summer snaps

Just a quick peek at my summer so far. It's been a good one, and promises to keep getting better with trips planned to Carmel, CA., South Carolina and Nantucket on the horizon. As always, I promise to take you with me. Happy Monday!!

can I stay with you?

These images make me want to explode into a million tiny pieces. The stripes?? The wood floors?? THE DOORKNOBS!?
CAN I MOVE IN?? I'LL DO THE DISHES EVERY NIGHT!!

sunny day

I don't remember where I found this, but it's really stinkin' cute. Hope you're having a sunny day!!

scenes from the weekend : Hanover, NH

It was a fun and fratty reunion weekend at Dartmouth College. Amazing weather, good friends and a freshly roasted pig - what more could you ask for?

tripnotes: Manchester, Vermont

Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to spend a weekend in beautiful Manchester, Vermont. Talk about God's Green Earf...



We stayed at the Palmer House, which had a lovely stocked trout pond. The water was so cam it looked like glass!






The lilacs were in full bloom and the air smelled amazing. Here they are covered in mornin' dew.



It was so great to get out of the city and spend a little time in the country. Loved this weathervane.



The weather was warm during the day and chilly in the evening. The Palmer House has a 9 hole golf course, and we spent a bit of time on the links.



Turns out I'm pretty good. This photo was taken after a hole-in-one. Yay me! YAY MANCHESTER!!

scenes from the weekend...

Did some gardening in my little patch of NYC and brunched at ABC Kitchen. Hope yours was great too!

the early show is so early

Last weekend I was on The Early Show and let me tell you, it's on EARRRRLY. I'm not totally awake here, but it was still a blast! And check out Amy Goodman's book "Wear This, Toss That" - it's a great read.

bun in the oven

Things are starting to heat up in New York, and I think this will be my go-to to Summer style; a quick and easy bun!!

Missing Paris

I went to see "Midnight in Paris" last night and it had me remember my own trip to Paris a few years ago. So I thought I'd repost some of my own photos so we can stroll down memory lane together.













We'll always have Paris!!

great kate
