Happy weekend, my dear readers! Do you find the bowl of heirloom tomatoes above as irresistible as I do? It reminds me of the tomato tasting I did a couple months back — oh, how I miss those summer days! 

What are you up to this weekend? Anything fun planned? I’m watching Game 1 of the NLCS between the SF Giants and the Phillies. As you know, I’m a Red Sox fan, but Matt’s home team is the Giants so I have to represent! Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

Vintage ladies and robots.

If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound?  

Lions and tigers (no bears). Oh my!

An under layer collection I love.

DIY crepe paper lanterns.

The perfect compact.

My favorite purchase so far this fall (and a similar look from Forever 21).

A barn wedding with the most enticing candy bar I’ve ever seen!  

Lip Stick from TopShop (literally).  

Dashing off!

Finally! Photos from last weekend’s 80s extravaganza. Above is a shot with the birthday girl and boy. If you look closely in the background, there’s a box of Capri Sun — the theme beverage of choice at this particular soiree. Lots more 80s goodness to come in the photos below. Enjoy!

Can we say Mad Men withdrawal? I can’t believe this Sunday is the season four finale of the show. Where does the time go? In honor of this season’s conclusion, I thought I’d revisit Rolling Stone‘s photo tribute to the show from September. Such great pics!

As you may know from previous posts, I’m not much of a cook in the kitchen. Thank goodness Matt is! This past week, we had friends over for a mini Mexican fiesta featuring one of his tastiest specialties: double decker tacos. 

Inspired by the dish served at Taco Bell, Matt’s version is one and the same. You take a soft tortilla, wrap it around a hard taco shell, add a layer of re-fried beans in the middle, and voila! Double decker tacos. The traditional taco fixings still apply: meat, cheese, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, salsa. Sprinkle a touch of cilantro on top and I promise you — they’re delish!

Read my interview with Fabio Scalia in the latest issue of New York Resident magazine, available now. I met Fabio at his salon in Brooklyn Heights — what a gorgeous spot! Also in this issue, learn about Flywheel and consider trying a cycling class with a competitive edge.
