Happy Friday! I hope your jazzed about the weekend.

Four for Friday

'Sup, guys?  Happy it's Friday?  Yeps.  Me too!  I'm going to try to chill out this weekend.  Maybe grab a cozy brunch with a work buddy.  Maybe start a new book. Maybe go for a walk in the snow (Yes sir! Forecast says we get snow-y tomorrow!).  I also want to get over to RH Gallery where my sister has a handful of paintings in the Single Fare show.

Matisse For Monday

Post Nemo weekend and all's well.  Friday was sort of nutz-o but I had an incredible weekend... checked out two local watering wells: Post Office and Dram. Dinned at Zizi Limona (amaze-derful sangria) and brunched at Roebling Tea Room and Landmarc.  Saw the Matisse show at the MET.  Hiked a snowy Central Park with my cousin.  Chilled out with friends in their cozy apartment (with this view!!!) and watched this movie (finally) then baked cookies.  : )  

Now NYC is washing the snow away with buckets of rain.  It's a busy week for me, work-wise and personally.  I'll try to check in as often as possible, chickens!  Chat with you soon!

Mmmm Meatless

Head over to one of my most favoritest sites evah, Manifest Vegan!  Allyson is giving away the Meatless (Martha) cookbook : )

Four for Friday

Herro guys!  The week is winding down.  I've got a busy weekend planned.  Going to a lecture tonight, a double-birthday bash on Saturday, building some shelves and painting the apartment, tackling taxes and some illustration projects.  Then Sunday is... brunch with another birthday girl.  Did you think I was going to mention football.  Ha.  No.  Not to offend, but there are about a million-zillion better uses of my time.

- Love these hair tutorials!  Found via Because I'm Addicted.

- Gorgeous vintage Japanese magazine covers!  Found via 101 Cookbooks.

- Puff pastry garlic knots and mini pizzas.  Perfect for game day.  (And super YUM.)

- Fab online mag Rue has now debuted a website!
