Have a fun weekend!
My darlings, what are your plans for the weekend? Alex, Toby and I are heading to California tonight! (It will be Toby's first plane ride, eeps! Wish us luck!) We'll be staying in L.A. for a few days, just the three of us. Then we're meeting Alex's family in Palm Springs, where his brother is getting married! They're having a Buddhist ceremony, which I'm excited to see. What are your plans for the holidays? Are you heading home or elsewhere? Have a wonderful weekend, and meanwhile, here are a few fun posts from around the web... xoxo
LOVE this vintage wool bag.
Salad + pizza = salad pizza. YUM.
No way! Patrick Dempsey was on the cover of a J. Crew catalog!
Beautiful tie-the-knot engagement ring.
How adorable that she wore her glasses.
Crikey. I will never, ever do this.
Winter street style.
Isn't this dress pretty? It looks like it's painted.
Cool business cards.
The Hovey sisters just went to Paris! Here are their fab photos.
Surprisingly touching.
Don't you secretly want to try this sip n' swirl straw yourself? :)
And for your last-minute holiday gifts...
The complete Cup-of-Jo Gift Guide from the past four years.
P.S. I've scheduled a few fun posts next week, so feel feel to check back if you're in a blog-reading mood. Have a great weekend. xoxo

That sounds so much fun. I bet you are looking forward to bit of sunshine, huh? Wish you a safe flights and amazing week in California. Btw: The Buddhist ceremony sound so cool. Hope you will post about. I would love to know how it went! Take care:)
A splendid list! Have fun in Cali... I miss it so much! Leave a bit of love there for me!

I love that screen shot from The Royal Tenenbaums :) What a wonderful list you've compiled. I wish you safe travels to California, my husband and I are making the trip from Mississippi to the edge of west Texas in just a few days!
So funny...salad pizza is SUCH a New York staple. But nobody here in Cali knows what it is! For shame.
Safe (and fun) trip!
Have fun! Make sure to pack warm clothes and prepare for wet weather! Its raining out here :(
xoxo
I bought that crazy straw for my boyfriend on his birthday (and took him to a brewery to test it out)!

Safe travels! And bundle up - it's supposed to rain all weekend here in LA. :(
Wish you luck on the plane ride. I'm sure it will be fine:-)
I'm lucky to live 5 minutes from my parents and 10 minutes from my sister and her family, so I'm staying home as well as going home (to my parents) to celebrate Christmas with my family:-)
Love the bride with glasses - not sure I would be brave enough myself.
Does it say something about me that I didn't just secretly wanted to try the sip 'n swirl straw, but actually did?:-D
Have a wonderful weekend Joanna
Have fun! Enjoy rainy L.A.- I'm sure it will be better then the cold.

oh my goodness! little toby's first plane ride! be sure to document it! :) have a great time! xoxo, marissa
Toby's first plane ride, how exciting! And all the way to Cali! I hope he sleeps for most of it! :) Have a fantastic time!
Wow. I'm not sure what they're doing on that mountain but looks d*mn scary!
Where are you staying in LA?
It's pouring this weekend (and apparently all next week) but I'm sure you'll still have a lovely time.
That sounds like great plans for the weekend
i think i'll have a boring one...i'll go to do groceries and buy some cute ornaments and supplies for winter cookies that i'm planning to do
Target sells those drinking glasses for $5. They're in the men's clothing section on the 'gift ideas' racks. I bought one for my hubby. You really have to suck hard to get the liquid through the whole tube (sorry, that sounds terrible). He got a major case of burps from all the air.
how fun! Toby's first plane ride?? Let us know how it goes!
I wish LA had better weather for you this weekend. It's going to be a wet one..which is rare. But LA rain is nothing compared to other parts of the country. Have fun and enjoy!
Yay I have somethings to read on the weekend breaks from christmas shopping ( yes, I'm shopping last minute:(( ).
joanna, i would love to see a 'gift guide for yourself!' you know, all the things that you wanted all year but don't bother because you're too busy to think about etc.
one of the first on my list is a pair of those wolford wool tights. now that it's cold i'm really wishing i picked these up for myself! oh the list could go on and on... ;)
Good luck for the first plane ride...The trick is to breastfeed during take off and landing. Keeps their little ears from popping and helps them stay calm.
I was just talking to friends about those sip 'n' swirl straw, and we couldn't imagine they'd still be around or even what to Google to find out! Serendipitous timing - now I have some friends who will be getting these in their stockings!
Super -sounds like fun! My parents have just arrived, from Kuwait, to visit me for the first time in Uganda- we are off on safari on Sunday, so will be spotting lions on Christmas day. So excited!
have fun in california! I am jealous!
Looove your Friday links! :)
Happy weekend, and safe travels to LA!
I loved Palm Springs! Have a great time! :)
YIKES. That mountain cliff bed makes me feel all wobbly and I'm sitting at my desk! x
Good luck and happy holidays! Enjoy the "not freezing cold" weather! xoxo
Thank you, Jo!
that sounds good.
i have my vacations until
next week. that sucks!

Drive safe on all those LA freeways. Rain in Palm Springs is so nice. One of my favorite smells...rain in the desert. Next time your out this way I would love to have a play date. Are you staying at one of the awsome boutique hotels in Palm Springs?
have a wonderful trip! i'm sure toby will do great on the plane.
The salad pizza at Famous Ben's in SoHo is SO good. Have you tried it?
We're headed to CA tomorrow! Enjoy the west coast... :)
im so so so nervous. im chopping off my hair this weekend!!
Christmas parties and more Christmas parties. oh yeah, and law school applications :/ but good for you! you're coming to my neck of the woods!

My girl is two and has 8 stamps in her passport. Trick to traveling with babies: time his feeding so he eats as you're taking off and as you're landing.
You probably know this, but it will save his little ears some discomfort (and probably yours too).
Have fun!
Have a safe trip & a good time!
Have a great weekend Joanna! That trip to LA sounds great, and I'm intrigued about that Buddhist ceremony. Enjoy, relax and have fun! Besos!
Second the advice for a feed going up and down it works a treat. Also try for a window seat if you can - I use it to prop my arm when bub falls asleep - because sheez those little bundles get heavy when they have been sleeping in your arms for an hour. My little guy has been on 5 plane rides already (his grandparents live far away) - he love the "loud man" (the pilot announcements) and laughs and laughs every time as if to say "where is that guy mum?" Love it - so cute. And love your blog - please stop in to visit mine http://kith-and-kins.blogspot.com/. xx Emma
I want that vintage wool bag :)
Have fun on yoru trip! I cheated with my blogging, scheduling every one so I would be free for fun.
Merry Christmas!
that website with the sip n straw is ADORABLE!! i LOVE everything they have!!! can't wait for my friend's babyshower!!
Wow! Have such a great time in Cali (soak up that sun)! I just finished finals today and am finally home for the holidays... what a feeling! finally I have time to catch up on my blog reading. and writing.
i have the same knot ring made by rust belt. i also believe that erica weiner has a cheaper version, as well.
Have an awesome time! It's raining here so bring an umbrella!
A Buddhist ceremony? Oh man, buckle up for a lot of chanting! I grew up in that religion and never really knew what was going on.
Hi Joanna!
I just discovered your blog recently, and I'm in LOVE! Toby is beautiful, joyful, cute and hilarious! Thank you so much for bringing love, positivity and beauty into the blogosphere :)

I loved this post....love mcDreamy, love vintage southwestern bags, love pizza with salad on top and love the street style pics a TON!
Your weekend sounds exciting. I'm going to go to the gym and pool on Saturday and take it easy for the rest of the day. On Sunday, I'm planning to take a yoga class in St. Marks with some friends and do some thrift shopping afterwards.
Congrats to Alex's brother! My whole family and I are buddhist, but sadly I've never been to a buddhist wedding and don't know much about what goes on in one. I would like one if I ever get married.
Please write about it?
ooh california!!! have fun! can't wait to hear all the details about the wedding!
good luck traveling with toby, I'm sure it'll be all right!
Thanks another fabulous little post. I read your blog all the time and love hearing about your little family. Over in Oz we are gearing up for the rush of buying, eating and drinking leading up to a hot Christmas. I am taking my husband for a surfing lesson tomorrow!
thr salad pizze looks so yum! and i love that she wore her glasses on her wedding day, too cute.

I looked at and LOVED every single one of those links... Loved them.
Have so much fun in CA!! Enjoy the sun for the rest of us :).
The salad pizza totally reminds me of one at Mellow Mushroom--they top a chicken pesto white pizza with caesar salad and its amazing!
Salad pizza sounds like it'll be my dinner.
Have fun in California!

thanks for these sweet comments and the plane tips!! xoxo
the knottedrush ring is actually my wedding ring. it's like a band, but more fun and more comfortable (it's nice and thin, so i never bang it).
a wonderful round up! happy christmas!

i love wedding glasses - check these ones out:(http://www.rocknrollbride.com/2010/11/daisy-chain-eliesha-joels-geek-chic-diy-wedding/) :)
Aww, it's going to be so rainy and gloomy here for your trip! Hopefully the rain lets up a bit and you can enjoy some California sun :)
it's been raining all week here in palm springs! make sure to stop by cheeky's for brunch, it's always one of my favorite places to go :)
Hello my dear, a belated comment but I wanted to say that I loved all these links. Especially the old P. Dempsey photo (probably because I love GA), the pizza salad and the beautiful bride with her glasses. So cute!
sleeping like that on the side of the mountain ~ omg that is so scary!! i agree Joanna, I will never do that! Have you seen 127 hours? yikes!
Thank you for sharing a nice article.
