Playing Catch Up!!!

Last weekend I spent three lovely days in Montauk with my daughter and my boyfriend we lazed at the beach went sailing, watched the sun set and Celebrated at Ricks Crabby Cowboy where my friend through his annual Fourth of July party. When I returned it was a very busy week with work and castings. I am pulling things together for my next cross stitch project and can't wait until it is complete. Please stay tuned!!!

Phew!!!

It has been a while and I am so sorry I have had a whirlwind month my daughters birthday, graduation and my boyfriends birthday vistors in town etc! but now I am getting back down to business.

Jenna Lyons the creative director at J Crew has taken a staid stuffy catalog brand and turned into this fun preppy mix n match brand that has men women and children looking fabulous. I absolutely love all of her wedding dresses and I created a mini inspiration board with some of the pages from J. Crew's amazing catalog!

New York City Scenes!

Yesterday morning I was walking over to my friends house to do our morning walk to work when I stumbled on these fabulous sculptures at City Hall Park ( I love the fountain there!!!) it was really cool to see the modern sculptures amidst everything that is really old ie: the fountain Woolworth Building City Hall and the Brooklyn Bridge.

I'm off to Oxford!!!

Well not really but they were plenty of oxford shoes on my photo shoot!

Today I had the absolute pleasure of wearing the most divine outfits at work and have convinced myself that I will someday own the fabulous Givenchy Dress with the most amazing pleated detail I neeeed it in my life and the croc YSL shoes to!!! A girl can dream of course but let's not forget about the vintage champagne glasses that I scored!!

During my down time I started a new cross stitch in the beautiful peach that has been seen in on all the runways and in all the stores and I noticed that one of the fashion accessories matched perfectly!!!

And another one!!!

Part two in the product shoot and I think I'm doing a quite well if I do say so myself! I hunted and gathered stuff in my daughter's room and I feel they are good representation of "La Vie est Belle" for my daughter who enjoys relaxing in her room and reading and of course sneaking the occasional candy or two! Plus who doesn't love Hello Melody!
