roadtrip!

this past weekend my daughter and i took a all girls roadtrip with a couple of friends to the shoreline of connecticut.
i knew that my old friend erica of connecticut's e list would play a role in steering us in the right direction, but i had NO idea how famous she is in these parts, nor how great her suggestions would be!
i was also unaware that this neck of the woods was the longtime home to Ms. Katherine Hepburn who lived in a very exclusive enclave known as Fenwick...one definitely gets the feeling when walking around the 'hood that unless your ({blonde}yankee) family has been coming here for generations..you are not quite welcome.


but o..lord is it ever beautiful!  we stayed at the Saybrook Point Inn, where we had a lovely suite, that was quite comfy and not crazy expensive..(it was erica approved).

 shortly following our arrival, we got on our evening duds, and headed to the L&E restaurant in Chester  where we were treated to some delicious classic french cuisine..(and they made a fuss when we mentioned !erica!)
after dinner we walked up the street to the Norma Terris Theatre where they are currently showing a production of my dear friend marcy heisler's "great american mousical" directed by none other than the julie andrews!
in the morning, my friend Paris and I ventured over the causeway into fenwick and explored the beach that boasts 2 lighthouses and a dramatic, seemingly untouched landscape.  loved!


when we got back from the walk we checked out and drove northward up the coast to the wonderful town of mystic..where we discovered my pottery tucked into a wonderful shop called webster road that we just happened upon..

after doing a bit of browsing we strolled up the street to a divine farm/sea to table restaurant (erica approved) called the oyster club that is owned and operated by the delightful dan meiser.

needless to say, we were treated to a cozy and terrific repast.

we had so much fun..we can't wait to go back!

Docs



tonight we headed out to our new corner Dr Marten shoe store!
we got these for my daughter!  so adorbs.
i remember my old pair..there was nothing that didn't go with my docs..in fact
i loved pairing them with a floral baby doll dress, and gobs of silver jewelry.  i thought i was such a rocker. even though i wasn't.
it looks like the celebs have discovered them again..and it's sort of refreshing to see the ladies sporting something other than instruments of torture on their feet.

after years of seeing everymiddle schooler in the de rigeur Uggs (that are insane to wear in the Northeast...oh do not get me started!)..i am happy to have my daughter in a boot that will actually wear well...cause these suckers do NOT die.

lookee modeles are loving too!

Y Miley tambien!


si jessica alba (nunca takes them off! cause the go with everything!!))

to blucher..or not to blucher

after visiting London last summer i recognized that i had been bitten by an indescribable Oxford bug!

for some reason they seem just right..right now 

( & now that the election mayhem is over with, i can concentrate once again on important things like...shopping?))

the only prob is..

i just cannot seem to locate the precise model i crave

the one that is just so

because this is just the sort of thing that could go very "uh-oh"

and at over $500 a pop..this had better be the perfect pair!

(these are good)

more likely than not though..

i will probably just get another pair of boots this season!  hah.
