cover of Paris Vogue.

Five cliff-top towns. (Via Double Takes)

A heart-themed baby shower.

Loving these vintage wares and pretty hairbands.

Yikes! I am too much of a wuss to ever go ice climbing.

This Indonesian photographer looks just like Obama. Also, Christian Bale looks like Kermit.

A rad Rosemary's Baby poster.

A peek into writer's rooms.

Stacy sweetly suggests these flower wedding dresses.

A nice butterfly mobile.

Following Domino's demise, Page Six Magazine fires everyone but the editor-in-chief and moves from a weekly to a quarterly.

But let's end on a happy note. Loving the newish blog All Stripes.

Have a lovely weekend!!! xoxo

Happy birthday, Lucy!

Happy birthday to my amazing sister Lucy, who turns 30 tomorrow two minutes after I do. Sending a kiss to San Francisco!

How comfortable are you in your job security?

We sent two cuties on a blind date. Here's what HE thought, and here's what SHE thought!

Blue Hill Stone Barns

I'm finishing my work early today because I have unusually exciting plans tonight! My good friend Jason is taking me to an early birthday dinner at Blue Hill Stone Barns. It's half an hour north of Manhattan, and the restaurant is part of a working farm. Hopefully we will see some cute goats and cows!

The restaurant has a changing menu, which features the best of their produce and meat every month. January's line up is: American paddlefish caviar, Arugula, Baby lamb, Brook trout, Brussels sprouts, Burdock root, Celery root, Chestnuts, Claytonia, Farm eggs, Firecracker, Focea lettuce. (I have no idea what Firecracker and Clytonia are, but I'm psyched to try them!)

Have a great night, my lovelies. xoxo Update: It was amazing. I did not eat the baby lamb.

This video shows nine-month-old Charles Edward playing in the living room for four hours, but it's sped up to two minutes. (Also, the adult interaction was edited out for cuteness sake.) Ooooh, so sweet, my head is going to explode!

Wedding Kisses

I've been thinking a lot about wedding kisses recently. Can you do a big kiss? Or should you keep it small and grandparent-friendly? Here are a few lovely wedding-kiss moments.
