my summer has been relaxing and busy at the same time. a glimpse of what it’s held so far: 

1 :: helping my sister-in-law with her 3/4 year old dance camp. there is nothing like cute girls decked out from head to toe in pink, pink and more frilly pink!

2 :: a little summer breakfast entertaining when you have lots of family in town for a visit [this was delicious]

3 :: numerous nyc trips

4 :: a “re”discovery of my paper obsession [on interviewer that i met with told me she would forever remember my GREEEN envelope-ha]

5 :: lots of on to go raspberry lemonade to assist in beating the 90 degree heat + humidity

6 :: wishing apple iphone was also served by verizon. but i am NOT willing to give up verizon’s service. despite what you might be told by the commercials on tv…verizons 3G network works better than at&t

7:: enjoying weekly pilates class without a guilt conscious telling me i have lots of more important things to be doing

8 :: finding that these wedges make my jaw literally hit the floor…ill admit i event tried them on. 

9 :: reminding myself that it is okay to take a chance – even go to the extreme and be a little “extra risky” you never know the loner envelope might take you a long way…

10 :: scouring design blogs, magazines, books, websites – using my design imagination to go ahead and make a home out of a really small space aka a nyc apartment

11 :: and last but not least, even a little suit shopping!! 

What have you been up to this summer?
