Where's a hair elastic when you need one? :) I love these shots of Kate and William taken this week on the balcony of Cambridge Guildhall in Cambridgeshire, England. Even with the wind blowing her hair in her face, Kate still looks absolutely stunning (what a gorgeous Max Mara coat!). Take a peek at the rest of the photos here.
PS—What do you think of Kate's new bangs? So cute!

Do you practice yoga? I have been trying to fit in more classes when I can. For my birthday, I received a wonderful gift: a pass to Malo Yoga in Brooklyn. I took my first 90-minute class there right before Thanksgiving, and loved it. I'm amazed how even in a city like New York, it's possible to shut the windows of a small studio, and with that shut out the noise (and stress!) of a busy day.
What do you do to center yourself when you feel overwhelmed?

A couple of months ago, I discovered this gorgeous photograph of Paris at the Affordable Art Fair in New York. Ever since, I can't get it out of my head! The image was shot by photographer Irene Suchocki as part of her Rooftop Soliloquy series. It's stunning, right? I'm considering buying it as an early Christmas splurge—just looking at it instantly takes me back to my trip and reminds me at a glance of how wonderfully moody and beautiful Paris can be. :)
Do you have a piece of art in your home that you love? What inspired you to buy it?

Up until two weeks ago, I'd only seen one James Bond film—a Pierce Brosnan one. In my opinion, it was a good one, but according to Matt, it didn't count. :) He said that I needed to watch Sean Connery and establish my opinion on Bond from there. So, we chose a night, cooked dinner, and rented From Russia With Love. I was hooked! After seeing it, I knew what was coming next: Skyfall starring Daniel Craig. Matt and I made it another date night: First the movie, then hot cocoa from The Chocolate Room in Brooklyn. I adored Daniel Craig as Bond—he is so fun to watch!
Who's your favorite James Bond? Are you a big fan of these films?

Happy day before Thanksgiving, my darling readers! What are you doing to celebrate this holiday? I hope you are savoring good food, good company and friends. I'm Massachusetts-bound, and can't wait to relax, and enjoy a bit of time at home. Here, to get your long weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:
A thoughtful gift.
Ta da!
Pie slices, to go.
My newest book (more Nora Ephron love).
Broccoli soup—how yummy!
The most adorable advent calendar.
Sick day essentials. (It is cold season, after all.)
A pretty red dress (and a red coat!).
Someone else getting into the holiday spirit. (My thoughts here.)
Home for the holidays.

Two weeks ago, I was the lucky recipient of the most delicious gift: a meal — delivered to my office door — by Farmers Market Fix. Founded by Cathy, this delightful service aims to bring fresh and local food to all New Yorkers looking to get (wait for it) their farmers market fix. Sign up for the weekly newsletter, choose from one of Cathy's mouth-watering recipes, and enjoy the fun when all the ingredients (and spices!) get delivered to your office door the day you plan to cook. Matt and I tried the Grass-fed Steak with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Smashed Potatoes. We were so pleased with our choice! And to walk in the door after a long day with all the ingredients in hand was a treat. And such a fun date night, too!
