WEEKEND READING

Photo of the Louvre by my friend Kate. See where else I'm itching to travel here!

1. A funny (and smart) TED talk.

2. An affordable campaign desk. (Keep the brown wood or paint it!)

3. I just signed up for Netflix (#lateadopter) and can't wait to make my way through these recommendations. Any others you love?

4. I'll obviously be needing this striped quilted vest for fall/winter.

5. I'm pretty much drooling over my friend Katie's fashion week Pinterest board. Counting down the days!

6. Seriously digging the scarf print on this fall tote.

7. Sweatshirts and ruffles don't usually go hand in hand but this little number totally works.

8. It's me on Unabashedly Prep! I'm wearing this dress and these heels. Navy or nothing ;)

9. The obsession with all things scalloped continues.

10. Under $200?! This coat is almost too good to be true.


WEEKEND EYE CANDY


What. A. Week. I definitely took my own advice and ran myself ragged with work, doctor's appointments, and evenings with friends. Suffice it to say I was blown away by all the love for my little studio tour that went live on Tuesday. You guys even crashed their servers for a little bit... Amazing

After skydiving last weekend, I made more progress on my 101 in 1001 list by finally getting my eyes checked and buying glasses I don't actually hate. Oh and I'm three days into my goal to drink the recommended amount of water every day for a week — is it lame that I'm pretty sure this is the hardest goal on my list?

Today I'm meeting up with Eddy to run a mile in Central Park and hopefully live to tell the tale. I was a gymnast through high school, a cheerleader my freshman year in college, and I make it to the gym three times a week but I am not, not, not a runner. That said, I am very much a list-maker and hopefully the motivation of crossing another goal off my list will keep me putting one foot in front of the other. If you see a redhead collapsing in Central Park this afternoon, do stop and say hello.

 One more thing: this 101 in 1001 list wraps up at the end of September and I'm hard at work drafting my next list. I have about 80 tasks written down but I'd really love your input! If you or someone you know has written a similar list (bucket list, 25 before 25, 30 before 30, etc.), please email me or leave a link below. I'll take all the inspiration I can get!

Oh and join me on Pinterest for tons more eye candy every day of the week. Have a good one! xx

CHRISTOPHER BURCH'S SOUTHAMPTON HOME

Remember when Carly and I went out to Southampton with C. Wonder? (Pictures here, here, here, and here). We had the pleasure of eating lunch at founder Christopher Burch's home, which was just published in Architectural Digest. It was such a treat to take a virtual tour of the whole place having seen the grounds in person! No surprise here: my favorite room is the blue and pink master suite. How chic is that glossy white ceiling? Here are a few pieces to help you recreate the look chez vous
