Perfect Picnic...

This Provencal picnic looks so lovely. Makes me want to lie in the grass all day and eat cheese and grapes;) {images via bash please}

Eataly in NYC...

I walked through the hustle and bustle of Eataly this weekend and it was amazing. With stand up food and drinks bars amidst the market you can only imagine the yummy salami, cheeses, wines, fresh pastas, pizza, fresh breads, espresso and gelato that you can enjoy there or pick up to cook Italian cuisine at home. The also host many cooking classes through the week, and I can't wait to try!

Boast...

Love the ad campaign that Andy Spade did for this cheeky tennis apparel company called Boast...it's sort of Royal Tannenbaum's meets The Hangover.

Happy Friday...

A whirlwind week of work travel in Chicago and a low key weekend ahead before Ad Week in NYC. Have a lovely weekend! {image via concept blanc}

What a Week...

Do you ever have those weeks at work where you are so busy you begin to lose your voice and it feels like 3 weeks rolled into one? Well, I'm off tomorrow and thrilled to have a mini-break. I'll be celebrating my birthday this weekend with friends and family. And on my actual birthday (Monday) I get to celebrate with the Rue Magazine girls in NYC for their launch. I'm sneaking in a little rest here and there so I am fresh for next week's busy schedule of travel and meetings. This spot above, Cape Grace, a beautiful hotel on the tip of South Africa, looks like exactly the kind of destination that would lend itself to spoiling and relaxation for the weekend. Sign me up! {image via Pink to Green}

Pretty Living Space + Unique Seats...

 
I love these living rooms, each one has such beautiful elements, from lush green open views to hanging pendant feather lamps. The unique chairs in each photo have me searching on ebay! {images via desire to inspire, escapade, delight by design}

How beautiful is this bedroom with pops of bright yellow? It brightens up the day. And not to mention, the book collection bag and sandals from Kate Spade. I'll never tire of this shade, no matter the season! {image via luxe + lillies}

Happy Friday...

Happy Friday! It's Fashion Night Out in a city near you...I can't wait to hit the shops for cocktails and discounts. There are a few great planning guides for parties you can't miss in NYC. Have a wonderful weekend. xo

Roque Island 2010...

Labor Day was one of the highlights this summer. I thought I'd share pics from our weekend adventure on Roque Island. 

 
Hurricane Earl tried to keep us away...

And made for a rainy boat trip when we landed in Maine.

We were prepared with our list and played supermarket sweeps when picking up all the groceries for the weekend's gourmet meals!

We made it to beautiful Roque Island and felt like we were immediately transported to heaven.

We hiked all afternoon, and when we reached top and looped around to another part of the island, we could see our house from across the water.

The paths were beautiful and covered in green moss.

We rode horses through the forest.

And then enjoyed a sunset cruise around the island.

It was perfectly calm waters in the harbor.

Waking up to the sunrise was amazing.

And the sheep came down every morning to say hello...or very loudly baaaaaaaaa;)

We packed up the red truck and headed to Great Beach for a Lobster Bake.

Loving every minute of sunshine and sand.

The boys were proud of their fire.

And the girls were proud of their chilled wine and champagne;)

And the lobsters cooked while we lazed and played games that had us laughing through the night.

And then S'mores of course!

Giving the hostess a thank you hug!

And saying goodbye to the island till next year!
