Have a romantic weekend.

My lovelies, what are you doing this weekend? Alex and I went on a bike ride and out for Turkish food last night. Chicken kebabs are where it's at! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with the people you love, and meanwhile, here are a few great posts from around the web (it was a great week for blogging, it seems!)...

A transparent kayak!

LOVING these awesome false eyelashes. (I just ordered two pairs.)

Cliff diving.

Love behind-the-scenes.

Turban buns at a polo match.

A rug for social people + a rug for forgetful people.

NYC toys for little dudes.

A heartfelt New England wedding.

Want to go to the Outer Banks in North Carolina?

Another super-sweet Father's Day present.

This weekend is the kid's first days of summer vacay! But the weather is really cold and wet, so it's indoor fun for us. Also, I'll be working in my studio. At least I don't have to feel like I'm missing out on any fun with my hubby and kids while I slave away on a ton of orders for my summer collection. ;)

Hi Joanna
What is the brand of false lashes?
Bike ride and chicken kabobs sounds healthy, delicious Nd fun!

I have that heart rug! My cat loves to lay in kitchen where I have to walk by her when I leave always giving me the saddest "Don't leave!" looks. So when I saw that rug I knew it would be perfect.

Those suitcase stickers are hilarious. I don't think I'd ever actually use them, cause who wants MORE time at the airport dealing with MORE security, right? But they definitely cracked me up. This weekend I'm stepping outside my comfort zone and trying something new. Wish me luck!

Taylor said...

That picture is so adorable. I love that he just has one finger touching her. It's so romantic. Lost are the days of the simple touch and replaced with people walking with their hands in the butt pocket of the other person. I dont get it. Not classy people!

Eliza Jane said...

Love the links this Friday! Thanks!

Jamie Herzlinger said...

Love your blog! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

We took our family vacation to Outer Banks a few weeks ago! It was fantastic, we loved every minute of it. Outer Banks is unheard of in Oklahoma :) It was a lovely suprise and a peaceful vacation.

It's a relatively chilly weekend in the Mitten. I tried a new cheese and tonight we're going to my Grandma's 87th birthday party!

Lorna Jane Active said...

I soaked up the Winter sunshine this lovely long weekend. I also got my walk on, in training for the up and coming Million Paws Walk. But bike riding is always a great way to get fit and have fun.

What do you wear when cycling, especially in NYC? Are you a shorts or tights girl?

p.s a transparent canoe...how cool!

Love
Lorna Jane
