A country weekend

Did you have a great weekend? I think I said on Friday that I was hoping this would be the last truly cold weekend, but it felt like the first warm one! We were in Pennsylvania visiting my family so I got lots of outdoor time.

Oh, and there was a visit to an alpaca farm! Just look at those faces. I might have to do a whole 'nother post dedicated to them.

Food

I'm all about meals with very few ingredients these days. Things you can just slap together but still pack a taste punch. So, I'm coveting this avocado, pea, and wasabi sandwich from The Little Things.

And this spicy citrus glazed shrimp from Passports and Pancakes has only five ingredients!!

Fashion/style

Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper spent an afternoon at the water's edge in Brooklyn and if I could half as stylish as her, I'd be happy. Those yellow pants!

Win $150 to spend at cute children's clothing shop, Olive Juice Kids from Design Mom.

Ok, I promise I'm not featuring this book because it was published by my workplace, but because it's totally awesome! Amy Azzarito has come out with Past & Present, based on her Design Sponge column that celebrates the history of the arts. You can stream her interview with Grace Bonney.

Thanks to Miss Moss I discovered the new National Geographic tumblr Found. Kind of excited to comb through the archives of photographs, some that have never been published before. You can even buy the photographs as prints to frame for your own home.


We're back in New York now, and what could be better than that? This sight takes my breath away every time we drive back in.

See you on Wednesday!

PS: this post should have been done an hour ago, but I keep getting distracted by JT on SNL. Gahhhh, hilarious.

PPS: I haven't watched The Bachelor yet. Don't give it away! Pretty please.
