A little late, but here are some snaps from a good friend's wedding this past weekend in New York City. It was breathtaking.

The ever sweet Nicolette Mason, has some even sweeter photographs of the newly opened Ladurée, located a short subway ride uptown. These photos are making me drool. I can't wait to head uptown for a box of these French beauties (the raspberry and pistachio are my favorites...). The best part is the boxes they come in are totally reusable. I use mine to store jewelry and make-up.

Make sure you head uptown to visit this delicious destination, and make sure you visit Nicolette's blog for even more tasty photos.

Tilton Fenwick - New Traditional

Anne Maxwell Foster and I were introduced at a mutual friend's cocktail party and immediately hit it off after discovering we're from neighboring towns in Upstate New York (we grew up shopping at the same mall!)

She and her friend Suysel recently started Tilton Fenwick, a burgeoning interior design firm that is going places FAST! This month, Tilton Fenwick was featured in Lonny and is in the running for Trad Home's 20 New Traditionals contest. I love their interpretation of "Country Cosmopolitan" - looks so cozy.

You can vote for them here. Good luck Tilton Fenwick! You deserve it!!

I wanted to do a little year end round up since 2010 was such a great year. So much happened! I got a new job, made great new friends and traveled to Spain, Switzerland, Nantucket, Sonoma, Bermuda, Montauk, Miami, Costa Rica and San Francisco.

I hope you'll stay tuned for 2011, which promises to be another great year! I've got trips planned to Barcelona, Austria, Northern California and Virgin Gorda. So here's to a happy and healthy new year!! xod.
