Happy August! Actually, it's not so happy for me. While I'm sick of the heat and am starting to crave cooler temperatures, I can't help but notice it's getting dark earlier…meaning sad winter days are coming. Why can't it be May year-round? I love May since you have the whole summer ahead of you! Anyway, here are this week's links.
– Apartment Therapy shares five new museums opening this fall. How I wish mine were one of them!
– While not as great as the original Postcards from Sailor Babo, I was delighted to discover that there is a blog dedicated to Cookie Chef Babo. Squeeee!
– According to Forbes, Baltimore is a "cool" city, but residents (including me) have their doubts.
On the beauty front:
– Don't believe the hype – I'm sure this new fragrance cannot actually help you lose weight.
– I am, however, intrigued by this new Comme des Garcons perfume – notes of gunpowder and smoke sound perfect for fall.
– I don't see why hoarding makeup brushes would be a problem.
– Meet the $250,000 nail polish that contains crushed diamonds. Only one bottle will be produced. Even if I had money to burn I'm not sure I'd go for this. Or at least, I certainly wouldn't wear it.
– Finally, you know my affinity for anything miniature, so this manicure is right up my alley!
