travel with adorable stuff!

Do you know One Kings Lane?

My friend told me about it a year ago and I just love it. It’s a lot like RueLaLa, only for home goods. Perfect for me since one of my favorite hobbies is looking for decorative and practical items for the home. This weekend they are having a sale on some adorable travel luggage and accessories. I love the fun sea-inspired prints. So summer!

The company is called Halsea. “I’d like for someone to see a Halsea item, and wonder if it was a hand-me-down from mom’s groovier days or if it’s something new and special,” says designer Sally Bartz. “If Lilly Pulitzer epitomized an era in Palm Beach, I’d like for Halsea to tell a story of a classic but relaxed old-school California.”

I like that. And I love the look. Classy, yet fun.

Take a look for yourself… sale ends tomorrow!

so long, new york!

What a terrific little weekend trip I had to New York City. I absolutely LOVE visiting NY and discovering new restaurants, meeting up with friends, and visiting the many many shops! This weekend I got to do all of that and more and in really just a matter of 24 hours. I packed it all in and am sitting on the megabus home feeling very satisfied.

There’s only one thing I would have changed: Bailey was not there. Boo. I missed you, Bails! Tons!

Here is a sneak peak at what I did this weekend…

had a delicious brunch @ Miriam

fell in love with Fishs Eddy

More on each of these experiences this week!

N.Y.C…………!

I’ll be heading to NYC this weekend to catch up with some of my favorites! First, I’ll be heading to the upper east side to get some KP lovin’. Then hopefully I’ll make it to Brooklyn (LOVE!!) to see Beth and Beck.

Oh, NY. How I do love you.

on top of the world.

Here is a picture of me at the top of Mount Lafayette in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The top of the mountain was so windy I thought I was going to blow away. It took us about 8 hours to finish the hike and boy did I feel like a superstar afterwards. Must have been the bag of peanut m&m’s that saw me through to the end. They never let me down.

What an awesome adventure!
