happy friday!

i hope you guys are excited for the weekend!  i will be working, but spent yesterday in a weekend-ish mode and visited this cute + tiny bookstore called hole in the wall books that i just have to share!  it's got the cutest facade, but beware there is very little walking space.  only one person can fit in the "aisle" at the time, but it's basically house repurposed for a bookstore.  they have a great selection of comics and batman does advertising with them {so does superman}.

 when i took high school french, i read my first + only full book called 'le petit prince' {the little prince}.  i was in the store for a good hour or two perusing the shelves, and i remembered i had never read the english version {don't ask me why}.  i asked the kind owner if they had any french books and lo and behold i found it!  he helped me find and identical cover copy of it in the literature section and i promise i was the happiest girl leaving the store that day.  i can't wait to read it en anglais!

 i can't wait to sit down and just read a few books!  i hope you will too.

but for now, here are some links for your weekend:

- okay, seriously subscribe to this kid's channel if you haven't because i will keep posting his videos in these link roundups.  sungha jung's rendition of one more night - maroon 5 is incredible.  {can you tell yet that i love maroon 5?}

- hello, dc coffee shops!  what a fantastic list that includes a few of my favorites: northside social, tryst, and baked and wired.  i can't wait to check these out since the temperature has finally dropped a bit.

- love to cook or wish you were a good one?  check out this foodie community chock full of recipes and an online shop – food52!  i just want to eat up the whole website!

- for those who are always loving new etsy finds, this refinery29 round-up of the best of etsy is a great mix of jewelry + accessories {and it features my internet friend, minna of minco!}

- oh, and this justin bieber song is so easy to get stuck in your head, but i like this slower version of it from sam tsui - as long as you love me {cover of j.biebs}

have a fabulous weekend!
