Good mornin', my Friday. It was a snow fake out last night (we were supposed to get a storm last night, or at least a dusting), but alas, no white stuff. This weekend could get us though, so let's wait and see. I'm ready for my first snow in years...somehow I missed it, but sure that feeling will shortly end...
So I'm going with this Five for Friday thing because I like to shout out five things that made me happy this week...maybe you'll latch on to them too and see how they make you feel.
So here goes- FIVE FOR FRIDAY STARTS NOW.
1. Yes, I finally saw it on a midweek movie date with myself. The opening credits of "Girl with a Dragon Tattoo"- yes the movie was all that, though some scenes were a bit too disturbing for my tastes- but those opening credits were such a beautiful, gooey black and white delight with an accompanying "Immigrant Song" Zep soundtrack courtesy of Karen O. vocals and Trent Reznor production goodness. The whole sequence reminded me a bit of the "Give it Away" video from the Chili Peppers, and was a sexy way to start a movie- love you, Mr.Fincher. Hats off.
2. Mario Badescu Vitamin C serum- ok, ladies. If you are lucky enough to live in the Northeast, you are well aware of the havoc all this canned radiator heat and cold air does to your visage. You MUST run to get this product, which will run you about $45, but worth every penny- you put it on every other night after you wash your face and before you moisturize, and you'll wake up aglow and not the least bit dry. A genius product, and not as strong as some other serums that irritate your skin.

3. The Free City army jacket- Lately I've been dying for an army jacket- it suits my mood to be less put together and more haphazardly chic. This one is way too expensive but I dig the look of it very much...if y'all find a better priced alternative, send it my way and I'll post it. But this one is too cute.

4. The VW Superbowl teaser with the pups- Come on. You know you love it too. I'm wowed by very few ads these days and this one is pretty genius. I can't help but me a sucker for ads with animals- it's cheesy I know, but I can't help myself.

5. Paris versus New York- J'adore! I love the prints, and cant' wait to get my mitts on this book out this month- to me, there is simply no contest, but the comparison is a worthy one and I love the cheeky take on the two cities, with adorable illustrations. I absolutely love Paris, and I beyond love New York, so I love the duality of loveliness of this urban yin and yang. Genius. And the prints start at $24 for the small size, or $41 framed and make a lovely addition to your art deprived walls. I'm getting one or ten of them. Love the graphic, cheeky style- I'm a huge fan of illustration.

Think that's about it- I'm watching the "Today Show" and can't believe these poor girls in upstate New York who have those Tourettes like symptoms. Odd beyond belief. I hope you enjoyed this little round up- looking forward to a weekend with my hubs and dog and lots of love. I'm also starting my business plan on that new idea I've got- more to come on that front soonish...cause that's what's up this five filled Friday in Cobble Hill...happy weekend y'all. XO
