Now vs. Later / Summer Dresses
Summer dresses are going for next-to-nothing right now, but why buy them, right? Seeing as we only have a month or so left of summer?

Accessible Decor: Clean & Simple Stripes
The keys to this easy, pretty look are navy and nature: keep things simple with a basic blue-and-white palette, add a few textured elements like a wooden window covering, soft throw, and woven screen that doubles as a headboard, and you've created a classic, lovely (and inexpensive) bedroom.
P.S. For retro-looking metal tables like the teal one pictured above, keep an eye out at places like Housing Works - sometimes they'll get influxes of metal tables and chairs from schools that have a great midcentury look and go for next-to-nothing. Even an old metal child's desk can make for a great side table with a little imagination.

This Weekend…
We did some fun stuff, sure (including things like Funfetti cupcakes and Sunday night BBQs), but because the next few weekends are pretty busy for us (weddings, travel, etc) the bulk of it was taken up with stuff we really had to get done...which ended up being the most fun stuff of all.
Like the drugstore trip to pick up all the pre-baby necessities (things like paper plates and cups so we don't have to worry about dishes for the first week or so, baby powder, outlet covers, and wipes). And everyone was just so...nice. I grew up in New York City, and let me tell you: big smiles and "Congratulations!" from total strangers everywhere you go is not the norm. It's lovely.
Penguin Hardcover Book Designs
Beautiful, beautiful...and such a great present for any reader.

The EcoMed Project
At last night's EcoMed Project fundraiser, hosted by my good friend Vanessa (in yellow) at the Hotel Chantelle.
Their mission:
To encourage preventative health education programs and promote sustainable medical care in harmony with the surrounding environment and culture of underserved populations.
Hello, Beautifuls
Vanessa was wearing those gold Seychelles that I've been drooling over at last night's fundraiser. (Just wanted to show you that they're just as cute in person as I suspected they'd be.)
