The weekend is here!

Happy Friday, my darling readers! I hope you had a lovely week. 🙂 Now that the weekend is here, what do you have planned? I’m excited to watch some football, and enjoy a cozy weekend indoors. It’s chilly outside! Wishing you a fun and relaxing weekend ahead. Here, to get it started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

Chilly days

It’s official: Fall has arrived in New York. More than fall, actually—we went from 70ish degrees on Monday to the mid-50s today. Plus, rain! And gusts of wind! I wasn’t prepared at all. In fact, I dropped my tan trench off at the dry cleaners, thinking I was good without it for the next 3-4 days. Bad move! But yes, I really do think that yesterday was the last day I could comfortably get by wearing a dress without any tights.

How about you? Have you busted out your stockings yet? 🙂

Movie night

After a few weekends out of town, I’m feeling super behind on all the great movies in theaters right now. The three films at the top of my list are: Don Jon (I can’t resist Joseph Gordon-Levitt; plus, have you seen the reviews?), Enough Said (it looks sweet, and I want to see James Gandolfini’s second-to-last role), and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (because it looks hilarious—and fun).

What movie is next on your list? 

In two weeks, I can’t wait to see this!

TV sitcom floor plans

How cool are these designs from Etsy artist Inaki Aliste Lizarralde? He goes inside the homes of our most beloved sitcom characters—like Monica and Rachel on Friends—to provide detailed layouts of their fictional apartments. I love how New York-sized most of these places actually look (especially Seinfeld). Plus, according to Lizarralde, the famous Friends‘ roommates were quite short on closet space. 🙂

Check out more images from different shows here, and visit Lizarralde’s Etsy shop here.

So clever!

Pumpkin upgrade

I stumbled upon this pumpkin makeover idea over at Yesterday’s Sweetheart—how cute! Matt and I have been talking about carving pumpkins this year. Our new apartment has a big, street-facing window, and we’ve been thinking how cool it would be to have a jack-o-lantern on display and lit up for anyone who passes by to see. This idea for adding glitter to mini white pumpkins is a different way to go, but I love it! I just might give it a try.

Will you celebrate Halloween this year?
