{have a wonderful weekend + links}

. . . late saturday afternoon and after last weekend's whirlwind trip to nyc, slowing things down just a little and happily spending much-needed time at home . . . there are no cases to pack or flights to catch, only long and leisurely conversations over dinners in favourite restaurants, late mornings sipping coffee and flipping through glossy magazines and warm nights under falling stars . . .

hope you're having a perfectly wonderful weekend and that it's beautiful where you are,
xo
