Have an adventurous weekend!

What are you up to this weekend, my darlings? We're heading to a rental house in the Poconos to celebrate my dad's birthday. (We have some tricks up our sleeves!) I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend with lots of treats and not too much rain! As my mom would say, take gentle care of yourselves. xoxo

Meanwhile, here are a few fun links from around the web this week...

A handy napkin for drunken evenings.

Pictogram movie posters.

A modern chicken coop.

Mad Men is officially delayed! Bummed!

Krisatomic wrote the funniest thing I've read all week.

Extraordinary skiing shots from the sky.

Love notes.

A gift complaint form for kids.

Cute Swedish tights.

Wedding save-the-dates printed on wood!

A few lovely readers asked where I got my Peter-Pan collar dress; I got it years ago at In God We Trust, but here are similar pretty dresses.

Plus, just for fun, some awesome business cards:
* plaid
* portrait
* dentist
* watercolor
* NYC's best

(Photo from Annie Hall)
Pin It Now!

Oh my gosh, those watercolor business cards are beautiful! And I LOVED the ones Refinery 29 posted. (I linked to them, too, with a little story about an old boss of mine who was a bit... temperamental...) The one from the NYC cab company was one I would never look twice at, but once they put it in the context of quintessential New York, I agreed--genius.

Also loved the Chronic Bitchface post--hilare!

Anywho, long comment alert! Have a good one:) xo

Love your spring wish list. You need to buy the NARS red lipstick, trust me, it's great. Have a nice weekend with your Dad as I am stuck in the remains of a nor'easter, in April...

Total bummer about Mad Men! I just received the new business cards I designed for my thesis show today, coincidentally, so loving all of those extra business card links (especially the plaid!) Have a wonderful weekend celebrating with your family!

Katie said...

haha that napkin is great! Seriously perplexed about where my copy of annie hall is (had to facebook status it & no confessions of friends borrowing it yet!), i love that movie!

this weekend i am going for a long run in the sunshine, rewarding myself with afternoon tea booked at the soho grand, & then cocktails at waterstones - drunken bookshopping, what could go wrong??

Hope you have a lovely weekend too!

I ordered that Proenza Schouler dress on your wishlist as a potential wedding dress, but it didn't look right on my body type.

Only-somewhat-related: I wrote a really long comment the other day about my first date with my fiance and something happened with the Internets and I lost it. Poof. :(

Joanna Goddard said...

aw, hillary, that's too bad!! and awesome that you ordered the dress; you might try some of the jcrew dresses, they fit really beautifully! xoxo also shopbop has a new wedding boutique on their site. good luck!!

Julie said...

Oh how I live for Woody Allen...
