area home

If you ever come to my apt as a guest, no need to bring a bottle of wine. Just bring me a cool matchbook and I'm happy as a clam! That's true too. My husband and I have a big glass bowl of cool matchbooks from places we've been ..and haven't. Around holiday time I posted that you should stick a pack of vintage matches in a cool guys stocking- and I was serious.
You can find these vintage ones on ebay


While I was surfing around on areo home this week I hit the match jackpot. Check out there pretty selection here!
Get ready for huge news monday... have a lovely weekend.

Point to point

This past weekend I attended an event in DE called point to point. Its an event where thousands of people show up for horse races and more importantly a massive tailgate in their country club casual attire. A seemingly odd mix but fun I assure you. This year, it poured. I was amazed to see that some still came out in seersucker suits and bow ties only to get covered in mud. The prep attire was inspiring. J crew missed out on a great photo op.
It did stir up a nice post.
A great chair at Jonathan Adler that would be stunning in any prepster's home.


Cute preppy flickr find.
A dog decked out in polo.
New finds at Kate's.
My own soaked Jcrew wellies at the event.

Cool Decoupage

Seriously. I would love these trays for my office. Next time I'm in NY, I plan on swinging by John Derian's shop.


a few more favs on my twitter. Oh also Thank you Designista! So proud to be part of this amazing shop! check it out here!

So happy to have found Steven Alan's new collection. Loving the bright plaids.

fun weekend


Did alot this weekend. Made a small pitstop in NYC for a little meeting at a designer store. I really enjoyed the meatpacking district- in fact whenever I am in the city I feel overwhelmed but Saturday's trip was relaxing. I could live there sometime... for the right job that is.


Turns out I'll be there often this summer, looking forward.

big city

Heading into the city this weekend for the artwork- I'll share some photos when I return. I can't share for just what yet but will share photos! I'll be in the meatpacking district which should be great.
Before I head out of town, again, I would love to share these amazing bracelets from bluemoss's shop. I was over at her blog yesterday and I caught them.



Booked a new fashion illustration account and can't wait to keep you posted on the work. Wil be working on all of that this week. Have a lovely weekend everyone!
