The weekend is here!

Happy weekend, my darling readers! What do you have planned? I'm super excited (and scared) to report that I'm finally watching Rosemary's Baby. Have you seen it? It's playing at the Film Forum, and Matt and I are going to see it with friends. They've all seen it of course—I'm the only one who hasn't. Yikes! Wishing you a wonderful—and relaxing—weekend ahead. Here, to get it started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

Mix and match popsicles.

Colorful shades

What color sunglasses do you wear in the summer? I've always opted for a classic pair of black, over-sized frames, but lately, I've been tempted by a more retro look. For example, these blue sunglasses from Madewell, or this pair of white frames from Lookmatic. It just seems like a fun, easy way to mix things up when the heat is on.

How about you? Would you buy a pair of sunglasses like these?

Diana, the movie

Have you watched the trailer for the new movie about Princess Di? I have slightly mixed feelings about turning her story into a film, but Naomi Watts is so talented and graceful—she seems to perfectly capture the title role. You can watch the full trailer here (the film isn't due in theaters until September) and check out more images of the striking resemblance here.

Do you think you'll watch this film? I'd love to know what you think!

Midsummer Night Swing

Do you like to dance? If yes, it seems that Midsummer Night Swing is your perfect date with New York. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the event, which kicks off tonight outside Lincoln Center and goes through July 13. Every evening, a different band performs under stars. Take a one-hour dance lesson from a trained instructor, then be ready to cut loose on the dance floor.

Swing, tango—you name it, they'll be teaching it. If you ask me, I think disco night (with plenty of Donna Summer tunes) sounds the best. After 10 o'clock, the city's noise ordinance kicks in, but on this occasion, the party doesn't stop. For an extra $5, you'll get a pair of headphones where the music is broadcast directly to your ears until 11:30. A silent dance party on the streets of New York? Totally cool.

A full calendar is available here. Do you think you'll check this out?

Brooklyn update

It's been almost six months since I moved to Brooklyn (time flies, right?) and I have to admit: I'm mildly obsessed with my new 'hood. Case in point, Brooklyn Bridge Park. Matt and I have started our own ritual of sorts. Every Sunday evening, we take a stroll down to Brooklyn Bridge Park. There's something so peaceful and breathtaking about looking across the water at Manhattan. The city and it's busy-ness is right across the bridge, but somehow it feels a million miles away.  :)

This past weekend, we hit the park on Saturday with friends, and reserved our evening stroll for tonight—Matt's birthday!

Do you have a favorite neighborhood routine?

More Brooklyn Bridge Park here, here and here.

The weekend is here!

Happy weekend, my darling readers! What do you have planned for the next couple of days? It's Matt's birthday on Monday so we're celebrating early with a fancy dinner out. :) Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

Red shoes

I'm all for red (or pink!) lips, but lately I've been contemplating a new pair of red shoes. What do you think? Paired with black pants and a striped shirt, this look is so classic...and French. I can't decide between a cute pair of flats or these pumps. 

What do you think? Would you invest in red?
