The weekend is here!

Yes ā€”  the weekend! What do you have planned for the next couple of days off? Matt and I are actually planning an excursion to Governor’s Island. Not for the Jazz Fest like last year, but to pack a picnic and explore. The weather is supposed to be perfect, so bring on the vitamin D! šŸ™‚ Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

Do dishes, and look good, too.

World view

A world map as art ā€” what do you think? When I first stumbled upon this idea, I couldn’t believe the range of options (and color schemes) that open up just by hanging the world on your walls. If this was on display in my home, I know Iā€™d spend all day dreaming about the many places I want to go. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon, right?

What do you think? Would you try this design idea?

Cute couple alert

Did anyone watch the Tony Awards over the weekend? My vote for the most adorable and stylish couple goes to Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield. Seriously, could they be any cuter?! šŸ™‚

Scenes from the beach

I thought we all could use a bit of sunshine to help ease us into the week! These are a few shots that I took out in the North Fork of Long Island a couple of weeks ago. This secluded beach was the perfect spot to relax in the sand, and go for a quick dip, too. My friends and I had a picnic brunch before laying out our towels and taking in the view. The only downside? Having to leave! šŸ˜‰
