Coffee table books...

My bookshelf is overflowing, but I still have my eye on a few new books...

Mother and Child, by Claiborne Swanson Frank

This is Frank's third book, she takes beautiful pictures that really transport you.

Dinner Diaries, by Daniel Cappello

Dinner Party tidbits from some of the best hostesses, from seating

arrangements, to conversation topics.

From Napa with Love, by Alexis Swanson Traina

(yes, Alexis and Claiborne are sisters!)

I have such fond memories of trips to Napa, from the Spa at Solage, to various

 tasting rooms, to delicious meals at Farmstead.

Weekend reading...

In between Soul Cycle class and Brunch plans, I'll be catching up on a few articles I've flagged,  and attempting to spring clean!

Rosé season is fast approaching, Violet Grey explains how to drink like a wino without looking like one.  

I've been to San Miguel, and loved it.  Maybe this is my next destination.

Trying to become a morning person... key word there is trying.

Maybe I need to rewatch Sliding Doors this weekend.

Emerson Fry...

Emerson Fry makes clothes that I want to wear everyday. 

Nothing feels overly trendy, or specific.  Just clothes that you want to wear forever.

I recently purchased the white pants below and the long sleeve top in black - perfect additions to my summer wardrobe.

What is your sign?

The latest in personalized sweaters - Le Lion.  Emblazoned with monograms and astrological signs, the sweaters are cheeky and fun!  The perfect piece to ring in the new season. Available now on M'Oda Operandi, and for those in NYC, there is currently a trunk show at the Drawing Room.

Kips Bay Decorator Show House...

The Kips Bay Decorator Show House is one of my favorite springtime events in NYC.  Each designer gets to decorate a room in any way they wish.  What always surprises me is that the house feels cohesive, you can imaging the glamorous individuals that live there. 

My favorite designer, Mark D. Sikes, is decorating a room this year - and I cannot wait to see it.  Named "Sleeping Beauty", Mark has given peaks into the space on instagram.  I spy Gracie Studio wallpaper, a tented ceiling, and stripes!

The house opens May 1st.
