Sale find...

Confession: I love a long-sleeved dress. 
A few season ago a navy long-sleeved 3.1 Phillip Lim dress entered into my wardrobe, and I have been hooked ever since.  Pair with tights in cooler months and sandals in warmer, it's a true trans-seasonal purchase!


This Stella McCartney long-sleeved stunner is a closet must have, and on sale!
$372 from $930! available at Stella McCartney

Afternoon observations...

In the June/July 2013 issue of Harper's Bazaar, cover girl Christy Turlington, described go-to items in her closet, one being Rag & Bone's Newbury boots, which she coined "the Tribeca Mom boots", a phrase that ran true.  On any given day, while perusing the cobble stone streets of Tribeca, there were Newbury boots in every fabric and color available. 

While in Tribeca today, I noticed a change.  In a matter of less than an hour, I noticed three women wearing No.6's shearing boots.  There is a new "Mom boot" in town.
The warm shearling and suede boot juxtapose with the wooden heel just enough to question, is that comfortable?

Shearling boot on mid heel, $370


There is a No.6 store in Soho, stocked with the popular boots.




Also available at Steven Alan stores, and online.

Lunching in Pound Ridge...

The woods of Westchester have gotten a whole lot chicer lately with the opening of the Inn at Pound Ridge.   The Jean-Georges restaurant, open for nearly a year now, is located in an idyllic, elegantly restored home, with beautiful stone fireplaces and reclaimed wooden walls.
The menu is pure perfection, and will have you coming back for birthday's, holidays, and any other day ending in 'y'. 


The bar room, with a large opening into the main dining room

What we ate:


Whipped ricotta with crushed cranberries and olive oil, served with grilled sourdough.
This dish alone is worth the drive to Pound Ridge


Chopped salad with apple, avocado, pecans, and grilled shrimp.
Simple and delicious, you could eat this everyday.



Parmesan crusted french chicken with artichoke hearts.
Yum!

And there is so much more to try - the Pizzas, Croque M, Hamburger, and the desserts!
