Dreaming of shipwrecks...


...mermaids and purple rowboats. But I will most likely be wearing a sweater or three.

We surrender.


Ok, Winter. You win. Your persistence is really impressive. Personally, I think it is slightly cruel how you've toyed with us - allowed us to feel the days getting longer, the sun warming our cheeks.

Well, this looks delicious, no?

Dear Spring, Please Come Back


Spring, I'm so very sorry I said Fall was my favorite season. I was wrong. All the kittens want to do watch Brigette Bardot films on rooftops and we need you desperately to do so. Come back soon.

A Moment in Time



Holy smooookes how gorgeous is Anjelica Houston? I mean, seriously.

GLAMOUR happens when somebody with great personal taste is very much at EASE with [him- or herself] and with what they’re wearing, without social pretense.

Lunch Lady: Wishful Thinking


I've definitely enjoyed the snow days and the hot toddies and the hundreds of videos of my friends cats exploring (and ultimately detesting) the aftermath of the Polar Vortex but, at this point, I was so incredibly relieved to find a little getaway in Summers.  I'm just not into wading through riverpuddles every time I cross the street to get a bialy, or having my glasses fog up whenever I step inside. It's been a very long and unpredictable winter so far and finding a place to remind me that warmer weather is in my future... very very far in my future, was just what I needed.

I overheard our buyer, Leigh placing her order on the phone and I immediately asked who she had called. 20 minutes later I was drinking coconut water out of a goddamn coconut (!!!!!!!!!!) and having the time of my life. I just wish I had a tiny umbrella to put in it, but it was like 10:30am afterall and I'm still months away from Summer Fridays.


I also made it a point to try the Egg Sandwich because that's the first thing everyone recommended to me. It's made with one cage free fried egg, sliced avocado, Cabot cheddar and Sriracha (because... of course) on a Parkerhouse roll. Don't get me wrong, it was fun to slip around in the snow clinging to a stamped coconut, but I'm glad they had something a little more suitable for my winter cravings. And the beet juice I got because I absolutely refuse to get sick. I have made it this far and hopefully the ginger, grapefruit and lemon I put in there will have some pity on me. AND Whoever made it did a great job because my throat wasn't on fire from too much ginger like it would normally be. Also look at how pretty it is! #nofilter hahahah


So, after my little trip down memory lane it was actually nice to get back to reality and appreciate the weather today. It really wasn't that bad and afterall it is temporary. Even though some of my friends would swear we were stuck in this hell forever. Spring will be here soon. And then Summer in all of it's humid, sweaty, sunburned glory. In no time at all you'll be burning your cheeks on a scalding roof because your host doesn't have enough chairs, wishing your drinks were colder or the beach was closer and I'll be bribing my best friend with some leftover whiskey so he can put the AC in my window again. Plus, every other word out of my mouth this past month has been "ITSFUCKINGFREEZING" and I think everyone is getting just a little sick and tired of the all cussing around here.

A riotous serenade.


The colors! The light! The swan faucet! Ha cha cha, I love it.

Pajama Game


Snow again! Let's lounge (in our minds) and listen to records, lit by the light of a crystal chandelier and fresh white snow.

Candy, darling.


Big, gorgeous, riotous roses at Dolce and Gabbana Alta Moda - February always has me craving lipstick pink roses, fuchsia nails, and fragrant blooms bedside; a hothouse spring in the imagination.

Ha-choo!


I've got a cold - it arrived at approximately 12:14 pm, on the dot, give or take. I shall retire to my home for a hot hot bath and an evening reuniting with my friends at Downton Abbey. A delight of a night- ha-choo!

What We're Listening To: Warpaint


I'm in love with Warpaint's new self-titled album. It's equal parts dreamy, moody, dancy, and creepy, which is just my cup of tea. If you're looking for a song to start with, check out "Disco//very." I happily just watched a male customer bop around to it in the store.
