Have a delicious weekend.

My darlings, what are your plans for the weekend? It's snowing like crazy in New York right now, but Alex and I are going to bundle up and take Toby on his first trip to MoMA. And, next week, I'm excited to share our vacation photos from California. Well, have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...

The New York blizzard.

Can you believe this is a dorm room?!

Invented! A rainbow machine.

Can you spot the floating balcony in Williamsburg? Such a funny mistake!

Sweet family beach shots in Australia.

Whoa! Versailles will be opening its doors to overnight hotel guests next year. (Yes, that Versailles!)

The sweetest Tumblr that my guy friend writes to his future wife.

These organic baby pants are too cute.

Alex and I are getting so into watching Mad Men. This Rolling Stone photo from last year is rad...but here's how it was photoshopped!

Awww.

And finally -- Whoa, thank you, Lucky! :)

Plus, six wintery Cup of Jo posts you might have missed:
* Winter cyclists.
* Winter shorts.
* Winter blues.
* Our winter mantlepiece.
* Winter weather.
* Winter tights.

Pin It Now!

sounds like a lovely weekend plan! i kind of want it to snow some more before it lets up.

a side question, joanna, but what kind of shoe shoes/boots do you wear this time of year (if at all)? there are so many options, but it's always a style conundrum this time of year...i posted about this on my blog but would welcome any suggestions from you or other readers! :)

I went to America this summer to New York and it was the most amazing place I've ever seen! I adored MoMA it was so unique and crazy and fabulous!!

I can't wait for the weekend- I'm going to see Cinderella as a ballet, having a sleepover for a friends party, going out for a pizza, going to see Billy Elliot and doing a fashion photography course! I'll be tired out by Sunday evening! Hope you have a lovely weekend :)

You're getting the storm ahead of us...It's on it's way to us in about an hour...if it hasn't started already. I don't want to look!...*sigh*

Anne said...

Your blog warms my heart. Thanks for posting the "to my wife" link. I keep a running list of what I call 'The Stuff' to share with my future husband (wherever he is). It is nice to know that there's someone else out there musing about the love of their life.

Elizabeth Sullivan said...

To My Wife guy is adorable! When is he going to set up a site for girls to write in to him to be the future wife?? Let's set it up!

erstwhiledear said...

Penny said...

That dorm room is awesome. My son is a freshman and his room gives minimalist a new definition. He's happy with food on his shelves.

Ana* said...

Snow and blankets would make up a perfect weekend for me.

Laura said...

Jealous of your snow and that dorm room is to-die-for! I also love the egg photo... looks like what I'm planning for breakfast tomorrow morning! Have a great weekend!

Polly said...

Wow that dorm room is amazing! I wish I was allowed to put pictures on my walls. We're not even supposed to put posters or blue tack on our walls.
I blogged my dorm room here:

Brittany H. said...

I cannot believe they are opening a part of Versailles as a mini hotel. I wonder how much they want per night, and where in Versailles it would be.

It's a dream come true.

I let out a little squeal after reading that Versailles is opening up its doors to stay the night! Seems like an absolutely magical honeymoon or trip with a husband/boyfriend. :)

Hello! I just adore your blog, and I was just wondering what schooling you've had for writing/journalism/magazine writing. Just because I'm trying to apply to school for english/journalism, and I have no ideas what courses to take! This would be fantastic if you could
Thanks!

All those sequels will be fed to Starz as part of the new distribution deal. Other Weinstein Co. films coming to Starz include critically acclaimed "The King's Speech," and "Blue Valentine." nice and cheap ugg boots is on display right now at Harrods ugg clearance in London, but once released, will there be a market for it?

we also started watching mad men, and though it took hubs a while to get into it, we are both stuck. unfortunately, we have it on netflix, so we can watch a ridiculous amount of episodes in a row... bad idea. almost always!

I also love the To My Wife tumblr site... too cute.

I remember seeing that dorm room when it first printed! My dorm rooms were filled with posters of Eddie Vedder and cheesy model types with their shirts off pretending to change tires. I think I graduated to a couple framed Monet prints by senior year.

MJ said...

I was completely inspired by your friends Tumblr. So much, I had to start my own! dear-husband.tubmlr.com
