It's a road trip weekend!

Here's a recap of my week in instagrams - it all started off at National Harbor on a beautiful Sunday.  The weather's been warming up here (at least temporarily - DC is very bipolar), which means meals outside (like my fabulous lunch break at Bethesda Bagel), gelato treats from Boccato, and shifts in the wardrobe - cue the skirts & shorts!

Also, I've recently been addicted to Indian food, so much so that I think I have one meal/week that's comprised of butter chicken, naan, curry...mmm.  I'm making myself hungry, but that's beside the point.  So my Indian meal of the week was Aditi - I love their buffet lunch special - but this time I went for a late dinner with some friends and it was quite glorious.  Alright!  Enough about food - now some links for your weekend:

+ Here's another online magazine for y'all - Sweet Paul.  Lots of recipes (egg yolk-y goodness and baguettes!) and crafty things for Easter for the young ones and grown-ups too.

+ Have you heard of Ruche?  It's an online shop with tons of vintage-inspired pieces.  They've been around for a few years now and announced that they're launching a wedding line on March 19!  Head over to Green Wedding Shoes to see a sneak peek.

+ Don't forget to check out Kate Spade's new watch collection and TOMS' eyewear collection (I'm loving their sunglasses!).

+ Bright.Bazaar (he's a young colour lover in UK) turned 3 this week! (not him - the blog, silly!)  Check out his lemon, sky blue, and coral birthday party tablescape styled by Manvi of Mochatini; all things paper were designed by Claudia.  I love the pinwheels, typewriter and matchboxes!  What a great team.

I'm quite excited for the weekend - taking a mini-road trip to Charlottesville with one of my housemates to visit a dear friend. Hopefully I'll finally get to stop by Rock Paper Scissors.  Every time I've gone to this lovely paper store it's been on a Sunday, which is quite unfortunate because they're closed and all I can do is peer through the darkened glass windows and look sadly upon their cute window displays.  Okay, so maybe it's not that dramatic, but twice now this has happened and I'm just itching to go.  

Though my weekend probably won't look exactly like this, it'll be a good break to just drive and be somewhere a little slower paced than DC.  Have a happy weekend!
