Fish + Fish's Eddy

I'm a big fan of Fish's Eddy, so I was thrilled when I walked by last week and saw these Charley Harper designs in the window. I've always loved Charley Harper's birds, and his fish are just as great!

scenes from the weekend : Sag Harbor

Spent the weekend in Sag Harbor eating oysters and riding the ferry to Shelter Island.

summer beauty

The summer heat in NYC is brutal, so I change my summer beauty routine for a lighter approach. It all begins with moisturizer (I like Clinque), then I lay on Physican's Formula Bronzer - I use it in place of cover-up in the summer. After that it's a few swipes of mascara and I'm good to go. I finish it off with my favorite, Rose Bud Salve on the lips and a bit of Body Shop White Musk perfume oil. I find that perfume oil fares better in the hotter months - at least on my skin.

That's my summer beauty routine. Do you have any summer beauty tricks?

NYC - Vintage Style

These photographs make me love New York City even more than I already do. See more here.

my hand hurts

I spent this weekend addressing envelopes for a friends wedding. I think I know what I'll be getting her as a wedding gift...

scenes from the weekend : Northern California

I'm back!! Here's a sneak peak of my time in California...























It was an amazing trip and I can't wait to tell you all about it :)

princess feet

Vainty Fair has some really lovely photos of William and Kate's whirlwind North American tour. But my favorite snaps were of Kate's feet.

house on the hill

I'd like to read a book and drink white wine spritzers here. All weekend. See ya there!

NYC: Birreria at Eataly

This weekend we hit the Birreria on the rooftop of Eataly for some cask ale and cheese. The sun was shining and the beer was flowing. Sadly, New York City is lacking in the outdoor dining department, so the rooftop is a novelty, especially on a beautiful Summer day.



Our favorite was the "Liquid Gold" beer, which was cold and refreshing.






We splurged and got the 7 cheese plate, which came with fresh bread and honey. My favorite was the fresh ricotta.

Unfortunately the beer and apricot marinated pork shoulder didn't last long enough to make it on camera. At $19 it was priced to move.

If you find yourself in the Flatiron district, hit the Birreria. Bottoms up!

here i am...

Apologies for my sparse posting. This week has been crazy busy!! Looking forward to enjoying a lazy New York weekend. Come back next week. I promise to be more interesting :)

p.s. isn't this dog hilarious? I spotted him in Charleston last weekend. his tiny hat reminded me of this...

summer pops

Hoping to do a little grilling this holiday weekend with friends and this recipe for Honeydew Lime popsicles looks amazing.

Hoping everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July! I'll be celebrating in Charleston, SC. Any recommendations?
