Happy Friday, dear readers! My biggest hope following this week? That everyone in the tri-state area made it safely through the storm. As the clean-up in Manhattan continues, I'm still amazed by the power of Sandy, and the destruction she left behind. On that note, I want to wish everyone a relaxing and restful weekend ahead. According to the forecast, at long last, the sun is supposed to shine. :) Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:
A sweet ditty.
Chalkboard house DIY.
A chocolate chip cookie party.
Such a lovely way to send your love.
Favorite sweaters.
The ballerina bun!
Pretty foliage.
A rustic (and beachy) wedding.
Manhattan without light.
Something sweet.

Whew, definitely an eventful couple of days in New York thanks to Hurricane Sandy. I hope everyone is safe after the devastation and destruction that this storm left behind. Luckily, I made it out okay—aside from heavy winds and minor flooding, the Upper East Side was left relatively unharmed. I continue to be impressed by New York City emergency services, and their unfaltering efforts to keep this city safe.
With that, I want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. It's a bittersweet day to celebrate, but a bright spot at the end of this terrible storm.

I'm in awe of this art installation in Bulgaria: 400 umbrellas strung up in the sky to help raise breast cancer awareness. Such a beautiful (hot pink) sight, all for such an important cause.
Speaking of umbrellas, looks like we might need one with Hurricane Sandy due to hit New York today. To everyone affected on the east coast, stay safe!
Also, a flashback to Hurricane Irene. :)
