wish list: pool party setup

At New York International Gift Fair last year the freight guys lost our chairs. Shocking, huh? I did not want to use the ugly folding chairs provided by the Javits Center. I spotted a fabulous chair at the Fermob booth and pleaded my case. They were super super kind and let me borrow two of their cute yellow folding bistro chairs, and I fell in love with their products. I’m particularly fond of their Luxembourg Collection. The bar cart would be sooooo cool in their Verbena Green color outside next to our pool. The orange drink tray and silver pitcher (both from CB2) would be make the whole setup even more chic. Add in the crazy straws from For Your Party to keep it cheeky.

plum desires

plum necklace by Dinosaur Toes on ETSY; plum shoes by Lela Rose for Payless


Plum is such a rich color, isn’t it? It can be a little Dynasty when done wrong, but I like the modern take on these goodies with the frayed edges. The necklace reminds me of a crocus. The shoes would look fab with a suit, worn at a Junior League committee meeting … or equally chic with dark jeans and a black cbgb tshirt. And guess what … you can have both for under $55.

dreaming of champagne in Paris

I’ve been dreaming of Paris lately, which inspired this little montage.

The dress (which I could never wear because I’d be afraid to sit down in it, but love) is by Alice & Olivia. The gold J. Crew heels remind me of a pair I love to borrow from my Mom (she’s had them for more than 30 years). The triple coil earrings are from GirlProps.com. The champagne is Perrier-Jouet. And the Roost Golden Berry champagne flutes (which I LOVE and want sooooo bad) are available at Dreamy.

party on a plane

Mood lit cabins. Seriously. John and I flew Virgin America to San Francisco. Upon boarding the plane I felt the need for a wicked cocktail and suffered an “am I cool enough to be here” moment. 

After an initial shock (a fellow passenger tried to text me via the screen on the seat back in front of me) … loved it! If they had a nonstop from San Diego to New York I might betray my beloved JetBlue.

trend: violet


creme de violette – violet liqueur


Discovered this holiday season: Créme de Violette Violet Liqueur. Delicious straight up or in a chilly vodka martini. Almost too good to be true! I also like this wildflower wine made by J. Lohr, which tastes of violets. Violet is a pretty every day/regular flavor in France; when I was a kid my favorite gum flavors were violet, cassis, and licorice — none of which I have ever seen in the US. Why are there no violet candies in the US, yet we’re plagued with a plethora of disgusting watermelon flavored candies? I’m just sayin…
