The weekend is here!

Happy weekend, dear readers! How is it already the end of June? I'm off to Connecticut for wedding #2. I'm a bridesmaid in this one, which has been a lot of fun. The photo above is of my friends and I in the Meatpacking District for the bachelorette. Such a great New York City shot, don't you think? I will try to post photos from the wedding next week (sneak peek: I'm thinking of wearing this to the rehearsal dinner. What do you think?). I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend ahead. Here, to get it started right, a few happy posts from around the web: 

Hello, world.

Sweet wedding.

Love me some lobsters.

Geo ring.

My next read. (After this one.)

A stack of happiness. 

DC art.

For the sailor in all of us.

Go see this movie.

Be inspired.

Gotta dance!

Ever since second grade when I first saw Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor tap dance to Moses Supposes in Singin' in the Rain, I've been a sucker for this impressive art form. Based on this, you can only imagine my delight when, while reading in Washington Square Park over the weekend, a couple of exceptionally talented kids set up at the bench closest to me and decided to show off their skills. You have to watch the video all the way through to see just how good they are. It's moments like these that make me love New York even more!

In her (summer) shoes

Come summer, I dedicate a special slush fund to biweekly manicures and pedicures. After all, fashion this time of year is all about how you choose to decorate your hands and feet! Case in point: the snaps taken from Instagram above. Not only do I want her shoes, I want a list of the nail polish shades she perfectly pairs with each look.

Do you have a staple summer shoe? What about a signature polish? 

Remember Kate Middleton's summer shoe?

Retro day at the beach

Now that summer has officially arrived, I can't stop thinking about the beach! The images above capture the joy, the fun, and the carefree relaxation of being in the sun and sand. 

This weekend — en route to wedding #2 — I'll be driving through Mystic, Connecticut. I'm going to do everything I can to find a spare hour or two to stop and dip my toes in the ocean surf.

Do you have any beach vacations planned this summer? Even a day trip counts!

TV Page: New Girl

Is anyone else watching New Girl? I know, I know — the show's finale was many weeks ago, but thanks to Hulu Plus, I'm just diving into the first season now. The first couple of episodes had a wobbly start, but I'm now totally addicted. Zooey Deschanel and her supporting cast, including, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield and Lamorne Morris, are charming, and fun. Right now, it's actually one of the few shows that makes me laugh out loud.

What are your thoughts on the show? Are you planning to tune in for season two?

The weekend is here!

Happy weekend, dear readers! What do you have planned? It's Matt's birthday(!) and I have lots of surprises planned. But before all that, I'm hoping to catch Safety Not Guaranteed starring Aubrey Plaza from Parks and Recreation. Have you seen it? I know it's been out a few weeks already. I'm behind on movies, as you can see. Wishing each of you a wonderful weekend ahead. Here, to get it started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

In Mad Men withdrawal already. 

Be you.

A wish list for June.

Exploring the Guggenheim.

Just like Grace Kelly.

A bow in your hair.

Take your cue from this wedding.

Go nautical.

Let's move in.

Tips for a good wake up call.
