an afternoon in the garden…

Today, both Meg and I had the day off of work (yay MLK Jr.!) so we decided to meet up with Andrea for a walk in the Boston Public Garden and a little shopping on Newbury Street.

I of course took my camera to see if I could get any good shots! The air might have been freezing (18 degrees!), but the sun was shining bright and the sky was the most perfect shade of blue.

We ate a late lunch at Piattini Gelateria and Cafe, a new addition to the classic “small plates” Piattini, which Caroline and I loved to frequent when we lived in Back Bay right after college (remember, friend?!). The cafe has small paninis, salads, soups, and of course, gelato. A nice place to sit and chat on a cold afternoon!

I’ll leave here with one of my favorite MLK Jr. quotes:

‎”I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”

Hope you had a nice MLK day!

golden globe favorites

It was so fun to watch the Golden Globes last night! The fashion is the highlight for me… here are my most favorite looks from the red carpet:

Claire Danes has always been my favorite actress. The very best in my opinion. Always and forever I will love her and she didn’t disappoint last night. She looked AMAZING.

Anne Hathaway looked stunning in her fully sequined dress. So sleek and beautiful!

Julianna Margulies looks so simple and perfect. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her dress. Love how she wore only simple (lovely) studs. A classic look that is ultimately the winner for me.

Here are just a few more that made my heart skip a beat…

Diana Agron looked so so elegant. I love the pale dress with her pale skin. Beauty.

Olivia Wilde’s dress is like a dream come true, that I am sure of. A more rockin’ version of Cinderella’s ball gown. And I adore it.

Everyone looked beyond gorgeous. Congratulations to all the winners!

This is love…

Just thought I would bring you some cheerful photos from a gorgeous beach cottage in California, featured in House Beautiful, on this chilly New England morning…

I can practically feel the warm breeze blowing through the open windows. Take me there.

Happy Monday!!
