Color Intensity

January 31, 2012





I'm captivated by the vibrant colors in Mara Hoffman's beautifully shot 2012 Resort Swim campaign. And slightly excited to shop for a new bathing suit. Slightly.

Weekend Inspiration

September 30, 2011

My life has been a whirlwind of insanity over the last couple of weeks. But I've cleared my mind a bit and am taking more of a laid back approach to all of the curve balls life is throwing my way. And here are a couple of things that are making me happy along the way...



Smitten Kitchen's Scalloped Tomatoes recipe. To say I love tomatoes is an understatement. I can't live without them! And this dish is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. Tomatoes, bread and cheese...what's not to love. If you happen to have leftovers, try it for lunch with a poached egg on top. Heaven! We picked up enough tomatoes at the farm last weekend to make lots and lots of batches!


My new royal blue pebble Clare Vivier Foldover Clutch. It's such a beauty. I love the color and the texture. And the pop of red. I've been rocking the Bando for the last couple of weeks but I think the clutch just beat it out as my new go-to bag.



I didn't think it was possible to love Feist more than I already do and then I listened to her new album, Metals. Love!


Heather's webisodes have become my go-to resource for easy and tasty recipes (her plum and tomato salad has become a favorite around here, and her salad dressing is perfection). But truth be told...they make me happy. Heather is adorable, the music is uplifting, the colors in the videos are beautiful, and I so want to live in her house (or her backyard). Seriously, if you need a pick-me-up, hop on over and hit play.

PS: I'm back on Little Skyline (my blog for moms and little ones) with Fall fun, art and food.

Have a great weekend!

Savage Beauty

August 8, 2011

My attempt to see the Savage Beauty exhibit on Friday morning was unsuccessful. We waited outside in the blaring sun only to learn that the exhibit line was shut down for several hours. I've been super bummed since. Luckily, Garance posted several stunning shots on her website










Pretty Pictures

I just love how Anthropologie styled this Brook&Lyn necklace. It makes for a really pretty picture.

And as usual, their newest catalog is chock full of pretty.

Boots, scarves, layering...Madewell is making me seriously crave Fall.

Tie-Dye

July 28, 2011

Ever since I first laid eyes on an Upstate wrap I knew I would fall hard for all things blue tie-dye. I still covet the wrap, but in the meantime, am seriously considering these

Cool Weekend

July 22, 2011

Unbearable. That's all I can say about this heat. I can't breathe. It's impossible to stay cool. Staring at these beautiful caftans and tunics from Two helps. Well, not really, but they're gorgeous. And I love the story behind the brand.



We're off to Tarrytown tomorrow to catch Laurie Berkner, and were hoping to spend time checking out local shops and attractions, but considering the heatwave will continue through tomorrow, I'm not so sure we'll see anything other than the inside of the venue and a restaurant. We'll have to try to head up again in the Fall.

And Tenafly is hosting its Summer Street Festival this weekend, but again, who can stand the heat?!

Hope you stay cool. Here are some fun things to check out from around the web...

Keep cool with these easy to make summer cocktails

Easy Breezy Summer Outfits

June 27, 2011

With the birthday celebrations behind us, I'm finally able to focus on our summer staycation, which officially kicks off this afternoon once I get the car back from the mechanic (new radiator, ugh!). Given all the toddler fun that's in order, my outfits need to keep up pace. So I pulled together some inspiration...
