Hump Day Happy: Make, Read, Buy, Go

The three-day weekend cannot get here any sooner, but until it does, I'm keeping myself occupied on this lovely hump day with an assortment of distractions.

1. MAKE: {Pistachio, Mint and Spice Crusted Lamb Chops with Yogurt-Mint Sauce}, served with a side of {Cous-cous}. Yum!

2. READ: Oh, hello there, Blake Mycoskie, you {shiny, happy person} you.

3. BUY: To celebrate the 70th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald's death, Penguin Books came out with a {six-volume hardcover set} of his most beloved novels. I love books, but I love them just a little bit more when they're wrapped in pretty, patterned foil.



4. GO: One of my favorite events, the {Annual Winter Antiques Show}, is at the Park Avenue Armory from January 20 - 29, 2012. Tickets are on sale now for $20. You should go, not only to be in the presence of young fashionistas who love old things, but also because its for a great cause (it benefits the East Side Settlement House, a community center in the Bronx).
