The Weekend Guide

What to Do This Weekend

Take a load off.

CARRY
Ora Backpacks
What: We heart the Canadian brand’s book bags — all made from recycled vintage leather. And you know two straps are better than one (thanks, Mom).
Why: Baby got back.
Where: Online at orabags.com.

DESIGN
Custom iPhone Cases
What: New service enables you to pick a background color and apply jazzy designs created by emerging artists (Shadow Chen, Anthony Yankovic, Hannah Stouffer, and more).
Why: It’s not all talk.
Where: Online at imakemycase.case-mate.com.

BUY
Looks Good to Me
What: Find girly, limited-edition watercolor prints — all just $35.
Why: It’s in the name.
Where: Online at itlooksgoodtome.com.

SMELL
A Room with a View Perfume
What: The violet-scented fragrance, inspired by E. M. Forster’s novel, recalls the scent of the hills above Florence. Mmm.
Why: “Whence beauty gushed out to water the earth,” indeed.
Where: Online at letrainbleu.com.

APPLY
CeeVee
What: Put your resume online with help from this handy new site. All you’ve gotta do is enter your info, and it gives you a unique URL to send to employers.
