The weekend is here!

Happy weekend, my darling readers! What do you have planned? I'm excited to say that I'm Boston-bound to co-host a baby shower for my best friend, who's also a super stylish mama-to-be. :) A few details about the party: We used Tiny Prints to create the shower invite, and this delicious cupcake recipe from One Girl Cookies for a sweet treat. Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead. Here, a few happy posts from around the web, to get it started right:

A gratitude calendar.

Little Lincecum.

Holiday card to consider.

Say 'I do' to this dress.

Weekend lunch date

 

New Yorkers, save the date: There are only two weekends left this season to check out Smorgasburg, the outdoor flea market in Brooklyn that's dedicated entirely to food. Matt and I ventured over this past Sunday, and what a treat! I've been to the Williamsburg location (open on Saturdays), but this was my first time to the DUMBO waterfront. The views of the Brooklyn Bridge combined with amazing food and a sunny day? There's no better way to wrap up a weekend. :)

In case you are wondering, the pizza above is from Pizzamoto (made in a mobile woodfired over!); the salad is from Brooklyn Grange.

A whimsical sweater

A peek at my latest shopping splurge: The Frenchie Sweater from J.Crew. I keep seeing these adorable animal sweaters all over New York—it's a look that is cute enough to dress up, but cozy enough to dress down, don't you think? I especially love how Eileen over at Miss Whoever You Are wears it. The pop of yellow makes it such a fun look for fall!

Would you wear an animal sweater? More choices here and here.

Pretty paper

I've blogged about wallpaper before, but I recently discovered this gorgeous Manhattan print over at Bodie and Fou, and I had to bring it up again. The design is so interesting—on the website, I couldn't help but zoom in to see and every city scene up close. 

I also love this Paris paper, too. And this super cute penguin design.

What do you think? Would you hang wallpaper like this?

The weekend is here!

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.

November Page: A toast!

 

Happy November, my darling readers! What do you love most about this particular month? I love how the chill in the air makes being inside feel all the more cozy; how the city begins to unveil it's holiday decorations and deck the streets with glittering, white lights; and how there's that many more festive opportunities to gather together with family and friends. Other things that are great about November? Warm apple pie, hot tea, and a new winter coat. :)

Now, you go: Your favorite part about November. I'd love to know!
