What are you up to this weekend? I\u2019m staying on the North Fork with some friends, and I\u2019m excited to swim in the warm water. (Remember when it was snowy<\/a>??) Hope you have a good one \u2014\u00a0take care \u2014\u00a0and here are a few fun links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n Yummmm, a late-summer pavlova<\/a>.<\/p>\n The movie trailer for Peak Season<\/a> looks fun.<\/p>\n Great news: Banana Republic\u2019s huge summer sale<\/a> is happening until this Monday. This dress<\/a> is perfect for warm evenings and how great are the cuffs on this shirt<\/a>? Use code BRAFF for an extra 10% off.<\/p>\n And Catbird<\/a>, our favorite jewelry brand, is having their big end-of-summer sale<\/a>. The #1 item on my wishlist is this dewdrop ring<\/a>.<\/p>\n Have you seen the giant pigeon on the High Line<\/a>?<\/p>\n You can\u2019t beat an Olympics table tennis player<\/a>.<\/p>\n Is Cruella De Vil iconic<\/a>? \u201cI need a Cruella De Vil cinematic universe. I need a Cruella De Vil cocktail kit. I need a Cruella De Vil edit on Net-A-Porter. Cruella De Vil\u2019s Emma Stone movie should\u2019ve been directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.\u201d<\/p>\n Simone Biles loves her \u201cBlack job.\u201d<\/a> (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n Two comedians talk about how desperately they miss Paris<\/a>, hahahaha. (via Shop Rat<\/a>)<\/p>\n Hunter Harris and Peyton Dix share their career advice<\/a>. \u201cNo one is thinking about you. No one is as hyper-fixated and obsessed with the smallest details of every piece of my work as I am, and that feels sort of freeing. The number of people who notice [a mistake] \u2014 versus the number of people who literally don\u2019t care and who don\u2019t see it as some damning condemnation of my entire life \u2014 is zero. All of that exists only in my own head.\u201d (Elle)<\/p>\n How cool are these surprise ball garlic cloves<\/a>? (via NYMag<\/a>)<\/p>\n I think about this Reductress article<\/a> every couple weeks and laugh every time.<\/p>\n Plus, two reader comments:<\/p>\n Says Hilary on have a delicious weekend<\/a>: \u201cAs a former kid who went to sleepaway camp, I can only offer this: trust him. Trust that he\u2019s having fun, trust that he can manage his emotions if he isn\u2019t, trust that he knows when to ask an adult for something, and trust that he is as cool, brave and interesting to the world as you think he is. He is going to make friends and memories that will last a lifetime. I am 39, and my summer camp weeks were some life highlights, even now!\u201d<\/p>\n Says Johanna on what funny stuff went down when you were a new parent<\/a>: \u201cMy friend and I, with newborns at home, planned a night to hit the town and pretend like we were normal again. Wearing makeup and dresses, we were seven minutes into the Uber when she realized she was still holding a puke-stained sleep sack. She\u2019d been so eager to get out the door she didn\u2019t realize. We have photos of sweet Sam\u2019s sleep sack at all our stops \u2014\u00a0it even got its own barstool. \u2018Table for three, please.’\u201d<\/p>\n Says Savannah on have a delicious weekend<\/a>: \u201cI always want bangs until the moment I have bangs.\u201d<\/p>\n (Photo by Alison Piepmeyer<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
