Two Sisters and the City

A sweet graduation gift with a lovely little note: "This is for you, Sarah. My imagination took me to a book I once read about two sisters who traveled to Europe and kept a journal. Perhaps this small gift could be a keeper of memories for you and your sister while in New York City this summer." I went out in search of this book my mothers friend made reference to in her note and to my luck, I found it! After stopping into a small independent bookstore on Madison in the Upper East Side, I explained as well as I could what Nancy wrote in my journal. The owner replied, "I think I may know exactly what she's talking about!" As the older woman stepped up onto the library ladder and back down, she came back and excitedly said, "this has to be it," and smiled at me. Later that night as I got ready for bed I curled up with the book and read it from beginning to end.

Confessions of a Kate Spade Addict




For those of you who do not know me, I am one of Kate Spade's biggest fans. The love affair began when I was a little girl. I use to sneak (although not so mysteriously, my mother would catch me every time I would snoop into her closet) into my mother's closet and put on her jewelry, shoes and purses. Long before a love for shoes, makeup or clothes, I fell in love with bags.

When I started learning about brands, the first one I fell in love with was a Kate Spade purse. It was love at first sight and from that day on when my mother started buying other Kate Spade things, they would somehow end up in my room and become mine. When I saw this adorable look book, I was inspired and of course I continue to look at it on weekly basis. It is fun and colorful, something every girl needs. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Mamma Mia





After an incredible performance of Mamma Mia at the Winter Garden Theater I got to meet and talk with the actors. All in all a great Saturday evening, except for being completely drenched by the sudden rain that ruined my locks. I loved the show so much I already got tickets for Jersey Boys, which I hear is sensational. I am beyond excited to see another show and post photos from that performance.
