Have a yummy weekend.

My darling readers, what are you doing this weekend? Alex and I having a few friends over for games and chili, made from our favorite recipe. I'm also secretly getting psyched for The Bachelorette, which premieres a week from Monday. (I know.) Have a wonderful weekend, my lovelies, and meanwhile, here are a few great posts from around the web...

Indoor swings.

Your own airplane suite? Little kids would love this.

Homemade Snickers bar.

Pretty whale mobile. (Thanks, Elizabeth)

Geometric goodness.

Wish list: Yellow sandals.

Gorgeous handkerchief save-the-date.

These chocolate letters would be perfect for typography nuts (or a dinner party surprise).

What a sweet Mother's day morning.

100% wildflower seed bombs grow anywhere.

A good argument for thick black eyeliner.

These are embroidered? Crikey.

The new Apartment Therapy book is sooo good.

Do cute sweatpants exist? Yes, they're called track pants.

On that note, I'm loving these J. Crew "easy pants."

Remember Gemma and Andy's wedding? Here's their awesome house.

I was honored to do a little interview for Let's Go Ride a Bike. xo

Attention, fashionistas: My friends are giving away these amazing shoes! Enter here.

Plus, five Cup of Jo posts you may have missed:
* American style inspiration.
* NYC rooftop houses.
* Cute families.
* Rain blanket.
* My parents were awesome.

  37. Hey Joanna,

    I love the bike interview – how cute do you look? Very, very cute.

    I used to love cycling in London, but here in Sydney I find it's too scary. Everyone is used to cars and they are not nice to cyclists. (And there are sooo many hills.) The majority of cyclists here are lycra clad warriors, which is scary in itself!

    I'd love to come to NY and take our bubbas for a bike ride one day! xx

    PS. I'm all over the home-made snickers bar too. Planning on making one this weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Thanks for your comment on my blog! Your weekend sounds perfect. And I LOOOVE those yellow sandals! If only they were a little bit cheaper! xx

    ReplyDelete
  39. Aw your bike interview is soooo sweet, I love the way other bikers were so gentlemanly to you, I was worried for you when I first saw that pic on your blog that people would be shoving you out of the way.. go you...

  41. Really enjoyed the interview. One question though, don't you get scared cycling on the road? Or are there lots of cycle routes. Unfortunately I'm to scared to cycle in London. Enjoy your weekend!

  42. Love the snickers bar recipe-bookmarked that!

    I have a fun weekend with book club with the girls, a surprise graduation party, and then I get to meet my friend's son who was born last night!

  44. After looking at all of your posts from around the web, I am now headed to J Crew to buy both the "track pants" and the "easy pants". I am such a sucker for comfortable chic!

  47. jill, yes, i was nervous biking around the city at first, but now i'm so used to it. you just have to be super alert and defensive when you ride on the streets. and darcie, congrats to your friend!!

  48. I am getting excited for Bachelorette too! Although I must admit I prefer the Bachelor. A bunch of catty crazy women put together makes way more interesting entertainment than a group of men! xxSAS

  64. Hmmm weekend, well I will eventually study for my last finals of my undergraduate years and my sister is coming over to have tea and give me a sweet back-rub (isn't she awesome?). Your blog gives me so much joy and just the right amount of distraction from doing schoolwork so that I feel like I've had a nice break and that I'm refreshed and ready to take on my scholarly duties. To show my gratitude and congratulatude (Shakespeare made up his own words and no one blinks an eye if I say "bedroom") for your wonderful soon-to-be-seen new member of the family, I present you with this adorable video form one of my daily visits, cute overload

  73. I loved your interview for Let's Go Ride A Bike. I've always wanted to become one of those people who bikes everywhere, but despite owning many different bikes over the years... I never liked them. I never felt a connection with my bike. I want to become a biker now that I have a fabulous new bike - my boyfriend lives in an old farmhouse his family has owned for over 100 years and he found this old bike in an old outbuilding. He fixed it up and completely rebuilt it, with much love, and gave it to me for my birthday (I'm a lucky one). I love the styling, the colour he chose, and it makes me feel so feminine and pretty when I ride it. Turns out it's from the 1940s!

    Thanks for the inspiration, from an experienced biker-girl to a new one!
