The weekend is here!

Happy Friday! My dear readers, I hope each of you had a lovely week. Now, on to the weekend! What do you have planned? I’m hoping to finally start my holiday shopping — never an easy task! I’m also going to see Gatz at the Public Theater with Matt. A six hour play? We’ll see how I do! Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

The fashionable princess-to-be: a look back. 

I have so much to do that I’m going to bed. 

Scenes from the High Line.  

Atmosphere, earth and ocean prints! 

The book I’m reading next.

Elton John gets a standing O.  

Purple potato chips! 

Time to start a book club. 

Ideas for a handmade wedding. 

A happy puppy — and a staircase I adore!   

Scarlet red from Alexander McQueen.

The coziest mittens to keep you warm.

‘Great Gatsby’ casting

Leo will star as Jay Gatsby and Tobey Maguire is rumored to have been cast as Nick Carraway. At the beginning of the week, the only question still remaining about Baz Luhrmann’s Gatsby adaptation was a big one: who will play Daisy? The verdict is finally in — beating out ScarJo, Natalie Portman and many other young and stylish celebs, Carey Mulligan has won the role. Her reaction this week on the red carpet in LA was humble and sweet: she burst into tears. What do you think? Was Carey the right choice?  

On another note, I’m seeing Gatz this weekend at the Public. Can’t wait!

A Royal Wedding: Prince William and Kate!

 

What exciting news yesterday — Prince William is engaged! The lucky bride? Ms. Kate Middleton of course, his stunning on and off-again girlfriend of the past eight years. Now, the fun begins! What dress will she wear? When will we get our first glimpse of the ring? Who will attend the biggest celebration of Spring or Summer 2011? One thing is certain — Kate should take her style cue from Princess Diana, whose wedding-day grace, elegance and beauty still radiates today. Here, a photo of the happy couple, and a few shots of Princess Di and Prince Charles taken almost 30 years ago on their own big day!
