Weekend Reads: Links to the Strange and the Beautiful

What's on your agenda this weekend? My plan is to not have a plan, natch! The past few weekends have ended up being a bit stressful for various reasons. I hope this weekend will be low-key...
  • I 'plan' to: eat a nice, healthy meal at The Local Table, and do some *light* reading [I've been obsessively pouring over all of Alexandra Stoddard's books].
  • I hope to: be able to spend several hours lounging around with my boyfriend and relaxing...maybe by the pool.
  • I need to: decide whether or not I can make a trip to NYC in August -- my birthday and my sister's birthday [she lives in Brooklyn] are both in August and we usually try to be together...
  • I wish: I had cable, so I could watch "True Blood" -- everyone is talking about it, and I feel so out-of-the-loop!
*****************************************

Here are some links I've loved this week -- hope you love them, too:



♥ Wonderful, albeit slightly creepy animated videos of poets "reciting" their works at Poetic Oneirism.

♥ Another fabulous book list, this time from Paul Pincus [a man of exquisite taste]


♥ Lovely illustrations of American women authors by Alicia Traveria

♥ A stunning selection of vintage shoes at 1860-1960


♥ Gender reversals of famous literary works by artists Daniela Comani

♥ Top 2009 perfume picks so far on 1000 Fragrances


♥ Telling Tales is an incredible design exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum

♥ Two gorgeous men, bringing their own Street Etiquette to the world of fashion.

I plan to: watch HP again with a friend, enjoy having a freshly cleaned-out closet and play around with my blog layout.

I hope to: figure out what to do with all those old fashion magazines I've got lying around.

I need to: clean the bathroom. Boring, but true.

I wish: I could stop wishing I had more money and could shop as much as I like. Does that mean I'm a shopoholic? :p

Have a lovely weekend, darling one!

I will be watching True Blood this weekend. It's equal parts good and terrible but I can't seem to help watching it.
