1. Elegant yet rustic Toronto living room, featured on
Lark + Linen:
Between the never ending stack of firewood in the corner, the bright blooms on the coffee table, and the vintage gold-framed mirror above the fireplace, this living room screams "live in me!", or at least, "come hang out in me!". P.S. How 'bout those plush white-fur covered chairs?
2.
HelloGiggles.
Loving Zooey Deschanel, Sophia Rossi, and Molly McAleer's fresh new blog. It's like having the Funnies section of the newspaper available 24-7. From videos of animals doing outlandish things (who doesn't appreciate a
monkey riding backwards on a pig?) to hilarious editorial pieces (
Top 10 Disney Outfits), this site has it all. No guys required.
3. Guilty dessert plates, featured on
Cupcakes and Cashmere
I hope this comes in a set and has other ones saying other guilt-inducing questions and phrases like, "Did you really need that last piece of cake?" and "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips."

What Your American Girl Doll Says About Your Life ?, by Chiara Atik
A must-read for any girl, who, in 2nd-5th grade had an American Girl doll, or wanted one. (For the record, I had a Samantha -and a doll "like me", but I admired Felicity's spunk and thought Molly's glasses were pretty sweet.)
5. Curling up with a good book
Nerd alert: I have finished 4 books in the past 2 weeks. Between the entire
Hunger Games series, and
Something Borrowed
(almost done with
Something Blue
!), I have had a hard time focusing on much else (except dominating Boggle on my ipad and finding a new job, of course). Go to the bookstore, or your Kindle, Nook, or Ipad download section, and download all of the above ASAP. (And yes, The Hunger Games were written for "young adults"
i.e. my 14 year old brother read them all and loved them, but anyone in their right mind will find themselves addicted to the world of Panem.)
I hope everyone enjoys their first June weekend!
