Orange appeal

This spring, will you wear orange? Its quickly becoming my color of choice to throw on as soon as the warm weather hits. For example, this Steven Alan dress. Paired with flats or heels, it seems very ‘effortless chic’ to me. What do you think? If orange isn’t your thing, is there another shade you love?

Andrew Garfield for Band of Outsiders

These images remind me of two things: 1) I need to get a polaroid camera. 2) I just love Andrew Garfield. How cute does he look in this ad campaign for Band of Outsiders? So fun to see his playful side! Did you see him in The Social Network and Never Let Me Go? What a talented guy. Next up, he’s set to star as Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man flick. Just one more reason to look forward to the summer!

Skating in Bryant Park

Last week, my friend Lisa surprised me with a change of plans. Instead of our usual catch-up over drinks, she suggested we take advantage of New York and talk while skating in Bryant Park. Such a fun idea! We met at the park around 7:30, rented skates, and wobbled our way onto the rink to enjoy the spectacular city views. It wasn’t long before we were skating like pros, navigating the icy rink, and laughing every time we almost fell! The night was so much fun, and a perfect reminder: a little spontaneity on a week night can go a long way. Thanks Lisa for coming up with such a creative idea!

Oceans apart

This trans-seasonal love story is too sweet for words. Created by filmmaker Kirsten Lepore, it’s happy and sad all it once. Watch out for the ending ā€” it will break your heart!

The weekend is here!

Happy Friday dear readers! Are you snowed in? This week, we only saw rain in New York, but come weekend, more winter weather is due! I’m planning a cozy couple of days indoors, except for tonight ā€” Matt and I are going to hear Cuban music in Williamsburg. Should be fun! What about you ā€” what are you doing to stay warm? Wishing each of you a lovely weekend off! In the meantime, here are a few happy posts from around the web:
