Get: Adorable bowls
I picked up these bowls at Anthropologie this week and have since fallen totally in love with them. I love the pretty pastel colours and how they remind me of what ought to be used at a fifties ice cream parlour. Ah, the little things.
Watch: Exit through the gift shop
If you haven't heard of Banksy by now, one quick Google search is all it takes to understand what all the fuss is about. This secretive artist is amazing and this documentary- although never revealing Banksy's true identity- gives viewers an inside look at both the passion and risk involved in creating memorable street art. Apparently, the film has been accused of falling into the genre of "prankumentary" (think Catfish and I'm still here) but the jury's still out on that one. In my opinion, it's an incredible movie... even if Banksy is getting the last laugh somewhere.
Love: This
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, Paul surprised me by having a ton of our favourite photos printed. I'm all for Facebook and Flickr, but there's something about having a good old 4 by 6 to hold in your hands. Let the hunt for cute frames begin...
Shop: Joe Fresh
My friends and I love Joe Fresh. Who cares if the stores are located inside a huge supermarket, it makes grocery shopping that much more fun. The clothes are cute, cheerful and insanely affordable. Fourteen dollar t-shirts? Sign me up!
Go: New York, New York
It's true, this birdie's going to the Big Apple! We're heading down Thursday for the weekend and let's just say I'm more than a little excited. Neither Paul or I have ever been so we plan on taking in most of the major sites (camera-around-neck-dorkiness included). At the top of my list are the Kandinsky exhibit at the Guggenheim and dinner here (reservations have even been made). If anyone can think of anything I must do, see or eat while I'm there, please let me know!
Happy Sunday! xo
Awesome Robin!
ReplyDeleteHow are you and Paul getting to NYC?
Such a cool city, make sure you do top of the rock and affordable, its amazing!
Enjoy your trip!
Such cute photos! What a sweet Valentine's Day gift.
ReplyDeleteA few of my coworkers were just talking about Exit Through the Gift Shop and how awesome it was. I definitely need to watch it soon.
NYC! Yay! Man, I have so many recommendations. If you like ramen, you MUST (MUST!) go to Momofuku Noodle Bar. It's amazing. Also, keep an eye out for the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck -- these guys make amazing sundaes, cones, etc., but you have to follow them on Twitter to know where they're going to be. For art, the Moma is also very cool. HAVE FUN!
I love nyc!! Omg you have to go see a broadway show I recommend Avenue Q or American Idiot if puppets aren't your thing ;) Have a fantastic time!!
ReplyDeleteGo see a Broadway show! I saw Phantom of the Opera there and it was a.m.a.z.i.n.g! Also, spend a lot of time walking and exploring the city. There's no better way to experience a place then by walking...a lot. ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree that Momofuku is worth checking out in NYC!
