J.Crew's Cat-Eye Sunnies

Part of me feels like this trend has been shoved down my throat. I'm okay with it. Especially if J.Crew is on board. Meet their new Selima sunnies.

Waylande Gregory

Among the many amazing companies I saw at the NYIGF, Waylande Gregory was at top of my love list!

The former artist garnered a long list of impressive accolades including having been considered the most important ceramist of 1925-1950.

The booth was helmed by his grandson (?), someone in his family nonetheless, and I love the story behind his stunning work.

His line is the definition of playful sophistication. My favorites are his bright, whimsical pieces that would be insanely perfect on my bar cart!

 

Weekend Picture Book

Holy indulge. After seeing the round-up of my weekend pics, I have a sudden urge to go to the gym! I grocery shopped at Mario Batali's Eataly and came home with the makings for the best Italian dinner.

Alan was welcomed home by prosciutto, ricotta, olives, fresh pasta with octopus and red pesto with truffles, and vino of course! Ridonk.

I woke up early Saturday morning to set out for a coffee run and came back with flowers...for myself. Do it.

There was a long drawn out brunch with a most darling bestie in the West Village starting with Sope Ranchero at Empellon.

It extended on to Agave and a silly amount of cocktails including this delish tequila mojito. We had some catching up to do ;)

I told you...silly.amount.of.cocktails. If I shared all the pics, my mom would be calling.

Did y'all watch the Super Bowl? It was an exciting time to be in the city. As soon as the Giants won, the streets erupted in exciting shrieks and chanting. We couldn't help but to throw on our coats and partake a bit ;) Hope y'all had a wonderful weekend, darlings!

Happy Weekending!

Darlings, what do you have planned this weekend? We actually started our weekend a little early last night with a visit to our favorite hole-in-the-wall Italian in Chelsea so I feel inspired to pretend that I'm Italian the rest of the weekend ;)

Tonight I plan on welcoming Alan home with a home cooked meal- cheese plates, italian meats, fresh pasta, and vino!  Thankfully Mario Batali's Eataly is nearby to help with the mission. side note: Doesn't their "market" page design make you happy?!

If you're cocktailing it, I highly recommend this blood orange gin sparkler by 101 Cookbooks. I tried it this week and it was simply fantastic! Cheers to weekending y'all!

Oh la-latz!

The unexpected (disastrous!) nature of our recent move, left me with two things 1) a brand new, EMPTY apartment and 2) champagne taste, which let's be serious, has always been there ;), and a beer budget! ha!

I'm going to have to bust out a bunch of DIY's to get the style I want, and I'll be sharing them all right here! This DIY by Jenny Komenda might be out of my reach, but I sure do want the Lido bed linens by Olatz look. 

What do you think loves? Can I do it?!

You can view our old place here and my inspirations as well as a few projects I managed to complete here!

3. Get another business I'm working on up and running.

4. Travel (a lot), experience, and enjoy life. 

5. Go to more art museums, live music events, and do a lot more yoga.

A Big Announcement- AUSTRALIA!

I've been secretly working for months with the most lovely (can anyone get any lovelier?) Kellie of Ada & Darcy to bring my little baby biz, Society Social, to AUSTRALIA! yippee! The big announcement went live today in the latest Adore Home which you simply must check out, if not to see my announcement ;), merely to see all the incredible spaces and fabulous, colorful finds featured in this month's issue. A few of my faves...
