Thrilla in Anguilla...

Later this week, I’ll be lucky enough to be lounging poolside here, at the Viceroy Anguilla. I can’t stop looking at these gorgeous images of the Kelly Wearstler designed interiors and am absolutely pinching myself in anticipation! I love the casual luxury of these photos and the calming colors (cream on cream on cream, anyone?). Can't believe I'm going to see this bad boy in person!! You can expect an overload of photos when I get back. You've been warned... images found here. p.s. coincidentally, the lovely blog, a piece of toast, just did a post about this!

Mountain Wedding

Happy Friday!! We made it! I'm heading to the mountains of North Carolina this weekend for a wedding. What are your plans?

and now tumblr-ing...

Guess what? I started a tumblr. Wanna see it? Hope you like.

Kennedy Wedding

I've always loved these images of Jackie and John F. Kennedy on their wedding day...they look so young and full of hope. They had 10 bridesmaids, over 600 guests and pineapple salads.

Soft spot for Soft Shell...

I love me some seafood. In fact, I'm on the see food diet; I see food, I eat it. So naturally, this NY Times article about soft shell crab recipes thrilled me to no end. I love the idea of Oyster Cracker crusted soft shell crab this summer. Find the recipes here.

Lil Stella

I fell in love with these hilarious fruit print t-shirts by Stella McCartney. And don't these little boys look so cute? At $44, it may be more than you're used to spending for a kids t-shirt, but compared to the price of Stella's knickers, these are a cinch! To buy someone you love a lil stella, go here.

Le Dix-Sept

I've blogged before about my love for San Francisco, so it's no surprise that this SF based bakery has me feeling ready to head West. Le Dix-Sept makes macaroons to order in delicious flavors like Hibiscus with Strawberry confit. If you're anywhere near Cali, order some here so I can live vicariously through you!

Latest Lonny

Have you seen the new issue of Lonny? These were some of my faves. I especially love that Liberty-esque wallpaper. It's filling the void left behind by Domino, since I heard the latest Domino was a dud. To find some favorites of your own, check out Lonny here.

Say hello to Solange

Have you guys seen Solange Knowle's blog? She is cool as a cucumber and a major world traveler (girl after my own heart). Plus, you might even sneak a peek of her big sis, Miss B. Check out Solange's damn blog here.

Chloe's Crib

I loved these images of actress Chloe Sevingy's East Village home. Got to admit, her yellow vinyl chair and country meets city kitchen have got me green with envy. And how cool is her nautical themed bathroom? You can read more about her decorating style here.

Your Mom

Mother's Day is almost here, so I'm posting a round-up of some gift ideas for the mama in your life.

1. How about a pair of neon ballet flats. She'll be the brightest mom on the block.

2. This heavy cream is almost as awesome as actual heavy cream. I should know; I rub it all over my face daily (and nightly.)

3. Ina Garten (my hero) always says to use good vanilla. So make sure your Mom has some in her cupboard.

4. The ultimate cookbook. This might become her bible. Lucky you if it does.

5. Beeswax candles for her next dinner party.

6. Give the keys to the Mom van a makeover with this cute Kate Spade keychain.

Happy Mom's Day, ya'll!

City Hall "I Do's"

I love the idea of a City Hall wedding; just you and your lover, an employee of the state, and a few witnesses. Something romantic about it. Which is why I flipped when I spotted these newly-hitched cuties!
