Surely Carine Roitfeld's new magazine, CR, will be quite the visual experience and truly global as contributors will encouraged to write in their native language.

hidden pond

 

The Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport, Maine seems like the kind of place you'll never want to leave. Close to the southern coast of Maine and surrounded by sixty acres of birch groves and balsam fir, it's an oasis in the woods. Guests enjoy uniquely decorated private cottages, food sourced from two on-site organic gardens, treehouse-like spa treatment rooms stocked with natural oils from Farmaesthetics and plenty of cozy nooks across the property to unwind and relax. As if that wasn't enough, guests are also encouraged to pick flowers from the farm and arrange a vase in the on-site potting shed, or seek artistic inspiration from the artist in residence. There's yoga, tai chi and stretching sessions with a personal trainer. And nightly bonfires set the tone for evenings on the property. Sounds like the perfect weekend (more like week long!) getaway.

girls and dreams

 

There's something really soothing about Matt Schwartz's whimsical polaroids of girls, surf culture and nature shot in beautiful locations such at  Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Peru and California (among others, and even including good ol' New Jersey). The dreamy, vintage feel is the result of a Polaroid transfer onto watercolor paper. I'm really drawn in by the way he captures the vulnerability of the moment. Some of his prints are on sale here; more from his portfolio here.

High Line Scavenger Hunt

Travel + Leisure recently named the High Line on its list of the world's top landmarks, right after the Statue of Liberty, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum and the Golden Gate Bridge. It's truly a special place and enjoying it with little ones requires very little effort. From the beautiful greenery and magnificent views to the broad range of architecture and interesting art, you're surrounded by tons of inspiration for a serious game of I spy. 

But it's also prime ground for a scavenger hunt. And with this easy guide and a little imagination, kids can explore the High Line in a fun and engaging way.  

And with the warm temperatures and the High Line Cutback in full swing, spring flowers are already in bloom. Here's some of what we saw during our visit last weekend. 

pop-up hotel

Papaya Playa Project, a Design Hotels temporary hotel project in Tulum, Mexico, brings the concept of pop-up to travel experiences. Cabanas welcome visitors in a commune-style setting, while a recording studio serves as the epicenter for DJs and performing artists. Food is locally sourced and events are centered around Mayan full moon rituals. It's a communal playground that's only around for 5 months (through May 5th). It's an interesting concept I'd love to see more of!

kinfolk dinner

The Kinfolk dinner series made its way to Brooklyn this past weekend with what seems to be a beautifully orchestrated dinner event. As with the Kinfolk ethos, the dinners are meant to bring together and inspire a natural and communal approach to entertaining. These magical images were captured by Karen of the equally inspiring Sunday Suppers.

dreamy polaroids

I love these dreamy shots of Michelle Williams for Boy. by Band of Outsiders frolicking around the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. So intriguing.

Moonlight Magic

"A girl with her head in the clouds, who clings on to her dreams. Or on towards the stars?"

Vanessa Bruno's latest fashion film is dreamy and magical, as usual. If only I could put them all on a loop to watch over and over. There's something about director Stephanie Di Giusto's clever way of intertwining nature and the mystical that gets me every time.

More moonlight magic over on Little Skyline today.
