What are you up to this weekend? I’m staying on the North Fork with some friends, and I’m excited to swim in the warm water. (Remember when it was snowy??) Hope you have a good one — take care — and here are a few fun links from around the web…
Yummmm, a late-summer pavlova.
The movie trailer for Peak Season looks fun.
Great news: Banana Republic’s huge summer sale is happening until this Monday. This dress is perfect for warm evenings and how great are the cuffs on this shirt? Use code BRAFF for an extra 10% off.
And Catbird, our favorite jewelry brand, is having their big end-of-summer sale. The #1 item on my wishlist is this dewdrop ring.
Have you seen the giant pigeon on the High Line?
You can’t beat an Olympics table tennis player.
Is Cruella De Vil iconic? “I need a Cruella De Vil cinematic universe. I need a Cruella De Vil cocktail kit. I need a Cruella De Vil edit on Net-A-Porter. Cruella De Vil’s Emma Stone movie should’ve been directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.”
Simone Biles loves her “Black job.” (NYTimes gift link)
Two comedians talk about how desperately they miss Paris, hahahaha. (via Shop Rat)
Hunter Harris and Peyton Dix share their career advice. “No one is thinking about you. No one is as hyper-fixated and obsessed with the smallest details of every piece of my work as I am, and that feels sort of freeing. The number of people who notice [a mistake] — versus the number of people who literally don’t care and who don’t see it as some damning condemnation of my entire life — is zero. All of that exists only in my own head.” (Elle)

I think about this Reductress article every couple weeks and laugh every time.
Plus, two reader comments:
Says Hilary on have a delicious weekend: “As a former kid who went to sleepaway camp, I can only offer this: trust him. Trust that he’s having fun, trust that he can manage his emotions if he isn’t, trust that he knows when to ask an adult for something, and trust that he is as cool, brave and interesting to the world as you think he is. He is going to make friends and memories that will last a lifetime. I am 39, and my summer camp weeks were some life highlights, even now!”
Says Johanna on what funny stuff went down when you were a new parent: “My friend and I, with newborns at home, planned a night to hit the town and pretend like we were normal again. Wearing makeup and dresses, we were seven minutes into the Uber when she realized she was still holding a puke-stained sleep sack. She’d been so eager to get out the door she didn’t realize. We have photos of sweet Sam’s sleep sack at all our stops — it even got its own barstool. ‘Table for three, please.’”
Says Savannah on have a delicious weekend: “I always want bangs until the moment I have bangs.”
