By popular demand, here is where you can get that pom-pom hat (I don’t see it on their site, but give them a ring and they’ll send it to you). Also, in this photo we are at a cafe called Riposo, and if you go to New York anytime around brunchtime please go there and order the Sicilian Eggs Benedict.
These leggings are so weird. And yet I like them. This confuses me.
Never before in my life have I given any particular amount of thought to my “lower torso,” and yet, thanks to Sports Illustrated, I am not only thinking about it, I am seeing it. A lot of it. (And in case you weren’t aware, “lower torso” is a euphemism.) (The Latest Body Part For Women To Fix, via The NY Times.)
This dress is so chic I can’t stand it, and seems strangely practical. (In red please.)
Today in Things I Never Thought I’d Say: I completely love Lady Gaga’s wedding ring (above). Huh. (via The Gloss.)
“It’s true that babies born to women who smoke are smaller. But some women want smaller babies.” That’s a real sentence (albeit one spoken in 1971). Guess who said it? THE CEO OF PHILIP MORRIS. Related: stop. smoking. now. Also related: John Oliver is the best (you have to watch his video on the history of tobacco regulation.) (via Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.)
I understand none of the science behind this article, but apparently studies have shown that cannabis use can treat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s? Take it for what it’s worth – it’s an article from a pro-pot website – but if there’s even a smidgen of truth here: interesting. (via Alternet.)
What to get the parents-to-be who already have everything? A burrito blanket, of course.
I don’t own this shirt, but I feel like if I did I would probably live in it.
“The protective effect [of vaccination] on a population only kicks in when a certain portion of the population is vaccinated…At one Google day care, only 40% of children are completely vaccinated.” What. Is going. On? (The Sickeningly Low Vaccination Rates At Silicon Valley Daycares, via Wired.)
I cannot stop eating this Caprese Pasta lately, and that is 99% because I recently discovered Pure Mountain’s Meyer Lemon Olive Oil (it’s a shop in my town, but they sell their stuff online too). Oh my god it is SO GOOD. (How you make this dish: just combine cooked pasta, fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, a little fresh basil, lemon olive oil and good-quality sea salt.)
Want to see me read 50 Shades Of Grey out loud? Of couuuurse you do. (via SheKnows.)
For those of you who like the blue Alexis Bittar lucite earrings I’ve been wearing constantly lately but don’t like the price tag, I found a similar – and, I think, just as pretty – pair for much less.
Where am I? What day is it? What is going on? (I’m not at this particular milestone yet with my daughter, but oh my god am I looking forward to it.) (10 Thoughts Every Parent Has When Their Baby Sleeps Through The Night, via Mommyish.)
This Lanvin wedding dress has a classic shape but unusual tailoring, and would look crazy elegant on the right person.
Why thank you, Pinterest, for this helpful little infographic. (I’m a Balcony girl, myself.)
Speaking of Pinterest, this pin has my favorite description I have ever read. Ever.
Also speaking of Pinterest, wow are people ever mad about the affiliate link removal thing. I don’t have a ton of thoughts on this one because while I’ve pinned affiliate images from time to time Pinterest has always been pretty much a straight-up fun outlet for me (Instagram, too), less about monetization than about…I don’t know, pretending I live in a castle with exposed beams or something. But I’m wondering what your thoughts are on this. If you’re a blogger, are you mad about this? If you’re a reader, did the presence of affiliate links on Pinterest bug you? Just curious, because it seems like errrrybody is freaking out about it.
P.S. Happy birthday, Dad. I love you.
