Hello, Friday

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:

The happiest animals in the world!

Eeekk only more 45 days until the special edition Domino issue comes out

A lovely reminder to just step back and breathe

Drooling over everything here, but especially putting this on my weekend to-do

I want everything on this inspiration board, including the mermaid flask

P.S. Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Hello, Friday

Friday, what took you so long!  Any good plans this weekend?  I'm heading to the Yankees game tonight and some sort of adventure on Saturday that I haven't quite decided on yet.  Bodies exhibit?  Farmers market?  It will be a last minute decision!  And, with that being said, I leave you with a tiny list of links that have kept me smiling this week:

...and just when I thought Pendleton was out of my league.

Hello, Friday

I'm sorry for the lack of my normally scheduled Hello, Friday links, but the least I can do is leave you with Mr. James Brown.  I couldn't have said it better myself...

Hello, Friday

Sort of a roller-coaster week, right?  Glad that it's the weekend and we can all just c-h-i-l-l.  Here's a round-up of some of my favorites this week:

One last thing: If you so desire, please donate to the disaster relief in Haiti...a little goes a long way. Yankees are doing it. Naomi's doing it. Though my donation was small, I helped someone. I don't know who that person was, but I think it's important we stick together. To give, use the button on the right for American Red Cross or you can also donate to Fonkoze.

xo!
