Ina and Aerin...

 


I can't think of better pairing - Ina Garten baked goods on an Aerin Lauder cake stand.   In my imaginary dinner parties, both women are there, with their respective wares.  

Until Ina develops a 'click to buy' button on Instagram, I'll be googling her recipes and making them at home.

In the clouds...

 One of my favorite things to do is walk along Park Avenue at night.  The lights are on in stunning apartments, and I get a glimpse of the decor.    My current favorite is an apartment on 79th Street with Cole & Son 'Nuvolette' wallpaper in their TV room.   It is the pale blue color way and trim and ceiling are painted blue, a few shades darker.   It is just lovely!  

I love this wallpaper, have for a long time.  I especially love it for a small space - a powder room, an entry, a small hallway.

Weekend reads...

 



Are you watching Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix?  It is so good! Sienna Miller is fantastic (and so are her clothes!)

I very much agree with the notion that cleaning and organizing have countless health benefits.  

So many recipes here, making me look forward to nectarine and tomato season.  

WSJ claims that the ballet flat is back.  For some of us, it never left. 

If you are not following @habituallychic on instagram, you should be.  She is currently living in Paris for a month and her adventures are mesmerizing.

The short of it...

 While switching my closets from Winter to Summer a sad truth came to light, my beloved Isabel Marant shorts are disintegrating.  The fabric is now paper thin, and the elastic stretched its last stretch.   I wouldn't even know where to begin to repair them.   They were the perfect pair of shorts - not too short, not too fussy - could be worn during the week in the city, or paired with a swimsuit by the pool.   Thankfully Isabel Marant has shorts again this season, and they are adorable.  Looks like it will be another summer of Isabel.

The Pro-Shop...

 The TENNIS Pro-shop.  The market is booming with new tennis brands, one cuter than the next.   Rather than have a million open tabs on my laptop, I'm putting them in one shop!  Everything you need for both on, and off, the court.

Game - Set - Shop!

Places to go...

 My hunt for the perfect white jean continues. Never enough white blouses. And, a floral jacket that I've been thinking about for a week.  Paired with sandals I've been waiting a year to wear.

Clothes I want to wear...

Easier said than done!   Thank you Ulla Johnson for making dresses that I want to own and wear, for years to come!  Classic, a touch flirty, and hopefully soon to my closet. 

This and more in The Goods.

Print-tastic...

 I am a huge fan of Lia Burke Libaire.  Her prints are just charming, and even better when in a grouping.   She is currently offering 15% off all prints thru Friday.

Spring goods...

Spring has spring in The Goods, even if the temperatures outside are not quite there yet.             This time of year is tricky, we all want to break free from the winter layers.  As temperatures gradually increase,  I have my eye on a few pieces to carry thru Summer.  In the meantime, thank goodness for my trench coat, and my hunt for new denim continues.
