Have a romantic weekend.
My lovelies, what are you up to this weekend? Alex and I are going to the movies! We're seeing Somewhere, the new Sofia Coppola movie. Have you seen it? (Thoughts?) Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few great links from around the web this week...
Alex interviewed the fabulous Garance Dore!
Now that is a sexy bra.
Also, smoking hot swimsuits.
DIY smooch!
Lovely little shop.
A Valentine to your town.
Do you remember this book? What a funny flashback.
Lauren Fleishman's touching photo series of couples who have been married fifty years or more.
Sweet dreams print.
Great news: Our girl Chelsea is now doing wedding flowers.
And just for some added cuteness, raining cats. (Their little feet!)

thanks, shannon!
the movie is not bad, but it`s not the best of Sofia. great dialogues, lovely acting, especially dad & daughter scenes and also the way of presenting the space. Sofia filming style, good music and many things said between the lines. i`m curious what you`ll say. enjoy.
I saw it last weekend and loved it although I would've liked the end to be just a tiny bit different.
Oooo I've been wanting to see that! Have fun.
i loved somewhere. it had me tearing up before the title even came on the screen. all of her movies are such an aesthetic treat. this one felt particularly special. hope you enjoy it too!
Have a beautiful weekend!
P.S. Thx for letting us know about Alex' article on Garance Dore. She's the one who got me into blogging in the first place. Inspirational.
Wonderful article by Alex!
Happy Weekend!
I am so excited to see that movie! I went to chateau marmont over Christmas... it was amazing! I hope you like it!
I really enjoyed Somewhere, even the drawn out ennui scenes that she does so well, but it does feel a bit indulgent, like Sofia made the film for herself - which is fair enough! It was intruiging to say the least, I wanted to know what happened after the end ;)
Oh I'm such a romantic! My grandparents were married for 50 years and it makes my heart happy just thinking about it!
well these all rocked my world. those cats! the kisses! acks! : )
xo-
Looved the Garance article! So cool that he got to hang with her for a bit! She rocks.
Have a most romantic weekend! Thanks for the inspirations!

The Sweet Dreams print is pretty adorable. I've got to check out the other links now.
Have a lovely weekend!
hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
Fabulous round up!
Oooh I've been wanting to see that, but it's not out in LA yet (ironically!). But the Egyptian is playing classic movies this weekend AND Sixteen Candles is on the big screen (http://bussbuss.com/wp/2011/02/09/sixteen-candles/) so I hope to see something fun before heading to the desert for a few days (to spend VDay with Dave & Scott!).
xx,
kelly
p.s. GREAT article by Alex!
Have a happy weekend as well! And "Somewhere" was amazing - made me fall in love with LA! You will love it! :)
Also, that photo series is great! I love real, honest love stories.
I absolutely LOVED Somewhere. You will fall in love with the characters because you will feel like you are in their life for years. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful weekend, Joanna!
I loved Alex's article about Garance. Perfect for V-Day!
sushi and a movie, valentine crafts, lots of hot chocolate, snuggling and laughing. have a lovely weekend!
I love Garance! What a great interview. Way to go Alex!
Have a wonderful weekend my dear!
Awesome links as usual! That's such a lovely vintage photo :) Have a great Valentine weekend, sweetie!

I truly love all of Sofia's other movies, but seriously don't waste your money or time on SOMEWHERE!!! It was terrible!
oh my gosh, i am in love with that bra!
Loved the awesome Garance Dore article!
i love when i'm reading a fabulous article on the times and then i notice it's written by your sweet hubby. :)
Sofia Coppola is an amazing writer and director but honestly the film did absolutely nothing for me! Being from S. Cali I feel it taught the stereotypical and obvious story of a celebrity but in a more appealing way yet there were no characters that became attached to me nor to my friends
:( Def. try to look deeer into it and maybe you'll discover something! cheers
Those kitties are cracking me up, I love them!
I am totally trying the DIY Smooch! Thanks!
ha! i read that story on garance (which was perfect) and didn't even realize it was by alex!
thank you for the link love, love.
have a beautiful weekend. hope it's warming up there!
Love the article about Garance.
Happy weekend!
This has been the BEST weekend post EVER! :)
Hi there
I always enjoy reading your blog.
I am an eternal fan of Sophia Coppola's work - Lost in Translation - is one of my all time favorites - the understated comic of Bill Murray! I like her casual pace, subtleties and displacement of characters - which is what you get again with Somewhere. The young Elle Fanning is terrific!
I hope you enjoy the movie and have a great weekend too!

Date nights are the best.
I plan on shopping for home decor, and goodies for Valentines day.
Have a beautiful weekend!

Very nice Alex. Love this time of year, everyone is so happy
i've seen the movie preview for Somewhere, but i don't think the movie's out where i live yet ):
i'm definitely watching it though! seems like just the kind of vibe i like in movies ♥
What a cool interview. My intro to Garance Doré illos was on one of your Smitten posts.
That is a sexy bra! And at a great price, too! xo style, she wrote
YOU"RE MARRIED TO THAT ALEX?? I'm supremely jealous, I love his writing. Someday I want to be that good! (After I finish up with J-school, and with a bit of luck and a lot of work, maybe writing for the NYTimes too! Oh dreams.)
Totally unrelated, but the photo series of married couples past their 50th was so bittersweet. My grandfather died just two or three weeks before his & oma's 50th, a few years past.
The kittens are cute!... and that bra!!
Beth
thanks for sharing that trailer.. i am definitely going to go see that film now! focus feature + sofia coppola + phoenix... how could you go wrong?
we saw Somewhere a few weeks ago and really liked it. It's true to Sophia Coppola's slow-paced style so just sit back and take it all in. There's also really little dialogue. We looked up the script and it's only about 42 pages! Enjoy your weekend! xo
I wasn't a fan of Somewhere...I am a huge fan of Sofia Coppola though.
we love sophia coppola but hated the movie. we kept waiting for it to get good. if you like watching people play wii for 10 minutes, and sit by a pool for 10 minutes, and such- then you may like it.
Lovely picks...
and I had no idea the Up Close Alex Williams is *your* Alex. He's quite good, of course. What a dynamic team you make!
Will you be keeping us posted on what you think about Somewhere? It's on my list of the very few movies I treat myself to each year!
Would love to hear your take.
I want to see this movie too. Sophia Coppola is an excellent director(a).
Have a nice weekend!
love the links!!! the "raining cats" made me smile, i love little kittens! thanks for sharing :)

I really want to see that movie too. Lovely post!
I saw these bike bags and thought of you http://www.calivintage.com/2011/02/collina-strada-spring-2011.html
LOVE this pic of Jean Seberg!
So chic- I really want her dress:)
I am dying to see Somewhere- I am fan of anything Sofia Coppola esp. Marie Antoinette
omg
i love the couples together for over 50 years.
and the j'aime ma ville shirt
and the "sweet dreams" painting :) xoxo
I am going to Miami next month, I am buying that VPL bathing suit ASAP!
Holy moly -- I certainly do remember that book! Yikes!
The lil kitties are too cute!!! Have a great weekend! Enjoy the movie!! =)

Somewhere isn't Sofia Coppola's best movie, but its definitely "hers". I think she trys too hard in this film.
Elle Fanning is lovely, charming and wonderful. Any scene with her is enchanting.
Stephan Dorf...is...um...well, not acting. He just stares off into space.
I love that black and white picture it remeinds me of an old movie poster from French.
If you like scrapwood wallpaper.. then come over to enter the competition with Piet Hein Eek on my blog
love the breathless photo. and that bra is stunning (love the underwear, too).
Love this post! I thought "Somewhere" was not too bad, but I much prefer her other films as Marie Antoinette or Lost In Translation.
Wonderful post as always!
Much love!

I liked Somewhere but only after a certain point - it's one of those 'interesting' movies, maybe.
I reviewed it http://www.ephemeraldigest.co.uk/2010/12/somewhere-review/ but would be good to know what you thought of it.
I haven't seen the movie yet, have fun. Those wedding flowers are really cute.
My Heart Blogged
Hi Joanna,
Somewhere got 72% by critics and 49% by users. I wanted to watch it too, do let us know if it's good :)
OMG! "Where Did I Come From?" My three year old needs that book. Ack! Where has the time gone? Thanks for the flashback and parenting advice. Have a great time at the movies!
i agree, Somewhere didn't blow me away. The acting, especially from elle, was compelling to watch, & the sense of nostalgia & ease with which SC brings together music & image really is interesting. But some of the earlier scenes (faded movie star watching porn, ice-skater daughter) seemed uninspiring & a little cliched...
Go see Never let me go - keira aside, it's a fantastic film!

I have to say, I love these Friday link roundups- I always end up finding a few gems that I just HAVE to bookmark. :)
Thanks for rocking at finding neat stuff!

What did you think of the new Sofia Coppola movie? Is it good? o0o wow that's awesome that Alex interviewed Garance Dore, I will go and read that.
I really adore your friday posts :)
i adored your husbands article on Garance! such a talented two-some you guys are!
The fact that the bra is on sale makes it that much more tempting!

I really enjoyed Somewhere but it seems to be a love or hate film, not so much happens for the most part but I enjoy watching people just be and these actors do it very well. Plus it shows how banal their lives can be.
Loved the Garance interview, she's very cool indeed
Thanks for the info ! I enjoyed your post !
wow joanna, so neat alex got to interview garance! can't wait to hear what you thought of somewhere, especially if it's anywhere near as good as breathless!! happy valentine's day, and so delighted you included my print in your wonderful weekend links! thank you xo
love the old pic.

I read Alex's article on Garance Dore, then immediately checked out her blog to see what is new. Great piece, congrats to both of you. Oh, and finally made it to Jadore..BEST bras anywhere. Am sure I read about that place on your blog. All the best.
Hi Joanna,
Lovely blog!
Discovered it last friday and can't get enough of it! ;o)
Now I just finished the honey moon's posts and I am in love with Positano!
Keep the nice work!

What a brilliant diy idea! I'll have to remember it for another special occasion :-)
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I'd love to see a post about a night out with just you and Alex. Do you do anything special to prepare? Wear anything special? Do you talk about Toby when you're out, or keep it strictly adults-only? As a fellow new mom, I'd love some ideas.
