Hi Everyone -
I hope you're all still with us after our
day of things ugly here in quaintland? It wasn't so bad and a little bit cathartic, but I have no plans to do it again anytime soon. I would definitely encourage
all of you to consider it because I'd love to see your dirty laundry so to speak. Sharing is caring ;). Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled posting.
Today is St. Patrick's Day and we live in a neighborhood with many people of Irish descent and will be having the customary corned beef and cabbage dinner tonight - can't wait. I have several friends from Ireland who never really had that meal until they arrived in the US, which is interesting. I also used to work on Fifth Avenue and have seen & heard the grand parade many times. All day long the beat of the bass drum - thump, thump, thump, thump!
In keeping with the green [+pink] theme, I saw an episode last week on
Martha Stewart about the 50th anniversary of
Lilly Pultizer. I don't have many pieces of Lilly's or come from the customary waspy background, but I embraced preppydom when I was in college and somewhat ever since. Scott is also quite preppy and
does come from the customary waspy background. Since green + pink is a classic color combination, I thought it would be fun to feature them, today.
Erin Go Bragh (Ireland Forever) and Lilly, too!
xo, Cindy
Kate Spade for Lilly : see the word lilly in green?
The Preppy Handbook is a classic.
The Sea of Grass is the perfect color combo.

Brooks Brothers shirt. I took this photo the other day, which is why it's not on white like the others.

Lacoste is my preference, but Scott likes Ralph Lauren polo shirts.

I don't know why I have this
Tipsy In Madras book as we don't drink. Kate Spade paisley journal.
PS I'm trying a soft focus setting on my camera and getting the white balance just right has been a challenge. The light is changing for the better as we transition into spring, but is also taking some adjustment. If I don't set the exposure just right, it is a real struggle for me in post-production as my hair tends to get very messy when I pull on it ;).
