Designing and planning weddings, events, parties, spaces and fun of all varieties. Celebrating life in the hamptons, sometimes yearning for my home town of NYC. Loving art, design, travel, food, fashion, architecture, photography and all things beautiful. Hoping to spend more time on the beach, in my garden, driving with the top down, traipsing in any far-away land. Posting any little thing that catches my fancy and hope you'll come along for the ride.
