butter poached lobster w/ fresh tomatoes & basil

with summer (almost) officially here, what better time to whip up this recipe?

PKS found it recently and whether it makes an appearance on a weeknight in the city (wishing we were at the beach) or on a weekend at the beach with friends, i can’t wait to see this on my plate.

it’s all yellow

last weekend’s wedding found my mother in navy bill blass and my sister in peony pink amsale so my original idea of this uber cool black and white patterned number wasn’t going to fly. [we used the occasion to take the all-important xmas card photo since saturday was the only time this year all 7 of us have been / will be together (super sad)… so we had to sort of, um, match]

still from BCBG, the yellow shelby dress was fabulous in that it was light, airy and easy. i’m big into matching jewelry when wearing color so i wore a pair of gorgeous yellow citrine earrings by our good friend, christina v, that PKS gave me as a gift when he left for business school. (the specific pair aren’t available anymore yet i know none of us would turn down the ones shown above!)

last but not least, i snagged a clare vivier clutch in animal print as i walked out the door. because, why not? among all that bright color, what’s a little animal print to top it off?

may flowers / part II

may flowers

my mother has always had a green thumb and, as a result, our childhood was spent tagging along beside her in one of her 2 gardens, or in the greenhouse, or in the kitchen where she’d cut and arrange stems in a myriad of vases.

elizabeth inherited that green thumb, working in flower shops her whole life and, eventually, choosing it as her career (or did it choose her?)

i may not possess their talents, but there is nothing better then watching them in tandem - cut, arrange, cut, create, cut, curate.

it’s pure magic.

oh happy day!

wednesday was epically blissful. after an all-nighter to wrap up things at work on my end, my sister, elizabeth, flew in early AM from denver to shop for her wedding dress.

to no one’s surprise, she looked gorgeous in everything and walked away w/ 3 favorites: oscar, oscar & monique… decisions, decisions. 

(not to mention lunch at fred’s sandwiched between the two appointments followed by some mother-led power shopping)

it was a wonderful day. the happiest day. a good start to the happiest of times.

a simple summer

around these parts we value ease: quick ideas, light clothes, lucid thoughts. effortless stuff…

that’s probably why summer is (easily) our favorite season.

white, bright and everything right

today is my last day of work before my ‘summer sabbatical’ and to say i’m feeling queasy about it would be a mild assessment. apologies for the paltry posts, i’ll get back to a regular rhythm soon.

in meantime, here are 3 ‘likes’ (loves, actually) from 3 favorite sources…
