Have a lovely weekend.

My sweets, what are you doing this weekend? New York finally feels like fall! There's the lovely crispness in the air that gives you rosy cheeks and makes you want to drink tea. Also, this coming Thursday, we'll be going to our good friend Samantha Hahn's gallery opening. If you're in New York, come by for a glass of wine! It would be fun to meet you. Hope you have a lovely weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...

Nature cake toppers.

Things we say that we owe to Shakespeare.

Love everything at J. Crew this fall.

(I just got this dress for meetings and after-work drinks. I'm so excited to wear it.)

Making friends.

How to wear a head scarf.

Internet high five.

Cute dogs.

Roald Dahl had a writing hut.

This book looks fantastic. (Congratulations, Grace!)

Adorable baby stripes.

How to make a Disney movie 100 times better (so funny).

  12. wow - your friend Samantha's water colors are amazing, from the pics you had a link to. i've taken a water coloring class at UC Berkeley one summer and was struck by how difficult it is to master this art form.
    and her subjects are beautiful as well.
    wish i lived in NY to check out the gallery, and possibly meet you as well. oh well.
    c'est la vie.

  17. I recently got that J.Crew dress for work/interviews and I'm so happy that the weather has turned more fall-like so that I can wear it comfortably. You are going to get sooooo much wear out of that dress. Have a great weekend, Joanna!

  30. Love your jcrew dress Joanna. Cake toppers, baby stripes and making friends (awww) all so cute. I was laughing hysterically with the Beauty and Beast song. I run an after school program and have movie days on Friday so I have seen all of these movies 100's of times. This would be a nice change but I doubt the parents would approve. Ha ha!
