I mean, come on.

Fratctured Fretzels (thank you, Melissa!)

Thanks so much to Molly for giving me the heads-up about GTLI, which works "to help indigenous people acquire the resources and skills to ensure their long term survival while maintaining their traditional cultural values."

If you'd like to support the cause (learn more about GTLI here), there are tons and tons of beautiful hand-beaded bracelets (perfect for stacking!) for sale. They're just $10-$12, and 100% of the purchase price goes to the women of the Hamar tribe (in Ethiopia) to help them provide food for their families.

Pottery Barn Kids is now selling Very Hungry Caterpillar bedding.

That's all I got.

Midsummer, as it turns out, is a great time to shop for heavily discounted bridesmaids' dresses. And sure, most of the pieces on sale are the "summery" colors, but pale silvers, jewel tones and grey/lilac shades can work beautifully for fall and winter weddings, as well - picture that orange one-shoulder dress below worked into an autumn palette of chocolate and gold.

Bastille Day was technically on Thursday, but hey: that's close enough to the weekend, and any excuse to eat crepes, right?

Check out BrunchCritic's list of NYC crepe spots here (including Norma's, Yorkville Creperie, and Yo In Yo Out Diner), or click here to make your own (still deciding which direction to head in myself). Other foodie ideas: cheeses at Artisanal, cocktails at Brasserie Beaumarchais, or French toast at The New French.

And there are Bastille Day celebrations at the Novotel in Times Square all day today; click here to learn more.
