NY

January 14, 2015

New York at the holidays. I can’t think of a more perfect time to visit. Yes, it was chilly, but that made it that more delightful to slip in to a little coffee shop for a cappuccino or French restaurant for a bowl of soup and to watch through the windows as people walk by. And, also, sales! In addition to the J.Crew jewelry I’ve already posted, I made my first ever venture into Inglot! I’ve been following the brand for a while now, but can’t exactly say that it’s accessible in the states. I was so happy to take a crash course tour of the island of Manhattan; below, some highlights.

Myself, Mark and Mark’s brother, Jack, at the incredibly inventive restaurant/gourmet grocery store hybrid, Eatily. I LOVED the concept of different little stations for crudo, vegetables, paninis, etc. Given the option by such courteous gentleman, I chose the crudo station. Succccch a good decision.

This trip, my first to New York, was one of the most special and meaningful trips I’ve ever been on. Spending time with the family of the love of my life and seeing how everyone comes together with love and support… Touched my heart. I can’t wait to go back to experience more of all that New York has to offer.

Dog Beach

January 4, 2015

I’ll be very blunt with this statement.. We have the cutest dogs ever. For real. Emily with her shagginess and cute little face, and Beau with his energetic playfulness; I seriously think we’re the luckiest people to have adopted two completely awesome rescue pups. Over the weekend, we drove the two hours south to San Diego to stay at the Ocean Villa, a very dog-friendly establishment, and to visit with my grandparents. The pups had the best time during their first ever trip to the dog beach, and the weather could not have been more perfect for such an occasion. Below, check out the cuteness!!

I Dream of San Fran

April 6, 2014

There are few places that I enjoy visiting more than San Francisco. Yes, it’s cold and frequently a pricey excursion. But the views, the awesomely random people you meet, the FOOD, the often abrupt transportation, the fast pace, the shopping, and that sense of adventure that comes with each visit is worth every cent. Here are a few shots of our recent trip up North in celebration of my dear friend Jess’s birthday.

BH Weekend

April 3, 2014

The boyfriend and I recently took a little overnight trip to Beverly Hills for relaxation and, as usual, some exploration. We stayed at The Crescent, an adorable yet luxurious boutique hotel just blocks away from Rodeo Drive. We were greeted with complimentary glasses of red wine and settled right into our cozy room. I especially took notice of the pendant chandeliers and hound’s-tooth fabric wall treatment.

After about 2 hours of painful (not really) discussion, we decided on Thomas Keller’s Bouchon for dinner. Although I do have something negative to say about their service, the food was truly the star of the evening. Chicken liver mousse with crostini, followed by a huge pot of mussels from Maine, steamed in white wine, Dijon and saffron, served with a side of French fries. Amazeballs. We were feeling pretty full after this amazing meal, so we took dessert to go…
