What are you up to this weekend? My friend is throwing his 50th birthday party in a garden, and I\u2019m planning to wear this floral dress<\/a> or striped dress<\/a>. (Thoughts?) Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so happy to share this personal news<\/a> (gift link), and eight things Parisians are wearing this spring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wow, this London apartment<\/a> does not<\/em> feel basement-y.<\/p>\n

Love a crunchy chicken salad<\/a>!<\/p>\n

FYI, 12-year-old Anton<\/a> told me that The Sign<\/a> by Ace of Base is cool again.<\/p>\n

Maggie O\u2019Farrell\u2019s new book, Land<\/a>, is out in four days. I was lucky enough to score an advanced copy, and it\u2019s easy one of the best books I\u2019ve ever read. The writing is so juicy<\/em>, that\u2019s the best word to describe it.<\/p>\n

Smart notes on chilling out<\/a> and being tall<\/a> and finding luck<\/a>. (This<\/a> also made me laugh.)<\/p>\n

My favorite jeans have been out of stock forever, but they\u2019re finally back in stock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The secret to adult friendships<\/a>. Also, the secret to winning on Jeopardy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another reason to love Mayor Mamdani: He launched an interactive list<\/a> of FREE things to do in NYC this summer.<\/p>\n

What I learned about loss while skateboarding at Costco.<\/a> \u201cWhat I love about Costco is that it is the perfect expression of how skateboarders can turn even the blandest form of American architecture \u2014 the big box parking lot \u2014 into a thriving community space. At a time when people are lonely and disconnected, a bunch of 40- and 50-year-olds gather around low-stakes terrain, reconnecting with old friends and joking about tricks they can no longer do.\u201d This essay was surprisingly moving. (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n

This mirror mask made me look<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Art but make it sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plus, three reader comments:<\/p>\n

Says Becky on a potato chip taste test<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m British so would usually lay claim to the best crisps internationally, but last year I went to Paris and found butter-flavored crisps in a corner shop. Butter. Flavored. Crisps. No wonder those guys have such excellent sex, they must be permanently ecstatic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Anon on how would you envision your wedding<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m a divorc\u00e9e with no desire to remarry, but I am moving in with my partner of about a decade soon and was thinking I might throw a \u2018this is not wedding\u2019 housewarming party and wear an outfit inspired by these fantastic white overalls<\/a> from the CoJ archives!\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Suz on how amazing are these wedding photos<\/a>: \u201cMy favorite wedding photos were taken by a six-year-old who took his job (and his mom\u2019s old digital camera) very seriously! He went up to everyone at the reception and informed them that he was a wedding photographer. So, we have all these pictures of people making \u2018oh how adorable!\u2019 faces at the most unflattering angles possible. They\u2019re wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n
