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!
