IT'S IN THE BAG...

I'm officially obsessed with this awesome preppy weekend bag from Trampoline. It combines two things I love bold stripes and sturdy canvas.

Swept Up in Summer Goodness...

Coming back from the Hamptons this weekend, I indulged in one of my favorite summer activities, stopping by a local farm stand and picking up fresh fruit, veggies and flowers to take back to the city. I barely wait to get to the car before biting into a juicy peach and the flowers look bright and cheery on my coffee table. A perfect way to end the weekend... 

How was your weekend?

Fire up the BBQ...

Happy Monday, everyone. I am getting a slow start this morning in part due to a very fun weekend of World Cup watching (Go USA!) and an overdose of delicious ribs and pulled pork sandwiches at the Big Apple BBQ Block Party yesterday.

It's not often that Madison Square Park and surrounding streets get closed down for a 2-day block party. Besides the yummy food, for non-meat eaters there were fantastic microbrews from Heartland Brewery and live bands from Austin, TX. Rain did not deter those in search of some good Southern BBQ. One word: Awesome.

What did you do this weekend?

Happy Monday!

What a great weekend! I hope you got a chance to spend some time outside, enjoying one of the last weekends of Spring before we officially kick it into high gear for the Summer season.

I'm already dreaming about Memorial Day barbecues...

The Great Escape...

With Wednesday almost done, I am already dreaming about the weekend. This weekend, I am hoping to get out of city and enjoy some fresh air and springtime blooms north of NYC in the Hudson River Valley.

Known for the sweeping views, laid-back atmosphere and vintage hunting, I am sure to be in heaven.

 Great food and wine are also definitely on the list...
