The weekend is here!

So happy another weekend has arrived! What do you have planned for your next couple of days off? Matt is taking me to see Anything Goes on Broadway starring Sutton Foster. My high school put on an amazing performance of this show when I was a sophomore, and I’ve adored it ever since! šŸ™‚ I’m also catching up with a friend for tea at the Gotham Lounge in the Peninsula Hotel. Have you ever been? The whole idea seems so elegant and fun. Here, to get your weekend started right, a few fun posts from around the web:
Good advice from Mary Poppins.

Pretty pink tulips!

Listen to Nina.

How to be a color scientist. 

Multi-tasking at its best!

Oh, the magic. 

This is for my very good friend Ruby.

Make your own custom notepad.

A good excuse to splurge.

One song I have on replay.

Meet the littlest ladies who lunch!

More John Krasinski please.

A gorgeous skirt for spring. 


Silver fox.

Paris can wait.

The one thing you should check out this weekend!

My first trip to the Met

Tell me ā€” have you ever been to the opera in New York? Two weekends ago, I had the chance to see Lucia di Lammermoor, an Italian opera being performed at the Met. What a night! The show was so moving and elegant. I especially loved the intense respect for the performers that the audience had. I was even a bit startled the first time I heard someone yell out “Bravo!”

As a kid, I remember my grandmother talking about her biannual trips to the Met. A singer herself, she had a deep love for opera music, and looked forward to catching a live performance with all her heart. Into her late 70s, she would make the trek from Connecticut to the city and sit in the same seats that I did, just two weeks ago. It felt so special to be able to carry on her tradition, and her appreciation for the opera too.

Have you been to the opera before? What was your experience like? Do you think you would go back?

The art of conversation

How much time do you spend on the phone each day? According to Pamela Paul of the New York Times, not much. In a recent article, she points out an interesting cultural shift: that phone conversations are a thing of the past. 

But remember the excitement and joy that only came when the phone would ring? You would wait by the phone all night, terrified you would miss a call from your best friend or the boy of your dreams!

I’ve always been a phone talker ā€” certainly in my personal life, but often times in business too. I look forward to phone dates with friends and have no problem camping on the phone for an hour or two during a relaxing evening at home. Do you agree with Pamela? Do you cringe when a voicemail pops up? Or do you look forward to daily chats with friends? Let me know your thoughts ā€” I’d love to hear what you think!
