What are you up to this weekend? I’m excited to see this musical. Any other plays you’d recommend? “Oh, Mary!” looks incredible. (The New York Times called it “one of the best crafted and most exactingly directed Broadway comedies in years.”) Hope you have a good one, and here are a few fun links from around the web…

Clare Vivier’s house is full of stripes.
All my fashion friends are wearing this nail polish color.

Plus, two reader comments:
Says Sarah on 5 fun things I noticed around Brooklyn: “Enjoying this season as a cross-country mom to my very introverted freshman who is trying new things! I have to restrain myself from hugging each kid as they finish the race. Also, specifically: driving home from tonight’s race, the big Midwestern sky after a rain with the sun setting, my teens in the backseat singing along to the radio, with my husband driving. Soaking up these last few years all together and telling myself the sage advice from Kurt Vonnegut: ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’”
Says Rose on a fall playlist: “I just turned on this playlist up and opened the windows allll the way. Partly to see if there are any other CoJ readers in my neighborhood.”
