Have a magical weekend.

My lovely readers, what are you doing this weekend? My friends are sweetly throwing me a baby shower--a classic New York brunch with bagels and mimosas!--and our families are coming into town. I can't wait to see everyone. Also, the baby's crib arrived in a huge box today. Setting up the crib feels like one of those big life moments and kind of gives me goosebumps! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and in the meantime, here are a few great posts from around the web...

A 1980 love story.

A rad mirrored street performer.

LOVING these do-it-yourself painterly prints.

Accidentally matching sweaters with your dad? Awesome.

A Wild Things birthday party with the cutest invitations.

Gorgeous wedding cakes...

And doesn't this cake have beautiful icing?

Vintage rainbow dress.

Living in: On the Waterfront.

Unicycle bag.

Adorable chairs for nurseries.

Wouldn't you love to get a birthday-in-a-box in the mail?

Ban.do's beautiful new headbands.

Manhattan subway tape. (Thanks, Leni)

A raffle for Liam!

Swedish children's shop Polarn O. Pyret is offering 30% off until Tuesday. (I'm in love with this little girl's dress.)

And all pretty ladies, get 10% off anything at Eberjey with the code JoGirl for the next week. xo

Plus, five Cup of Jo posts you might have missed:
* Fabric portrait.
* Bookshelves as stories.
* Parisian street style.
* Backyard wedding.
* How genetics work.

Sounds like you have a most wonderful weekend planned! Take a ton of pictures, even when setting up the crib.

We just got rid of a bunch of our baby furniture, the stuff we first got with our first son and I was a little sad seeing it go. Those memories and feelings I had when we first used the changing table for example, came right back to me, such a special time!

Enjoy each minute of your shower and getting ready for your son.

Sounds like a lovely weekend. Hope you will share some pictures from the baby shower.

My weekend is all about studying and a coffee date with a sweet girlfriend of mine.

Mimosa baby shower?! Awwwesome. I recently went to a shower sans alcohol, and while the gathering was NOT about me or my constant need for cocktails, I was a bit bummed :/
