How to introduce people

My darlings, want to hear a fascinating little etiquette tip? When you're introducing someone, you should always say their name first and their relationship to you second.Wrong: "This is my sister, Lucy."Right: "This is Lucy, my sister."That way, you spotlight the person--not their connection to you. It's a small thing, but it makes a lovely difference! I just learned this, but I'm doing it from

Have an adventurous weekend.

My sweets, what are your plans for this weekend? This afternoon I'm getting a massage! It was my Mother's Day present, and I'm finally going. I'm soooo excited. (Have you ever tried one of these?) Hope you guys have a great weekend, and here are a few fun posts from around the web...What a stunning Indian wedding. The details are mind-blowing.Pretty earrings.Grass globe illusion in Paris.Love

Finding happiness in Denmark

Have you ever been to Denmark? These beautiful vintage photos are from Denmark's national library. (Fun fact: Some of the photos were staged. The photographer wanted to give people a happy escape from the unemployment, despair and depression in the 1930s and 1940s.)P.S. Our England vacation photos are coming up tomorrow, excited to share...xo(Photos by Sven Turck, via My Modern Met)

Have a wonderful weekend.

My lovelies, what are your plans for the weekend? This evening, Alex, Toby and I will be flying across the Atlantic Ocean to this little village in Cornwall, to visit my grandmother, aunts, uncles, dad, brother, sister and cousins. We're sooooo excited to swim in the freezing cold water and eat Cornish pasties all day. :) Next week, I'm happy to have some amazing guest bloggers writing openly

Dancing

Isn't this photo of a dancing couple lovely? The print would look beautiful framed (or wrapped up with a red bow as a wedding present).

Puppies

Oh my goodness, this news story made my eyes pop: West Village pet shops have banned "drunken puppy buying." In the evenings, tipsy passersby stumble home from neighborhood bars, fall in love with puppies in the shop windows and drunkenly buy them...only to wake up the next morning and realize that they have a new puppy! Isn't that crazy?(Thanks, Sophie. Photo by Serena Solomon)

Adventures in babywearing

At our friend's cabin upstate, Toby loved the friendly grown-ups and wanted to be in the middle of the action at all times. But Alex and I could only chase him around and keep him from falling off the dock for so long, so the sling turned out to be a perfect way to keep him happy and immersed. Here, we're fishing with friends--it was the first time for both Toby and me! (We caught nothing:)

Daydreaming

This weekend, we joined some friends at a lakefront cabin, an hour north of Manhattan. Every evening, after Toby fell asleep, Alex and I would sit on the dock, drinking white wine (my favorite) and chatting about nothing in particular. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I want to beam myself back there right now. xoHow was your Fourth? Hope you had a good one.

Sexy eyebrows (yes, eyebrows)

Oh my goodness, how gorgeous are these dramatic eyebrows? When I saw these stunning photos of Oscar de la Renta's recent runway show, my jaw dropped. Makeup artists often insist that eyebrows are the most important part of your look, since they frame your face and can make your eyes look bigger and make your face look younger. Wouldn't you love to recreate these sexy bold brows for a night out?

The Children of the Russian Rich

German photographer Anna Skladmann's portrait series features children of the new Russian elite. "They live in a secluded world," says Skladmann, who spent years befriending and photographing the little ones. "Their parents are attempting to make up for the Soviet times--they only want the best for their children. They receive private language lessons; they go swimming or play tennis. The lives

Happy Fourth of July!

Motherhood Mondays: 8 confessions of a new dad

For today's second Motherhood Monday post, I'd love to talk about new fatherhood. On the three-hour drive home from the beach this weekend, Alex and I started talking about parenthood, and he revealed a few funny and surprising thoughts on our first year with a baby. Here were his eight revelations, in his own words...1. "I didn't bond with the baby right away."The experience of fatherhood is

Have a fun weekend!

My darlings, what are you up to this weekend? We're heading to East Hampton! I've never been before, but apparently it's beautiful and sceney and fun. We're staying with some friends in a house in the woods. I'm looking forward to grilling burgers and dipping my toes in the waves but not going in too far because I'm a wuss. :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and in the meantime, here are a few

First day of summer

Have a relaxing weekend.

My lovelies, what are you up to this weekend? Alex, Toby and I are planning to hit up the Brooklyn Flea tomorrow on the awesome new ferry that connects Manhattan and Brooklyn! We're also hoping to stop by our favorite beer garden for sausages and mustard, if Toby is in the mood to chill at a table. :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and in the meantime, here are a few great posts from around

Yves Saint Laurent’s textured gold Arty rings are absolute...

First Jewelmint order ever! :) :) I’m excited.

Newest love for summer: leather earrings. I love their colors, texture, large size—pretty much everything about them. You can basically create anything out of a square of leather and make them any color you want to boot, whether by using colored leather or slapping on some pretty paint.

I’m pretty drawn to the feather shaped earrings, as well as the tassels. I recently purchased a pair feather earrings from CyclonaDesigns and can’t wait for them to arrive!

Here are some of my favorites…

1. Cliolunia; 2. CyclonaDesigns; 3. EarthArtistry; 4. TheifandBandit;
5. FlagMountain; 6. TomGirl

Grab some and have fun, ladies!
