guys in gingham

many years ago my dear friend erica (of the e list) infamously sold me a gingham suit. to say the least my 5 foot 1 and a half inch frame looked beyond ridiculous amassed in nothing but navy gingham. ( i will add that the jacket also boasted an extremely unflatttering peplum style)
so to be honest i was surprised that upon noticing a slew of gingham and checks this spring at how in love i was with the look. i realize that this here is no gingham suit with the peplum..but i was pretty sure i could never look at it again without being sad.
in fact i ran right out and bought 2 shirts in the fabric for the hubs for daddy's day. he has yet to put them on!
i am even thinking i might need one.
will i be able to rock the look?
i am worried!

the e list comes to design salon

i am all excited because one of my very bestys, erica tannen of the e list is coming to the design salon may 25th to talk about how she has become the maven for things good and yummy along the shoreline of connecticut. more importantly, she will reveal how she has taken a $imple online newsletter, and turned it into a profitable biz..a neat trick!
what i love is that i always said that she was one of the most interesting, and creative business minds that i have ever known, and now she is proving it again by becoming one of the most innovative entrepreneurs of the new wild west that is the internet. come join us when we host erica at the fabulous offices of joss and main in boston.

Ames Hotel

Erica was staying at the ultra new and swanky Ames Hotel in the heart of Boston's financial district, and so after our visit to Front, we walked over. Although the place was hard to spot..no signage..you knew once you were inside that you were in a Morgans Hotel space. The hipster quotient is quite high at the Ames, and therefore slightly intimidating, but most of all I found the styling combination of ultra mod meets Ethan Allen quite curious.

a visit to FRONT

This week my darling friend erica (of the e list fame) came to visit me, and we had the best time running around town like girl touristas..even though we are both natives. after a yummy lunch at sportello..erica had some delish orecchiette..one of the first stops on our tour was with Michelle Yeeles from Bob's Your Uncle at her Ft. Point shop Front. BYU is a true local team of talent, and i always love stopping to look at all their new stuff. the yiddish luggage tags below are a particular fave.
