Friday Favorites (48)

Happy Friday! I was really looking forward to staying put all weekend for the first time in what feels like a while, but now I have plans to dash up to Roanoke for a few hours on Sunday to take some photos for a Christmas collaboration with La Crema. But until then I'll be here in Charlotte, relaxing and maybe even hanging up some holiday decorations! I think a viewing of Love Actually is in order.

Here are some links I've been holding on to for a couple of weeks--enjoy!

To Read:

I have a lot of feelings about this: Cinderella Was A Feminist Princess Way Before "Frozen" And "Maleficent" Came Along. Either way, I'm really excited about the Into the Woods movie.
Neil Gaiman on the meaning of fairy tales. Love him, and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of The Sleeper and the Spindle.

To Watch:

I love this polite bear waving. Makes me crack up every time.
Somehow I missed this Regina Spektor music video and it is everything. She is so wonderfully weird and I love her.
I'm really obsessed with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, so this little holiday video made my day.

Food and Drink:

Meet the Flat White, the Coffee Drink Taking the U.S. by Storm--I've seen them here and there but haven't had one yet. What about you? I think they sound perfect.
Anne Hathaway Swaps Vegan Diet for High Protein Paleo-Style Plan...and she feels better! I know it's not a huge deal or anything but I love hearing about celebrities who love Paleo. It makes it feel much more mainstream, which I do think is important.

Other Stuff:

I love the front of this jacket.
More Regina fangirling--how is she so cute?

I always feel a little weird when I freak out over a shirt (like this one) and then realize that it's from a maternity collection. Woops. It's probably because my style generally consists of tops (like this one) that could be mistaken for maternity shirts.
As the year draws to a close, I'd love to get some feedback from my blog readers. If you have a second, I'd really appreciate hearing your opinions here!
