That’s what people keep asking me. My sincerest apologies for the lack of posts in the past few months. What can I say? I will occasionally post on this site, but for everyday ideas, inspiration and things I’m swooning over, visit my Pinterest site!

Words to Live By
23 AugMy mom always had great quotes (thoughts, statements, mantras, etc.) to share with me when I was growing up. I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I started seeing graphic quotes pop up on Pinterest (yes, I’m obsessed). Here are some of my favorite “words to live by” right now…
Amen, Kate Spade.
Always makes life more fun!
Tough, but true.
I remind myself every day...
Sometimes a plan isn't always the best plan.
I wish more people lived like this.
Be flexible!
Ghandi
Good reminders.
Ugh, so true!

What I’m Loving on Pinterest…
18 MayHere is a peek at the things that get my heart racing on Pinterest right now…
Fishs Eddy
16 MayI’m totally obsessed with all things for the home – dishware, glassware, flatware, serving pieces, etc. One of my favorite finds is Fishs Eddy, a fabulous store and website based in New York. This weekend I dropped by their store in Union Square and couldn’t help myself – so many unnecessary purchases! Guess it’s a good thing I don’t live closer! If you’re ever looking for a gift, check out their site. So many clever ideas!
Derby!
10 May
This weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the 137th “Run for the Roses” at Churchill Downs. I’ve been to plenty of Derby parties over the years, but let me tell you this: the Derby is something to add to your bucket list. You’ve got to experience it in person, because unlike watching the event on television, the Derby isn’t just about the two-minute race. In fact, I couldn’t even see race (although, I did bet and win!). It’s about everything leading up to the Derby in Louisville – the people, the fashion, the food, the Mint Julep’s. It’s completely unbelievable.
So, I thought it would be fun to narrow down my top five Derby moments this year and share them. It was tough (and I’m sure I’ll change my mind tomorrow), but here they are:
5. Watching Salt-n-Pepa perform “Push It” at the Barnstable Brown Party.
4. Wearing a Fascinator (totally felt like a Royal Wedding attendee).
3. Venturing into the infield on Derby Day – holy insanity! Best people watching EVER.
2. Walking in the Chambord fashion show on Oaks Day.
1. Watching the horses warm up on the track with the sun rising over head.
