Friday Favorites

1. Does anyone else pour over the Social Q’s column each week like I do? {New York Times}

2. A guide to London’s secret gardens. {Elle Decoration}

3. In praise of slowness and getting back to the Age of Leisure. {Kinfolk}

4. I read this nodding my head over and over again. The Amal frenzy compared to the CBK obsession. {Town & Country}

5. Birthday season is nearly upon our little family: naked cake inspiration. {Style Me Pretty}

I feel the same way that it’s Friday as you do here, Ms. Hepburn. Shoes kicked off, leaping and all.
