Bon Weekend

The weather in New York could not be more beautiful and it will continue all weekend. Hooray! The Park Avenue tulips above are standing tall and proud all along the Upper East Side.

While this dapper gentleman and most of the city were enjoying some time in the sun.

Many interior designers like Kathryn Ireland (above) were putting the final touches on their rooms for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. I was on hand to photograph the rooms this week and will posting them beginning on Thursday, May 9th. If you want to see it for yourself, it opens to the public on Tuesday, May 7th and will run through June 4th.

Bon Weekend!

Lighten Up

It was a gorgeous weekend here in New York but I was surprised how many people were still dressed for winter. It's definitely time to store the boots and tights and banish the black. I'm all about non-color colors like buff, nude and tan with a little pale pink thrown in for good measure. Hope this inspires you to lighten up too.

Springtime in New York

Sometimes I get annoyed with bloggers who post all their instragram photos on their blog since most of the time I've already seen them. I try not to do it myself but I know some of you don't follow me and therefore you are missing out on my photos of springtime in New York. It really is one of the most magical times when everything comes alive, even the residents. Enjoy!

Springtime in New York

Fabulous Forsythia

Flowering branches are the best mood lifter every spring. I went out looking for Quince or Cherry Blossoms last week but could only find Forsythia in my neighborhood. They turned out to be the perfect complement to my gallery wall and tablescape and were the best $18 I've ever spent.

Funny enough, the Off Duty section of the Wall Street Journal newspaper had a feature on hiding televisions in plain sight. Mine blends in with the gallery wall of art as best a big black rectangle can but for more ideas, you can read the article here.

Happy Spring!

XOXO,

Happy Spring!

Even though it's still freezing in New York, the calendar says it's spring. I hope it warms up soon so I can enjoy the park and most importantly, wear all my cute new shoes.

Happy Spring!
