Beach Brain

Maybe it’s because I’ve been cooped up in the city all summer or because I have three beach weekends in a row coming up, but regardless, I cannot get sun and surf off my brain.

Last but not least, this is how I want my family to look (when I have one). My poor (lucky??) future kids.

I wish there were more places like this (and for the ladies, too!). Focusing on locally handmade goods, this tailor/boutique/barber shop is a little taste of the old school. Their bespoke suits are made in Brooklyn the old-fashioned way, and they feature footwear and accessories from brands like Quoddy and Billy Kirk. The design of the space is impeccable, too.

Mr. Oma Vintage has been obsessed with this artist lately, and I can’t blame him. Eatock – who hails from the UK – does mostly conceptual sculpture and his website is chock full of amazing and witty pieces.

All I think about all day at work is rushing home so I can go to the pool for an early evening swim.

Very hot weekend so we decided to have a cold-food dinner party. Chilled avocado soup, chickpea salad, cole slaw, cold fried chicken, caprese salad, and ice cream with local peaches for dessert. Delightful.

Last night we had the privilege of popping into our friend Jenn and her husband Matt’s awesome mid-century furnishings shop Shag, for it’s one year anniversary! Congrats you guys. Here’s to many more years of success.

So I’ve been dreaming about wearing a swimcap to my wedding (it will be on the beach, after all), so my sister sent a link to this fashion photographer Hilary Walsh’s website with some cute examples. I was totally awed by the rest of Walsh’s work though, when I browsed the site. Such lovely images.

Many moons ago when I was a poor college student, I was fortunate enough to apprentice under and work for a Jewelry designer from Sweden, Annika Salame. She started out humbly in a charming boutique on Manhattan’s Upper East Side where she was the proprietor and sole designer. Her pieces were sculptural and organic, utilizing some incredible vintage beads. Albeit the company grew and now the line – By Boe – is sold all over the world. They relocated the storefront to an adorable space down on Prince St. in Soho. Thanks Annika for showing me the ways of the small business owner!
