teaser

fabulous and faithful studio assistant lizzie just sent over this sneak peek of what will be our new website..i am very excited about the way it looks so far, and i cannot wait to see it finally launch..hoooooray!

rosewood maya {wow wow}

yesterday my sister in law claudi and i walked up to one of the most glamorous beach resorts i have ever seen..the rosewood mayakoba.

we had discovered it a few days earlier on one of our little beach strolls and gone up to check it out.

these pix do not lie. the place is absolutely magnificent, and the aesthetics are a perfect ten.

we made reservations to have dinner there tomorrow night to celebrate a family birthday.and the people who helped us could not have been nicer.

claudi even got a chance to speak to the chef who is also german (like claudi) and they had a big blab over a special vegetarian menu for the evening..to say the least i am very much looking forward to spending a bit of time over where the air is that much sweeter.

paradise {lost and found}

the family and i arrived in this mexican paradise on wednesday and we are having a heavenly time. the sun, the sea, the air, the relax..i am sure you get the picture. we are having a major cool down to say the least. we are staying at one of those all inclusive hotels..which i will admit has it's perks..but there are some unfortunate aspects to it as well..and it has me thinking back to one of my favorite books, dr. seuss' the sneetches...in which only the star bellied sneetches got to enjoy the good times with others of their kind at their weenie roasts on the beaches

here at the resort there are several "levels" of cool..if you have the leather bracelet you get to sit in a special roped off area on the beach..and a special room in the cafeteria..where you can enjoy the company of only those of your "class"..unfortunately i find their roped off world to be entirely undesirable, claustrophobic, and yucky..hey they're still in a cafeteria yo!!

oy with the mugs!

studiomate, friend and musey mentor erin gates just posted this chevron mug on her popular blog-elements of style. we made the mug for erin as a prezzie because she is the reason we ever did the chevron style in the first place..we resisted..she insisted! well people..the same with the mugs. for years they have been asking for mugs..no no we say! the mug is a h-u-g-e pain to make..oy with the shape..the smallness..and don't get me started on that stupid handle! trust me. so with that i challeneged her to post the mug and the very high price tag of $80 dollars..and a new star was born. that's all i'm gonna say...

the urban hound hotel

the other day after reading elements of style blog i discovered that a new hotel for dogs! opened in boston..the urban hound...and it is amazing!

look at the treats by the check in..can you stand this? is this how the modern do get's treated when mama and papa go away?

this place really is unbelievable, and it makes me want a dog today more than i wanted one yesterday.

i mean check out the amazing play area..more fun than at home..way!

super schwet! {the tree hotel}

a little while ago i came accross this mind boggling hotel in sweden

it is called the tree hotel..understandably

and it is in harads

will you take me there?

i need a vacation..and this place looks sublime. hmm the new yorker and the tree hotel..perfect.

oh yeah..now i remember..i am going to cancun! yeah!

high beachwear anxiety

so we're going to cancun on wednesday, and really i can't wait!

but like most women i do not really look forward to buying a new swimsuit, and i have been known to wear the same old favorite for years..and years!

this year i admitted to myself that i had to retire my tankini which by the way is probably THE most unflattering style ever as it always highlights one's muffin top!

so despite my aversion to rucheing and one piece suits i got this one from calvin..and i have to say i am thinking it's a keeper!
