How breathtaking is this framed triptych photograph of U.S. diver Patricia McCormick doing a springboard high dive at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics? (She won the gold.) Can you imagine this hanging in a home? Beautiful.(Via Lonny)

Peach makeup looks fresh and dewy for the summer, and I keep noticing pretty girls with peach blush, lipstick and toes. Toby and I stopped by the NARS store the other day, and I tried on a peach lipstick. Their Barbarella color was lovely and natural, and I've worn it almost everyday since! (I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a flattering neutral.) Here are six peachy cosmetics to give you that sun-kissed glow...
1. Peach nectar lip gloss, 2. Barbarella lipstick, 3. Peach eyeshadow, 4. Nectar shimmer brick, 5. A Crewed Interest nail polish, 6. Peach blush.(Graphic design by Rachel from Elephantine, a new Cup of Jo contributor. Top photo of model Magdalena Frackowiak)
I rarely post about sales, but this is awesome: The rad British store ASOS has agreed to give Cup of Jo readers a whopping 20% off all full-priced items from today until next Monday, with the code ACUPOFJO20.ASOS has such pretty outfits for summer vacations and honeymoons. I'm especially loving this striped skater dress and these uber-flattering jeans. And this white Chloe dress would make a beautiful daytime wedding dress. Thanks so much, ASOS. xoxo
(See all my picks here.)
(20% off full-price merchandise; U.S. orders only; single use per customer; code valid until midnight on Monday, June 25th)

Now that we're (vaguely) househunting, we're also daydreaming about decorating. Wouldn't Ferm Living's graphic wallpaper look fantastic in a small space, like a bathroom or foyer? xo
At two years old, Toby is becoming such a BOY. The other day, I asked him what he wanted for breakfast, and he said, "Butt." So I laughed and asked him what he really wanted, and he said, "Penis." Ha, noted.Thankfully, this recent photo of Alex and Toby watching a video in the morning still captures that baby look. If only for a fleeting moment. Oh, how I love my little man.

What are you up to this weekend? This week, my friend Samantha and I saw Moonrise Kingdom, which was charming. (This was the cutest moment.) This weekend, we're going up our friend's cabin to swim.
