I'm in love with this girl on Garance Dore. She looks beautiful and cozy in her A.P.C. coat. And big congrats to Garance for the glowing mention in the New York Times Magazine!
Do you ever find yourself in a museum thinking, "Hey, I could do that"? Well, Flavorpill just published a rad feature about recreating famous photos. See the awesome slideshow here. (P.S. It's harder than it looks!)
I'm at my sister's house in San Francisco, and we're about to eat Mexican dip. Easy times! I just wanted to show you this cute poster by Emma and Mike (of wedding fame). Happy almost New Year! xo
Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for such a wonderful year and for being so supportive of Cup of Jo and Smitten. It means so much to me, and it has been so much fun to have you here. Love, Joanna xoxo
Have a wonderful break! Where will you be spending the holidays? Alex and I are heading to California to see our families. See you in a week!
This week, Alex and I watched Surfwise, which tells the story of Dorian Paskowitz and his wife Juliette, who drove their nine children around in a camper and made them surf all day. It was a surprising and thought-provoking film, and I'd put it up there with Deep Water, Man on Wire and American Teen as one of the best documentaries in recent years. Have you seen it?
Here's a weekly round-up from Smitten, my Glamour Magazine relationships blog...
My lovelies, as a final holiday gift, I'd love to do one more giveaway. Beklina is offering this gorgeous scarf. Made from 100% Australian untreated merino wool, the dark gray scarf feels like cashmere. Perfect for those chilly winter days.
My dears, as a little holiday present for you, I'd love to do another giveaway this week. Elizabeth from Twig is giving away this fabulous calendar by Swedish illustrator Camilla Engman.
Gustafson Porter created this balloon canopy for the Venice Architectural Biennale, using just helium balloons and shade cloths. Wouldn't it be amazing for an outdoor party? You'd just have to hope it wasn't windy...
Yesterday, I wrote about wedding veils, but today I stumbled upon another gorgeous one. And look at her fluffy jacket!
For some reason, I haven't posted about home design in ages, but I was thrilled to stumble upon this lovely place yesterday. Isn't it the perfect balance of bright white and cheery color?
This wedding at City Hall in San Francisco was beautiful. She looks like an elegant 1940's bride in her veil. I have been eyeing a similar one on etsy for a while. What do you guys think? xo
I'm loving these jam flavors from Lemon Bird -- such as orange and dark chocolate with cardamom; fig with honey and cinnamon, and cherry with honey and balsamic vinegar. They all sound so delicious! Perfect last-minute Christmas presents for the person who has everything, methinks.... xoxo
