Hanukkah meets Thanksgiving aka Thanksukkah

Happy Hanukkah and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Since they fall on the same day this year, some people are being really cute about it.

So, here are our favorite Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Thanksukkah links. Enjoy them, and each other, to the fullest!

The New York times know how to do Thanksgiving.

And Hanukkah.

An adorable play menorah! If it’s wrong to be an adult and still want one, we don’t want to be right.

Mar y Sol & the little gold dress

Here’s the week’s lovely list of links to help you give back, live well, pick a wine, and travel in style. Have a full and wonderful weekend!

Mar y Sol designs are so amazing, and so is the story, and the mission. Check out their vibrant fair trade bags, hats and pillows. We love beautiful things that make the world better!

We love a good party outfit, and this gold dress and hairstyle are so amazing! We might save this one for the “official” holidays, though.

A fun little flow chart for choosing a wine.

You gotta love fancy sweatshirts.

“Drinks I want to try,” from Bleubird blog.

Nine pumpkin recipes.

Heirloom-quality travel gear that’s meant to last forever and age beautifully. (Great wedding gift!)

And on the other end of the spectrum, 30 bags that look expensive, but aren’t.

Happy reading!

We love: Pét-Nat & cool typography

This week it’s all about the novel, the new, the unexpected. We want to see something (and show you something) we’ve never seen before.

So here’s to a weekend filled with adventure and exploration!

Thinking of decorating with typography? Check this out.

Thinking of finding your signature scent? Go here.

Thinking of letting your inner child come out and play? Here’s how to do it fashionably.

Thinking of blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors? Check out these fantasy bathrooms! So dreamy.

Have you had Pét-Nat? It’s French, a bit like Champagne, and as lovers all all things bubbly we need to try it ASAP!

There’s a nice interactive feature in the NY Times on summer drinks. The gin and tonic with grapefruit looks especially refreshing.

Do you always rely on a recipe when cooking? Here’s a self-help cookbook to help you break free.

This is cool. Wouldn’t you love to try it with a family member?

Happy 2013!

What will New Year’s Eve look like for you? We’re keeping it a little more intimate this year, but it wouldn’t be New Year’s without a little sparkle.

Looking back on 2012…

Go on, we dare you. Check out the Polar Bear Club’s Coney Island dip, by Brooklyn photographer/designer Jenna Park.

We’re loving the New York Times’ slideshow of 2012’s best book covers, selected by book cover designers.

And speaking of slideshows, Food & Wine’s Champagne cocktails look so pretty, we can’t settle on just one!

Looking forward to 2013…

Planning a wedding? Check out this New Year’s Eve wedding inspiration.

A bold New Year’s resolution for brides to be.

And finally, from one of our Facebook friends, a vintage reminder that beautiful songs and beautiful ideas endure.

Auld Lang Syne, my friends. See you next year!

We Love: Wedding Music & Red Dresses

Winters on Long Island remind us of Milton Avery’s late seascapes. Quiet, muted colors with a subtle shimmer, and his trademark simple composition.

According to Mark Rothko, Milton Avery’s artistic repertoire was a lot like ours: his living room, Central Park, his wife Sally, his daughter March, the beaches and mountains where they summered. We totally identify. This winter it’s all about things that are close to our hearts and close to home.

Here’s our weekly snapshot of fun from around the web.

‘Tis the season for red dresses.

‘Tis also the season for reindeer cookies!

Yet another way to be everyone’s favorite guest? These great New York wines have the best labels. Especially the winter-chic 2010 Clones.

If you’re putting together a wedding playlist, check out the 50 greatest hip hop songs of all time.

We’re also loving these fabulous sashes to accessorize a wedding dress.

Here’s another good one for wedding planning. Champagne’s less-expensive, just-as-sparkly cousins.

Of a Kind is so much fun to browse. Every single thing on the site is a crazy cool limited edition.

How cute and funny are these?

Stay warm this weekend! See you Monday.
