Have a magical weekend.

My dears, what are you doing this weekend? I'm heading up to Seattle to visit my long-lost college friend Penny. It will be my first time in Washington state, and I'm so excited. In the meantime, here are a few great posts from around the web this week...

Cute summer look.

Vintage underwater photography.

Ahh, the office. (Via For Me, For You)

Emma Watson looks pretty in Teen Vogue.

Go Oprah, go Oprah...

For his grad project, Alex Cornell imagined a Wes Anderson Film Festival--and then produced the identity, promotional materials and even a trailer. Brilliant! (Via Milk Tooth Rain)

BMXs!

Balloons for breakfast.

Yet another rad stash.

Bedroom swoon.

Wow. Nice shot, Mr. Sartorialist.

My first-date advice for a dude.

Yay! Chelsea started a Portland street-style blog.

Aphrodite and Adonis.

Illustrated missed connections.

Plus, shopping news:

Our favorite Portland boutique Frances May is having a summer sale.

Male New Yorkers, get thee to this pop-up men's shop.

And, randomly, I bought this American Apparel parka in navy blue and am obsessed with it. It's cute, lightweight and waterproof. Perfect for a rainy summer. I wanted to highly recommend for anyone who needs a rain jacket!

  38. I like the looks on the faces of those children in that picture. Really expressive. Don't you just love really expressive faces. (Sounds weird to put it that way, I think, but you know what I mean) Always just makes you wonder...what were they thinking just then? What were they looking at? What was on their minds? Its like they're off somewhere else, lost in some thought, captivated by something. If only you knew what. Mysterious and beautiful, I think. I know, something so simple, and I come up with this long post. Oh, and also, thank you for wishing us a well weekend.

  39. Aw, those children are terrified but adorable! Hope you're having a good one, too. Love the Valet advice :)
