Le vie de B

This should be my bible...

When I think of April I think nice weather, open-toe shoes, lunch outside and ice coffee. Here are a few things that I'm looking forward too this month as the weather gets warmer..... The $1.99 daffodils at Trader Joe's -- always adds some bright color to my little kitchen The Brewster and Bloom Parade on Cape Cod - forever reminds me of April, when we were little my mom used to load us into the Bronco and we'd park outside of my grandmothers deli to watch the parade on her tailgate. My aunts and cousins would join us as we'd watch with turkey sandwichs in hand.

Open-toe shoes and anything peach.....

Cherry Garcia at Ben & Jerry's (except the B&J's in new york don't always take part in free cone day which i think is bullshit!)

Nautical sweaters as seen in Atlantic-Pacific

I love Gwyneth Paltrow's wardrobe in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Here's a little inspiration to live your own italian coast adventure..

Derek Lam Sunglasses, Grassland Gallop Skirt, Rosa Cha bikini, Mulberry Scarf, Anthropologie crochet blouse, Ardennes skirt, Lounge Lovers pant, Cote D'Azur, Kate Spade Avenue Quinn tote, JETS by Jessika Allen bikini, Tory Burch Blythe rolled sleeve shirt dress, DKNY tote, Nine West Lazer espadrille, Corso Como Doze espadrille, Anthropologe bikini, Almafi Coast

Imagine what it would be like living in one of those candy colored villas on the cost of Positano, Italy? A gorgeous view of the Mediterranean, terra-cotta floors, gauzy white curtains, private balconys, so beautiful.......

I was cleaning out my wallet today and I came across a business card from one of the vendors at a christmas fair in NYC - She Hit Pause Studios. What a beautiful booth they had at Union Square, I completely forgot about this little treasure. Matt Schwartz is the founder of the studio which has been described as "walking into memory." He distresses polariods of his friends and favorites places creating a vintage pin-up girl effect, such a great converstation piece!

I was walking through Chelsea Market the other day and saw the Robert Whitman display. His photography is beautiful! I posted some of my favorites above - you could explore his studio for hours.
