The talented wallpaper queens! Again Kimberly of Kimberly Lewis Home, Shanan of Eskayel, and Katie of Grow House Grow.

Last night I attended the launch of New York Cottages and Gardens at the fabulous Lillian August. The prosecco was on tap, the interiors inspiring, and I loved meeting new people!

Recent Properly Deserved Acquisitions

Cocktail napkin tray. For my bar cart. Because we both deserve a good cocktail.

Allergy season is coming up, and I deserve to stare at pretty as I grab for a tissue :)

Fancy these hand-painted (discounted!) pretties?

Head over to One Kings Lane! The sale ends on 3/17!

Group Picture

This made my heart happy :) "The new time you see a bunch of people getting ready to take a group picture...stand behind them...Sometimes you can tell how much people love each other without even seeing their faces."

Spring Shopping Fancies

This dress makes me happy. Effortless, just the right amount of feminine, and perfect for a spring or summer day out and about in the city. Even better? The straps are removable. Two in one! Justified ;)

And aren't these wedges perfect in every way? Being slightly vertically challenged, wedges are a major must have for me. I love a bit of the added height without going overboard and the comfort of an almost flat!

939 2nd Avenue (at 50th street)

Last night I rendezvous'd with old Parsons cronies. We met at La Cava, a wine bar, and caught up on five years of life. 5 years sounds like a lot but it sounds like vastly more when we all subtracted the number of years from our current age. (Have you tried that?) All of a sudden I'm feeling intensely introspective. It seems as if I was such different person at 23, altered in so many ways, but innately the same. After all, I was at happy hour ;). Have you changed in the past 5 years? How?
