Martha's Vineyard Farm to Table


I grew up spending my summers on the Cape and look forward to returning to Wellfleet in July. But I am also going to be on the Vineyard in late August with one of my best friends and some of her pals. Fun! On my "to do" list is a Farm to Table Dinner at BEETLEBUNG FARM.

Exquisite Tuscan Wedding


I have a love affair with Italy - especially Tuscany. I have been fortunate enough to go a few times and can't wait until I can book another trip. I speak a little Italian and, when my schedule permits, I look forward to resuming my lessons via Skype. (The best way to learn from a native speaker.) So I DIED when I saw this stunning wedding in Tuscany. 


The beautiful images were take by JOSE VILLA and the superb styling was done by JOY THIGPEN.

Because I Love It


Can't you picture Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O or Aerin Lauder setting a table like this beauty? I love the stripes paired with white blooms and silver. Stunning!

Ina and Gwyneth


I love when a new issue of GP's Goop arrives in my inbox. This is one from the archives when she collaborated with my favorite chef - Ina Garten. Talk about a dynamic duo!

Gwyneth hard at work making Herbed Ricotta Bruschette. Find the recipe HERE

Fit For a Queen




I have so enjoyed the celebration across the pond for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. While we all loved seeing the outfits that Kate wore and the Queen's hats, I wanted to see the celebratory food! Here are some of my favorite images.
