Tuesday's Treasures

I literally stumbled upon this wonderful Stark carpet at the showroom today. It would be perfect in the dressing room attached to this bedroom!

Pretty dreamy.

Rug, Stark

Fabric, Lee Jofa

And something a little bolder. Fabric, Leff Jofa.

Loving Lilly.

Today, whilst at the D&D building I stumbled upon all of this Lilly Pulitzer goodness.

Isn't it happy?

Flower Power

Fresh flowers are such mood-lifters. Make a bouquet from fresh blooms in your garden, or splurge on some at the market and put together a pretty little arrangement.

I went to Miami recently, with hopes to escape the NYC heat for a better kind of heat. It turned out to be an incredible little adventure, but that is another story for another time! For now, I want to share some photos from the incredible Viceroy hotel, which was designed by the talented Kelly Wearstler.

Isn't it fun?

It has been months!!

And I haven't posted a word. Not a single word. Or photo.

And I'm sorry. I really am.

I'm not going to make any promises here, but I'm going to try share a bit more.

P.S. I know I said that after New Years, and you probably don't believe me now!!

But really, stay tuned. I have so many things to post and I've just been too busy seeing, doing and photographing them to get my act together here on T&T!

Hello Brooklyn!

After I ventured over to Brooklyn this weekend, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite spots with you folks. I'll start with the Bedford Cheese Shop. How charming is this exterior? It gets even better inside.
Bedford Cheese Shop

229 Bedford Avenue

Norbu Bijoux

232A Bedford Ave. at N 4th Street

Absolutely died over some of the baubles in this store. I will definitely be back. Amazing (huge) cocktail rings, cuff bracelets and an amazing assortment of stones, big & small. Super affordable.

The Rabbithole Bakery

352 Bedford Ave.

We tried the eggs benedict on an herbed biscuit, spiced bacon and hollandaise, the french soft style omelette with salmon, capers & chive creme fraiche, roasted tomato, carmelized onion & goat cheese (!!) & the lamb burger with yogurt feta sauce, cucumber mint ribbon salad and fries-- all very tasty, and the interior is flawless.

Ella Cafe

177 Bedford Avenue

Former Gramercy Tavern chef Oleg Lyaaskoronskiy opened Ella Cafe, a chic little organic restaurant overlooking Bedford Ave. Everything I tried was so fresh and delicious, but I really loved the artichoke salad with hearts of palm. Yum!!
