Have a fun summer weekend!

My lovely readers, what are you doing this weekend? My dad has been visiting this week, and we've taken Toby on neighborhood walks and to a delicious long lunch at Cafe Cluny. My dad has helped me realize how portable little babies are! Hope you have a wonderful, sunshine-y weekend, and here are some great posts from around the web...

A bike basket for minimalists.

This engagement session makes me want to give camping a second chance.

What a fab swimsuit from the 80's.

A quirky notepad.

Photo enthusiasts: A Teen Vogue editor gave camera straps a makeover!

Cheery mobiles.

Wouldn't you love to romp around in this romper this summer?

Thumbs up for these cute yellow business cards.

Plus, three Cup of Jo posts you may have missed:
* Piano stairs
* Dorky glasses
* Car, bus or bike?

  2. i love your blog! i'm kind of new to the blogging world and yours was one of the first i discovered! i just gave birth to my first child, hazel bee, 10 wks ago so we are trying to get out and about more but with the sun and heat, it's kind of hard. she has beautifully pale skin and i don't want her to get burned! i'm glad you are getting more comfortable with feeding in public! at least you can breastfeed! my milk never quite came in so i have to bottle feed... i hate doing it in public.. always feeling like people are judging me for NOT breastfeeding! i just want to tell them my damn milk never came in! :) but i don't! anyway, have a great weekend!

    I really like those camera straps! Have you seen these recycled camera straps made from seatbelts? We have a couple of them for our fancy cammies, and they're really fab.

  12. I'm spending my weekend trying to figure out how I can rise above wearing floral patterns. They're everywhere and I feel so unoriginal; I'm not sure if you agree. I have a resolution in my new posting! I think you'll like it! Have fun with the little one...adorable. -Valerie

  15. The camping engagement session is ADORABLE! You should reconsider camping, it can be a lot of fun. And now that you're a mama to a little boy, your girlieness is outnumbered in your house :) That means you have to start preparing for toads, slingshots, and rowdiness. A camping trip with your two boys would be so sweet.

    PS. My word verification was POONE.

  16. I love those engagement pics! Although it still doesn't make me want to go camping hehe

    The hubs and I will be staying cool indoors... I'll be catching up on work and he'll watch DVDs :)

    I love Cafe Cluny! My cousin took me there when I visited with my boyfriend in March. Unfortunately, I'm now back home in Australia and much farther away from NYC than I was when I was living in Boston! Toby is gorgeous!

  18. I don't like camping either! I am flying home back to my hubby after being away for two weeks. Happy day!

    It is all about designing details on our beach house here:)

  20. Oh yes, it's nice when you can get out with little ones! I (sort of)miss the days when my girl would fall asleep at a restaurant ;)
    ps - I always found a scarf, henley and nursing tank to be a winning combo! but harder when it's hot out...

  34. Yuck! I can't take those camera straps seriously! LOL!
    The jumper is cute except...the print pattern is a bit drab and the inseam needs to be longer. Can't have it riding up behind, like it is on the model.
    The business cards are great! Not stuffy like most, but not over the top at all.
    The basket...I like bike baskets, but the jury is still out on that one.
    Love the engagement photos. Especially the ones at the cabin!

  36. That notepad is simply awesome, I mean, who would have thought to turn ordinary pieces of writing paper into geometric lines. I wish they sold stuff like that at the stationery stores around town..

  37. This weekend I am ALONE WITH THE BABY in Oxford, while my husband skites off to Cambridge with all his friends to punt, swim and generally carouse in a Brideshead Revisted (Cambridge style) manner.

    That is completely okay with me. Baby is in a good humour, the weather is divine and I'm buying bronze Birkenstocks this afternoon.

  38. okay, i'm hungry now.

  44. So, as I said, I'm getting caught up on my blog reading and I'm just reading this post. I saw the link regarding you wanting to give camping a second chance. We love camping, but it's definitely a 'learned' skill to master if you will...to learn how to strike a balance between roughing it and 'fancying' it up a little bit. I don't normally ask other bloggers to read my blog, but if you have a chance, you should look at my recent post!! May influence your desire to give camping another try!! http://www.torriesessions.blogspot.com/
