Magazine covers to keep

When it comes to magazines, are you more likely to save or toss an issue after you finish reading it? Natali over at Narrylikes raised this question last week and it got me thinking. I’m definitely a girl that likes to hold onto copies of magazines I’ve read. Why? I love the thought that one day I’ll frame each one and get to see the design and style changes that took place over the years. That said, my New York-sized apartment is forcing me to be a bit more selective about the issues I keep!

It seems there is one other way to save the magazine covers I love ā€” knit a replica of each one! At least that’s what Inge Jacobsen decided to do with her favorite issues of Vogue. Pretty clever idea, no? I’m so impressed by the detail of her work!

The weekend is here!

Happy weekend dear readers and happy Memorial Day too! A three day weekend is always a wonderful treat. What do you have planned? I’m escaping for a few days out of the city, and some much needed R&R. Golf, shopping, brunch ā€” that’s how I’ll be filling the time. I’ve been craving some country air, and this weekend, I have big plans to soak it up. šŸ™‚ Wishing each of you a lovely long weekend. Here, to get it started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

Host your own summer brunch.

Carry a book clutch.

I’m all for instant comfort

Car trouble.

An invitation to get together.

Prepare for the future.

The perfect weekend.

A tour of Prabal Gurang.

Life’s happiness found at pool school

Pink pants! 

Literally, I love Rob Lowe.

Daydreaming about summer camp

Leave it to Flavorpill to pull together a list of fictional summer camps we all wish we could attend. Their list makes me fantasize about summer vacation as a kid ā€” a time that was full of open-ended possibilities and free time! All of Flavorpill’s picks are fantastic. Addams Family Values, Salute Your Shorts, Camp Nowhere ā€” each one is pop culture gem. But what about Camp Cucamonga? I remember being 7 or 8 years old and having my friends over for a birthday slumber party where we watched this film. At the time, the cast didn’t even register. Jennifer Aniston, Danica McKellar, Candace Cameron Bure ā€” all star in the film. Have you seen this movie? What was your favorite movie to watch as a kid?

A change of a dress

In my book, Memorial Day Weekend makes it official: summer is here! There’s nothing I love more than breaking out a crisp new dress to wear when warm weather arrives. The four above are only a handful of my top picks. Don’t you just love Steven Alan‘s take on spring/summer fashion? Or Shoshanna‘s bright and colorful coral dress? And I love the casual, yet elegant look of anything Calypso St. Barth. How about you? What’s your favorite summer look?
