Bokeh

One of my favorite Flickr streams; Roger Lim never ceases to amaze me. His technique is simply perfect.

More flowers

Beautiful colors and lighting. By Yeeship.

Code Rings

Beautifully crafted Code Rings by Lulu Frost. Perfect for stacking and create your own "codes" like a birthdate, anniversary date, a lucky number or postal code.

Homemade Marshmallows

I love to try new recipes, especially if it is something I already love like marshmallows.

This recipe looks very straight-forward, not too many ingredients and I only need to buy a food thermometer to star making marshmallows!

It would make a cute gift, right? (If I don't eat them all)

A thousand flowers

Every market in New York City is an explosion of color; thousands of flowers fill the streets with vibrant hues and soft textures. I love spending time outdoors during the summer and see all the trees in bloom and flowers everywhere.

Never before seen photos of the Beatles

Photographer Mike Mitchell took these photos of the Beatles in 1964, when he was only 18 years old. Then, he put the pictures in a box in the basement and forgot all about them for 47 years. Aren't they amazing?

Harry Potter & Ice Cream

I'm so excited about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2! And I'm equally excited about these Harry Potter watercolor prints, made by of my favorite designers, Caroline Hadilakso. The idea behind these posters is to promote the magical world as travel destinations to non-magical people (muggles, I suppose :) You can buy the prints here.

Also, this Sunday is national Ice Cream Day, one of my favorite holidays (besides April Fool's Day).

Happy weekend!

Lulu & Shay

So pretty and dainty! I'm loving these delicate pieces by Lulu & Shay, especially the square stacked rings.

Perfect Summer Outifit

I've seen this trend all over the internet (and on the streets): shorts with half tucked shirts, and I must say I'm smitten! I love this girl's take on this summer trend: black leather and soft pink, with mismatched bracelets.

Irene Suchocki

One of my favorites photographers, Irene Suchocki, shot these beautiful images of New York icons. Aren't they mind blowing? See more here. You can buy prints of her fantastic work here.

You had me at vodka

Could it be any hotter? This last week the temperatures have been so high ( 80's and 90's), all I want to do is stay indoors, crank up the air and drink something refreshing. This Apple, Ginger and Cranberry Vodka Cocktail sounds good right about now.  I like the idea of serving it in a mason jar. Clever!

Skies

Bridgehampton

Flying Point Beach

North Sea Harbor

Palm Beach

Venetian Causeway

I'm in love with this. Photographer Eric Cahan takes pictures of colorful skies around the world. I must admit, at first, I thought these were watercolors. There's no better artist than nature, look at those amazing colors!

Current obssesion: Dachshunds

Totally obsessed with the cuteness of dachshunds. Very charming

Sweet! I found this amazing letterpress print showcasing the United States arranged as a heart. This print was made by Beauchamping and they carry a wonderful selection of prints. Be sure to check out their shop.

Happy Fourth of July!
