Are you as ready for this weekend as I am? I have to work both days, but it's the good kind of work, involving butterflies and petits fours! These images from the Current/Elliott Spring 2010 lookbook perfectly capture my ideal weekend vibe: laid-back and playful no matter what's on the agenda!
I'm probably biased because Current/Elliott has been my go-to weekend wear for two years running. Their boyfriend jeans hold a permanent place of honor in my wardrobe, and last year's shorts saw so much action that it might be time to replace them with a new--yet perfectly pre-distressed--pair.
It also helps that these pics boast an undeniable 'nautical with a twist' appeal. A cross between 1920's seaside postcard and slummy dockworker, they make me want to abandon my landlubber life and take up residence on a houseboat. An extremely well appointed houseboat, of course...
But most of all it's the textures. The impossibly soft denim that I know to be Current/Elliot's claim to fame; the breezy, sun bleached cotton voile, the linen and canvas that scream 'Put down that computer and go find an adventure!' Is there anything more Saturday appropriate than that?
So bring on the weekend! In addition to butterflies and petits fours, mine will feature marbled paper, vintage teacups, and pinstripes galore. Mysterious, right? Don't worry, it will all be revealed in due time! Tell me: what's on your to-do list for the weekend?
P.S. More Current/Elliott and nautical inspiration, the best banana bread you'll ever eat, my favorite springtime flowers, and Fair Trade shopping on eBay. Enjoy some glorious R&R my friends!

Anything in red and white stripes is divine to me! Sounds like a glorious weekend! Mine will consist of reading, getting a pedicure, and enjoying the early spring outdoors!

I love them all...If it is not raining. I will be on the Ocean sailing with friends in Newport. And, a few hours of cycling. In case of rain...Try to Horse back ride inside. Trying to learn to jump. So far, I am having an easier with my flying a plane than getting the courage to getting a horse to jump. And, I have been riding since I was 10 yrs. old!! Anne, have a lovely weekend. ~maureen
