I almost feel bad using these cute little guys...

{Whoops!}

I really just realized that a good portion of my summer weekends are over and I'm kinda freaking out a bit.  I don't know where the time went, but I plan on making the most of the remaining weekends.  Especially excited to have my friend from Portland stay with me for 2 days next week & have some good playtime in NYC!



{Wishlist} Chanel Boy Handbags

In case you want more structure than the classic quilted style we have all grown to lust over...

{The Nolitan Hotel} sneak peak

I got a lovely sneak peak to the nearly opened Nolitan Hotel in, you guessed it, Nolita.  This boutique hotel specializes in personalized service, while mixing in the perfect design aesthetic to compliment the surrounding neighborhood. Oh, and there is natural light flooding into each room like you wouldn't believe!

{Rue Magazine} Issue #6

The verdict is in - this is my favorite issue, yet!  I am totally in heaven looking at the Singaporean Love Story.  The colors & design aesthetic make my heart skip a beat.

{Genius} Karl Lagerfeld + Maison Michel

This isn't news flash worthy or anything, but Karl Lagerfeld's photography for Maison Michel's Spring/Summer 2011 Lookbook is really stunning.  Couture head candy at its finest!

{Hidden Treasures} my favorite antique shop

I have a hidden little gem near my parents' house that has amazing antique treasures [where I got my beautiful velvet chair].  My favorite vendor has clothing & accessories dating back to the early 1900's, where I just purchased a beaded collar that I can't wait to wear in the cooler months.  Now I just need to head back and get that beaded vest...

{Just Because} thirst on the brain

It's hot out.  Like, really hot. And all I can think about is a Lychee Mojito I had this weekend.

{Good Eats} Doughnut Plant

So, also on this fun list that my friends and I have is a doughnut tour.  On top of this 'tour' list was the Doughnut Plant, which was coincidentally the next block over from Hester!  To my stomach's delight, we strolled over and got a box of delicious samplings to have as a small meal before dinner - Creme Brulee, Peanut Butter/Strawberry Jam, Lavender Flower and Cinnamon Bun.  Mmmm.

{Hester Street Fair}

My friends and I created a 'Fun List' with a bunch of goodies around NYC that we will absolutely be checking off by Summer's end.  On Saturday, we were able to check off the Hester Street Fair and the Doughnut Plant [stay tuned].  Hester was a little smaller than I expected, but had more personality than I could have hoped for!
