Sunshine yellow

The day I injected color into my mostly black wardrobe was a day that brought major change in my life (long, but good story). That’s why I’m thrilled to see pops of colors — like sunshine yellow — everywhere this spring. I love the scenes above from fashion week in Milan. Each shot validates my latest purchase, this gorgeous, bright yellow dress from J. Crew.

Are you a fan of a colorful wardrobe? What color are you most looking forward to wearing come spring?

Ross and Rachel through the years

Longtime readers of my blog already know this — I’m a huge Friends fan. Last week, Jennifer Aniston achieved a major career milestone: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. During an interview about her success, she talked about her most famous role — playing Rachel — and the fate of her character’s marriage to Ross. “They’re absolutely, 100 percent together,” she said speaking about the current status of TV’s most beloved couple, eight years since we last saw them. “They have more kids!” Read the rest of her interview about this (and a possible Friends movie) here.

Tell me — were you a Friends fan? What are your thoughts on a movie version of the show?

Mast Brothers Chocolate Factory Tour

I’m not as obsessed with chocolate as my sister is, but that still didn’t stop me from booking tickets for a behind-the-scenes tour of Mast Brothers Chocolate in Brooklyn over the weekend. Oh, the decadence! This only-in-New York brand produces American craft chocolate that is rich, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth good. I walked out the door with a Maine Sea Salt bar, but there were so many others — Black Truffle, Vanilla and Smoke, their very own Brooklyn Blend — that I was tempted to buy.

Garance Doré recently did an amazing post about the packaging for each bar — something worth checking out.

Have you tried this chocolate before? Better yet, have you been on the tour?

The weekend is here!

Happy weekend dear readers! Don’t you just love the photo above? The gorgeous mantra — your soul is rooting for you — is so sweet, too. I’m excited about this weekend! Matt and I have reservations to check out Red Rooster in Harlem. Have you been? Some comfort food sounds perfect right about now. That said, the countdown to my 10K has begun — it’s just about a month away! Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:
