Leigh Viner
Apologies to whoever follows me. I dropped bombs on Pinterest over the weekend. I pinned up about a hundred some beauts (a little cray cray) to a new board of mine, Bar Cart Art. I need something fabu to hang over my Madison Mixer and it features the work of some of my favorite artists finds!
On an unrelated note, I recently paid a visit to Mood here in NYC. Brings back grad school memories, but thankfully this time this project is not going to be critiqued by my neurotic fashion professor, just me, which may be worse. I found the purrrr-fect fabric for the drapes I've been coveting...

...for 8 dolla (hollaaa) a yard. WHHAAAT. oh. yes. come to momma.

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 ;)
