Holy Shiznit - The Hamptons continuted!

Guilty as charged!! This is a direct re-post from my good friend's blog.  While I'm on the subject of The Hampton's this week, how could I possibly fail to mention J.Christopher Burch's fabulous Hampton's vacation (yes - vacation) home? It's gorge from head to toe!!

Also, a bit of news for my local peeps. They are opening a C.Wonder shop at Derby shops in Hingham, Ma. I was thrilled to hear that bit of info this week!! Images and deets via AD.

I think I need to use this headboard fabric someplace in my life!!

Ski Bunny

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9

I'm heading to VT with my kiddies to celebrate my daughter's 3rd birthday this weekend, I'm going to put them both in ski lessons and sneak in a few runs myself! Above are apres and ski essentials..Also, don't forget your helmet, they're safe, and warm!

Image 1. If I had a ski house you can bet it would resemble Aerin Lauder's Aspen Home as shown in Vogue Magazine. 

My favorite part of skiing? The Apres ski at the lodge!

I stumbled across this ski chalet in Big Sky last week while searching for ski house inspiration. Images by photographer Audrey Hall.

Dreaming of....

It's been raining in Boston ALL WEEK, so I've decided that I am going to take a full week off this summer, to take surfing lessons (lucky for me my friend Steffan is an amazing surfer), hang out at the beach, wear Kaftans, relax, and in my dreams rent a cottage like the one below. It will basically be my version of a Bohemian Beach Bum vacation. I may even shut my phone off for a few days. (not sure if that's possible, but a total escape would be perfection).
P.S. I have always loved the top image, I tore it out of a magazine years ago and then it popped up on Pinterest! Ahh. Pinterest, what the hell did I do without Pinterest? Do I dare toss my files of tear sheets?

GREAT KAFTANS ARE FROM: CAMILLAONLINE, AND RIKSHAW DESIGN

back to reality

Hello, Hello! I apologize for the silence, I was taking a much needed mini-vacation to the Caribbean! (ahhh love it there). I'm officially back to reality but I'm still dreaming a little. I've decided that for my semi-retirement in about 27 years I'd like to own a little villa some place. I'd be very happy if it looked a exactly like this. I would of course extend an open invite to family and friends! It would also be for rent when I wasn't escaping for a couple of months during the winter!! A girl can dream right?? I'd better start my "cottage account" today! Hope your winter is going well, it feels like Spring is just around the corner in Boston today! 

This beautiful "cottage" is located in the Bahamas and is by designer Tom Scheerer. (I think it may even be his vacation place). I'm sure you've caught a glimpse of it before but it's amazing, so I thought I'd share it again. I love all Tom's "beach" projects.

Limed wood perfection!

Inspired! Aerin in Aspen

Some people live the most glamorous (or what appear to be) glamorous lives. Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful for all that I have and that I am able to steal away to my parent's cabin in Vermont, thanks to their wise planning and generosity.

But seriously, Aerin Lauder's homes all possess a certain "move right in" quality. Her latest digs are no exception. Her newly furnished and renovated earthy, chic, simple but luxurious Aspen home contains sweeping views, a fairly neutral palette and sculptural wooden furniture classics by Hans Wegner and George Nakashima. It's the perfect balance of crisp but cozy. And the view? Breath taking. A freshly, fallen snow on a sunny morning with an expansive tree top mountain view? It doesn't get much better then that!!

I love Birch Trees. They line the drive way at my parent's Vermont home.

I'm certainly going to hit the slopes this year! I think my four year old son is ready to try skiing. I've taken too long of a break from this sport! Here's a bit of fashion inspiration.

Farm Fresh

I was searching for concept inspiration the other night, when I came across this house located in Sonoma, CA. It's a modern interpretation of a barn by Walker Warner Architects. 

I could handle a weekend or two here right now.

Beach Bungalow

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I'm having trouble focusing on work today. It's especially difficult after spending the weekend on the water south of Boston. It's amazing what a beautiful view and the smell of salt air can do for the soul. This is my favorite time of year. I can only dream of having a little bungalow on the water someday. I don't need a big house,  just one near the ocean. I love this fresh, crisp bungalow featured in Architectural Digest. The white walls, sculptural furniture choices and limited color palette are beautiful, notice all the amazing rug choices! I love each and every one! Happy Summer!! Happy Tuesday! Good luck getting back to work.
