COLLECTING MOMENTS
I saw a quote the other day (on Pinterest naturally) about collecting moments, not things. Here are a few moments I've been "collecting" recently... with plenty more to come on Nantucket this week!
A coffee date in the shade (where we shot our first His & Hers post this winter!) // Roses in our garden // Brunch with my sister and cousins at the Smith // Navy and pink in our backyard
Afternoon cuddles with Rory // The sweetest care package ever from Ashley // A picture from a happy customer whose daughter gave monogrammed picture frames as graduation gifts // An impromptu sushi date at the beach
The lake where we spent the weekend (I couldn't get enough of that view!) // New washi tape from a cute Etsy shop // A favorite Emma Graham dress I can't wait to wear on Nantucket this week // The sweetest little face you ever did see!
BACK IN STOCK!
Just a quick note to let you know that four of spring's most popular items (here and here) are now back in stock in the boutique! We don't expect they'll last long so shop to it!
SHOW YOUR STRIPES
I'm packing for Nantucket today (my first vacation since the boutique launched, eek!) and getting pretty excited for a few days with minimal emailing and maximum sunning. What's not to love about a holiday where you're encouraged to frolic outdoors, rock blue and white, and top it all off with fireworks?
WEEKEND WARDROBE
Michael and I are visiting friends from Bucknell this weekend and I'm definitely excited to spend a little time in the sun (with sunscreen, of course!). Here's my dream packing list for a weekend getaway...
(1) Saint James striped tee (2) Wooden wayfarers (3) Neutrogena sunscreen (my favorite!)
There's a lot of monogram action happening here! Definitely a summer year-round staple in my book ;) What are you all up to this weekend?

PARTY BRIGHTS
One of the things I miss most about college is always having a reason to dress up. Between date parties, formals, and plain old weekends, it wasn't hard to find an excuse for a new dress or pair of heels. But I know some of you are in the throes of wedding season so I suppose this one's for you!
J.Crew bangles in yellow and pink // Noir earrings // Parker wrap dress
I bought the turquoise cocktail ring a couple years ago and it's easily one of my favorite pieces I own. What events will you be getting dolled up for this summer?
DESK DU JOUR
I was instantly taken with this unique desk setup on a round dining table. Different? Yes. But just as practical? Totally. I love being able to spread out while I work and this seems like a great solution, particularly if you're using a laptop that can be moved in case you want to use the table for its intended purpose!
Design Darling acrylic tape dispenser // Kamoi Kakoshi washi tape // Container Store magazine holder
I thought I'd do a fun round-up of pretty things for your desktop. Notebooks, office supplies, pens and pencils... What's your workspace weakness?

KENNETH JAY LANE ON GILT GROUPE
Just a quick note to let you know that the Kenneth Jay Lane elephant bangle I shared on Instagram yesterday (as well as a bevy of other beautiful baubles!) is available again on Gilt Groupe. Sign up here and let me know what you find!
IN THE KITCHEN
I am the first to admit my inability to cook. I'm generally picky, I've been a vegetarian for four years, and I rely pretty heavily on my ability to make guacamole and/or toss a salad. But for someone who's decidedly pathetic in the kitchen, I sure do like to look at them...

Are you comfortable in the kitchen? I suppose it's not too late for me to pick up a few skills... In fact this past weekend Michael and I took a cooking lesson at Aux Délices (one of the tasks on my 101 in 1001 list!) thanks to a generous Christmas gift from my sister Reilly. We had a blast working on our knife skills and mastering a couple new dishes. You know what they say, practice makes perfect! ;)
