I know, it’s still sort of chilly out, but forgetting that part, I can’t help but be on the lookout for cute new dresses for spring. There are so many I love! I keep window shopping and browsing online through all the adorable warm-weather styles. One in particular that I’ve had my eye on is this gingham number from Marc by Marc Jacobs (the soon-to-be defunct brand!). What do you think?

It totally mimics this summery number worn by Jackie Kennedy in the 1960s, don’t you think? Talk about a throwback!

Have you done any spring shopping yet? What have you bought?

Are you ready for the final installment of Mad Men? The premiere is this coming Sunday night on AMC—I’m totally planning to savor every minute of each episode until it’s done. In between Sunday nights spent on my couch watching Don, Peggy, Pete, Betty and Joan, I’m planning a trip to the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens to check out the show’s sets (and over 25 costumes from the show!) in person.

I mean, what a cool idea for an exhibit! And it feels so rare (albeit logical, given the show’s setting) that it’s happening in New York. I can’t wait to peek inside the writer’s room….

…or Betty and Don’s Ossining, New York home.

Finally, how incredible to see the inside of Don’s office! Like I said, it will be hard to say goodbye to this show. The exhibit is on display now through June 14.

PS: Watch a sneak peek at the season 7 trailer here!

Happy Friday, my darling readers! How was your week? This hot and cold weather is such a tease. It’s making me count the days to my April vacation down south (we leave one month from today!). What do you have planned for the next couple of days off. I’m going with friends to Escape the Room. Have you heard of it? I’m excited…and a little bit scared. 😉 Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

Seriously contemplating this gingham dress.

SJP throwing Hanks some shade. Hilarious.

…and speaking of SJP, what a sweet idea!

An eyebrow how-to.

Adding this to my weekend to-do list!

I dare you not to fall in love with these dogs.

Made me laugh out loud.

For anyone interested in using Airbnb.

Bad hair day.

Unintentionally, Matt and I have booked ourselves for three musicals on three Thursdays in a row. Of course, we’re super excited, but also laughing at ourselves for not realizing the pattern sooner. The first show we’re seeing is Into the Woods at the Roundabout. We saw the Shakespeare in the Park version with Amy Adams two summers ago (and loved it!), so I’m excited to see this interpretation tonight.

Next up, we’re going to Hamilton, a musical that’s supposed to be out-of-this-world terrific. It’s playing at the Public Theater. We snagged tickets to this one month ago, picking an arbitrary date, which wound up being the Thursday after Into the Woods. 😉

For the final Thursday, we’re headed back to Broadway to see An American in Paris. Truthfully, I can’t think of this show without seeing Gene Kelly dancing and singing in my head. I grew up watching the VHS on repeat (almost as much as I watched Singin’ in the Rain!), so it will be fun to see it on stage.

And there you have it: Theater Thursdays! Something tells me I’m going to feel a bit sad when this trend finishes up.

Thanks to Instagram, I came across this letterpress calendar, designed to mark progress—not perfection—toward a goal. I love it! The idea is this: You set a goal (say, going to the gym) and for each day you do it, you fill in the circle with that date. If you miss a day, no big deal. When you step back and see the whole year in front of you, and how far you’ve come, you’ll realize: Every single day makes a difference. It’s about the big picture!

With progress (not perfection!) in mind, what goal would you set?
