I've always been a huge fan of Jeopardy and almost any other trivia game. For a change, I'm headed to a local bar tonight for...get this...Seinfeld trivia. I'm currently prepping my brain via YouTube and iMDB so that I could, at the very least, stand a small chance against the die hard fans. Wish me a ton of luck! I leave you with my all-time favorite clip.

Finally, Friday! Didn't it just feel like the longest week in record? This weekend, we're celebrating my boyfriend's birthday (we're only 9 days apart) so it will be a blast eating cupcakes for a second weekend in a row! No guilt. Ever. And here are my favorite links from around the interweb this week:

I think that all of you can relate to the money struggles of a twenty-something. I'd much rather be going out to eat at all the fabulous restaurants in the city, vacationing abroad, or shopping without any reservations. Even though I save a set amount from each check for long-term savings, I end up just transferring it out. Oops! Do you have any good (and semi-easy) money-saving tricks?

Spotted the new home of Judy Aldridge on one of my fav blogs and couldn't help but follow the link trail to see that Jane Aldridge also posted photos of her first apartment. Isn't it glorious?

Any fun plans for the weekend? Welp, it's MY BIRTHDAY...and I'm going to shout it from the rooftops while eating Funfetti cake. Lots of fun to be had, starting at 5:30 PM. In the meantime, here's a round-up of my fav links this week:

All this mild winter weather has just made me overlook every sweater in my wardrobe for the past 4 weeks. I'm ready for summer, not even spring, and I'm not afraid to show it. I've already started my bikini hunt and stumbled upon the cutest things EVER. Bustier tops, high waist bottoms...practically a man's worst nightmare. For me? Heaven.

Friday is finally here! Any good plans this weekend? I'm working on some projects for school and work, but hoping to get in some R&R at some point. "Hoping" being the keyword! Here's a tiny list of my weekly round-up of favorites this week:

You are too cool for words. I think you would look really neat in my future living room, navy walls and all. Throw some jewel-toned pillows on you and call it a day. How's that sound?

Kind of obsessing over this Rubik Bracelet at Maryam Nassir Zadeh. Not only is it super cute, but I would imagine it would help distract you during a very boring business meeting. Hooray! And, if you can't lay down $368 for it, there's always the original:

I cried until my eyes were puffed, and hours later, decided I needed to own it, and watched it again only 12 hours later. Now, weeks later, someone posts this real life experiment based on the movie! I am beyond. How fun would it be to be a part of this?

Snuggie-esque, but 5x cooler (and 10x more $$$). Probably not as warm, but still, who needs warmth when you look this adorable?

LSD has a set of Andy Warhol's and a record collection to die for. She even says that there are no iPod docks or CD players in their home! I think I like her even more for that...not to mention, she commissioned that adorable Lego bulldog by Nathan Sawaya (bottom right).

Red toile wallpaper is so genius here. If you notice, only the one wall is papered--the others are all white. See that in the mirror? What an amazing way to add quick charm to a room! AND, I think I found that wallpaper! Wooo.
