tres chic: Marais Usa
A couple of girls I went to school with have started an adorable shoe company called Marais USA.
The shoes are cute and super practical. (loving the oxfords)
Plus, their website has lots of fun, extra goodies.
Follow their blog here for updates about trunk shows here in NYC.

DIY: Contact Me
How sad is this little corner in my apartment?
It needed something, besides our weird cameraphone. Something cheap.
I was inspired by Sabbespot’s DIY Chevron Pattern and this NY Times article about a young, married couple and their apartment re-do.
So, I bought a roll of Magic Cover for $3.99 at a hardware store and got to work.
Next thing you know….
Hello Gorgeous.
This project literally could not have been simpler. I just measured my stripes, spaced them evenly apart and cut them out with an Xacto.
I am so happy with my wall!! Now I just have to find the perfect little something something for it.
I was thinking something like this:
This seems like a pretty easy DIY copy.
There once was a man from Nantucket...
Nantucket, Mass.
Although Nantucket is known for it’s New England beaches, this post is mainly about indoor activities since we visited during an intense Nor’Easter over the summer and were confined to our B&B – but it was still a blast. Check it out:
So, we scored cheap tickets to Nantucket and hadn’t settled our accommodations since everything was pretty pricey. Instead, we decided to just figure that minor detail out once we landed, so we headed to a bar with a local magazine and made some calls.
A few hours and a few pints of Blue Moon later, we had settled on The Seven Seas – a quaint little B&B within walking distance to shops and restaurants in town...
Greetings.
After that, we pretty much didn’t leave. Firstly, because it was cozy and they had Scrabble. And secondly, because it was raining. Non. Stop.
But then we got kinda thirsty. So we found a watering hole. Yum.
Stop the presses – I FOUND PETE AND PETE!! This truck is bright orange.
On our last day it stopped raining (figures) and we had a great time strolling through the little town popping into antique shops and smelling roses.
Come home with me now. Just do it!!
Morning dew alert!
For dinner, we hit the local sunset hotspot – Galley Beach. A lovely spot to sit with your lover and recover from a Nor’Easter.
Ain't life grand?
