Strong Week Links 13

How cool are the Bird-of-paradise prints of Fendi's Cruise 2016 collection? Tim Blanks' review is worth reading as always.

Flipping out over the delicious rosewater notes of Amaro Montenegro. It's named after a princess, known as 'the liqueur of the virtues' and perfect for summer.

Also perfect for summer? These Prada and Céline-inspired ice creams by Coolhaus. Seriously, the Céline Coconut Negroni Ice Cream sounds amazing and I might have to make it.

If you love tassels, as I do, you should check out Takara Design jewelry.

If Madewell is the new J. Crew, what's the new Madewell?

It's from a while ago, but we watched this PBS documentary on Peter, Paul and Mary this weekend and it was pretty amazing. They were so committed to their music and the causes they sang about, and have such an amazing focus and intensity in their harmonies. Plus, Mary Travers was a true original and a major babe.

As if I could love Terry Gross anymore, last week on Fresh Air she featured a hilarious interview with herself by Marc Maron, in which she revealed the cutest things (she and her husband eat breakfast together every Saturday morning and pick out a record to listen to), the most heartfelt things (why she can ask her interviewees about illness and the end of life, but can't discuss the same things with friends), and the coolest things (she and her husband have so much vinyl it sounds like they basically live in a record store, and she got her start doing a '70s feminist radio show). She is a national treasure.

A cool print by artist Ali Beletic.

J. Crew has revealed its latest capsule collections in collaboration with CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners and runners up. I'm especially excited about Ryan Roche's knits in her signature shades of washed out pink (Paul Anderson's sandals look pretty cool too). They launch June 3rd but are available now for pre-order.

Kind of love fancy versions of regular household items.
