Happy weekend to you! My mom came to visit for a few more days this week and we've been busy cooking and finally unpacking the last of the boxes from Minneapolis. This apartment is finally starting to feel like home! I've been busy with a freelance project, as well, so I'm ready to spend a couple of days doing a whole lot of nothing with Rob.

Here are a few links I wanted to share with you this Friday afternoon. Enjoy!

To Read:

• I'm so excited about Lena Dunham's book coming out next week!
• Seriously got passion eyes over this cover story on Adam Driver. He's my favorite in Girls and the more I learn about him, the more I like him. He was fantastic in This is Where I Leave You, which I went to see the other day.
• Last week, we talked about our favorite books for fall on The Eighty Twenty.

To Watch:

• Cutest thing ever--All These Dogs Want To Do Is Tuck Their Baby Best Friends Into Bed.
• I always love Pentatonix's covers--this Ariana Grande one is no exception!
• 5 Movies to See in the Near Future, Parts One and Two--have you seen any of these yet?

Wish List

• The perfect fall skirt.
• My dream wardrobe consists of one of these sweaters for every day of the week.
• Let's talk about these shoes.
• I hate that this dress is out of stock--I think it would be perfect for a winter date night!

Other Stuff

• Loving Joelle's new website design! And I can't wait to make some candles after seeing her wonderful video tutorial. 
• Have you checked out fitBallet yet?
• Neil Patrick Harris is officially off the market! So happy to read about their wedding a few weeks ago. I love him and David Burtka and their cute kids!
• Do any of you ever use The Bouqs? I've ordered from them a few times and always had such a great experience. The flowers are gorgeous, and you can use that link to redeem a $10 credit!
• Natasha is such a sweetheart and I love keeping up with her on her blog!

Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend!

My brother came to visit us in Charlotte last week and we made plans to cook a huge meal together. Sean is great at making even the most regular of things feel really special, and we love cooking together, so obviously I decided to go all out and attempt to roast a duck.

Even though it seemed a bit intimidating at first, everything came together into a beautiful meal and such a fun way to celebrate the beginning of fall in our new place! La Crema was nice enough to send us a few bottles of pinot noir, too, so that didn't hurt.

Thanks to La Crema for sponsoring this post. Visit their blog to get our roast duck recipe!

The weather here in Charlotte has cooled down considerably this week, and as excited as I am to don leggings and sweaters and scarves, I still enjoy the occasional sundress. These photos are from several weeks ago, when it was still in the 80s or 90s every day.

I went through OMG White Dress Obsession when I was planning my wedding and ended up with a few too many white pieces for showers, brunches, and even our reception's after party, but I'm pleased to announce that this one has been worn several times for non-wedding related reasons.
