Sarabeth's

I have been fantasizing about breakfast at Sarabeth's every time I use the Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves...

and dreaming about the flourless chocolate cake after seeing it on Sarabeth's blog.

 

Sarabeth actually trained Meryl Streep for "Julie and Julia" and even served as her cooking hand double in "It's Complicated". Have you eaten at one of the many Sarabeth's locations?

The winner of the Lilly Pulitzer Silk Scarf is Sarah Brooke! Congratulations!

FOTOstrap

FOTOstrap is hands down the most fashionable camera strap I have come across. The camera straps are made in the USA of durable duck fabric and leather. I just love the gold hardware against the tobacco leather. The company also gives back by donating a portion of their proceeds to a non-profit organization called Fotolanthropy.

Here are some of my favorites...

 Navy

 Sweet Potato

Sky

  

Just when I thought this camera strap couldn't get any better, I saw you can personalize the leather shoulder pad. I am thinking either "ESW" (my new initials) or @dreams.ashore.

What's your favorite color strap?

Woodberry Kitchen's Snake Oil

Woodberry Kitchen's Snake Oil is a version of hot sauce made from organic fish peppers. The fish peppers are grown on a local farm here in Maryland. I gave JCW a bottle as a stocking stuffer and it sits on a tray in our kitchen.

 

The Talented Gallery Director's foodie husband was doing some research on Snake Oil so I accompanied them to dinner at Woodberry Kitchen.

 

Our meal was absolutely delicious in true Woodberry fashion.

 

We sampled ice cream for dessert...Brown Butter, Apple Cider and Paw Paw.

 

Special thanks to lovely couple for including me in their working dinner...I am available anytime as the hungry third wheel! xx 

 

Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway

I am springing forward with a giveaway from The Pink Crab for a  Lilly Pulitzer Sutton Scarf. I posted about this scarf last month because Pop is my favorite Spring print for 2013.

 

Nothing says “it′s time to celebrate” like a bunch of balloons! Whether we're hosting, attending, or crashing, we LOVE parties. “Pop” depicts the party for which you′re DYING to be on the guest list. Balloons, bubbly, and best friends–what more could a girl ask for? We′ve said it a million times, but we can′t say it enough: life′s a party, dress like it!

NRO

I want to introduce North River Outfitter as a new sponsor.

It's my absolute favorite store to visit when I am in Boston or Martha's Vineyard.

The stores are filled with treasures like these oysters belt buckles.

 

NRO in MV is connected to NRO Kids so it's the prefect place to pick up something for everyone in the family.

 

Snow Day

I am looking forward to relaxing with a latte and enjoying the snow...

and maybe even doing a little work around the house. When it comes to housework, music always makes me more productive.

Wishing everyone a safe snow storm. xx

Gucci 1953 Horsebit Loafer

I wasn't the only one that did some wedding shoe shopping while we were in NYC. Gucci's 1953 horsebit loafer is a strong contender in the wedding shoe race for JCW.

This classic style shoe is available in so many fun colors, who wouldn't want to kick up their heels and dance.

The men's blue leather is such a unique color and very eye catching.

Loafers always look better with a little wear and these crocodile beauties would be no exception.

I can see myself in the suede fuchsia...

...and suede cream.
