Match made in snail-mail heaven!

Last week I attended the Dempsey & Carroll launch for their new partnership with Shumacher. What a great idea to pair a fabric line with a collection of stationary - brings the fun back into hand written notes (which I always love)! And of course, your personal stationary can match your living room - for those who just loooooove coordinating! :-)

Such colorful and fun designs..check it out

Cocktail Anyone?

What perfect timing. I am headed to Vegas tomorrow for the first of MANY bachelorette parties of the season! I am going with a fantastic group of gals and I am pretty positive we'll find ourselves some trouble and come back with some pretty funny stories.

So enjoy your weekend ladies and gents...I know I sure will! But before you sign off for the weekend, check out Everything LEB - an amazing blog (and also fellow Bostonian). I have been reading her blog now for a few months and I ALWAYS find inspiration when stopping over at LEB - I just LOVE it! If I haven't convinced you already, maybe the fact that she has a fabulous give-away will! Everything LEB is giving away some pretty rockin' bar accessories to make hosting a cocktail party "oh so stylish"! Check it out here!

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAITLIN!!!

One room at a time...

While condo renovations are done, we are still slowly but surely going through each room and decorating! I know...I know....this is a slow process (and should be) so that you can find special pieces and truly fall in love with the rooms you create. With that said, I am getting so antsy! I hate walking into the bedroom and living room and it looking so blah... I mean, don't get me wrong - we have done A LOT. But now we have come to a road bump (need to concentrate funds on the wedding) and I am dying to just get it all done! One thing that I really want to do with one wall in our living room is create bookshelves. We want to try and do this ourselves (aka Steve the handyman)....has anyone made bookshelves before across a whole wall?? If so, how did it come out?

Because it's only Tuesday...

Here are some fun images to help us all through the week! I have to believe that whomever lives in these homes must leave the house every day with an extra skip in their step - so fun!

Love all the color combinations!!

Beach bum...

Yes, I know we had a blizzard last week....and maybe it's the 40 degree weather, the sun staying out just a little bit longer or the fact that Steve and I ran outside this weekend without freezing our buns off..... but whatever it is - I feel the winds of change slowly but surely creeping into the NE corridor!

These one-piece swimsuits from JCREW remind me of a retro-20's esque style. I can just imagine sitting beachside with a book and a fabulously floppy hat sporting these trunks!

Love these nautical stripes!


I think this one is so sweet with the floral pattern

Have a great week!!

Snowed in...

HAPPY FRIDAY!

WHITE OUT

I am sitting at my desk and I can't see the buildings across the way. Snow is blanketing Manhattan right now....
