What are you doing this weekend? We are picking apples and visiting friends on the North Fork. This place is gorgeous and cider-y! I’m also looking forward to speaking with Marian Schemvari about her amazing memoir about being diagnosed with autism at age 34. If you’re interested, please join us this Monday at 7pm at Barnes and Noble at 82nd and Broadway. I would appreciate any good links. Here are some fun links from around the web…
I’m really into this sweater trend.

Beth Kalb’s advice columns always make me laugh. “I try not to write about the actual children in case someone reads this one day, but let me just say that I know a certain young man very well. We met five years ago at Cedars-Sinai when I expelled him from my body.”
Now you have your dream bedroom (wooden beams, pillow salad, soaking tub).

Finally, this week’s Big Salad features nine of our favorite things from creative director Ali LaBelle and a tour of her California home that looks straight out of the English countryside. Plus, she shares cool rugby shirts, funny podcasts, travel strategies, and the three-word method to finding your style.
Additionally, two comments from readers:
Ali describes a friend of mine’s embarrassing run-in with Ethan Hawke: I pulled up to the curb while my dog went about his business. As Ethan walked past us, my husband looked him in the eye and said, “It’s time to poop.” It was frustrating. ”
Mimi shares four fun things: Instead of the usual advice to help her fit in, I told her that the noise and music might make dancing overwhelming. I told her that if she needed to come home early, she could text me and I would be fine. While she was processing this, something passed between us, like I felt like I was being watched. She told me later that she was definitely overstimulated, but she found a chair and read on her Kindle until her friend was ready. Adorable. I am so grateful that Marian’s wonderful book has helped me understand my daughter better. ”
