| | It's been awhile so i figured I will try my best to sum up my month of June/July in 1 post. There were so many photos to choose from but here's a few just for now. After a successful trade show we drove to Montreal for my birthday. It's my 7th time (i think) and I got to visit all my favorite places! I discovered more new favorite spots which I'll post in the future. Montreal is one of my favorite cities to visit next to Paris. This year E surprised me with a membership to the French Alliance Boston library & social events. I promised myself I would perfect the language + perhaps one day I will retire in Paris ;)

One of my favorite things to do when I visit my home in nyc is check out new eats + desserts (of course!) After my business mtg, my friend Maria and Ginny ate at Le Pain Quotindien. The ricotta w/ mission fig, honey & black pepper tartines were out but instead we got organic black bean hummus w/ spicy tahini and gazpacho soup. Mrs Shagalove was so sweet to take the time to give a few recommendations which I will certainly check out in the future. Then we tried kyoto-fu for desserts. These ladies are talented. Ginny is from food + wine magazine (and a beautiful singer). Maria is a fashion designer. It was so good to see you both!

While in NY I had to visit the Renegade Fair in Brooklyn. Sunhee made a 1 day trip from Boston just to see lotta jansdotter but she didn't show up :( It was great meeting my friend Tara at ink + witt. Shortly afterwards we were caught drenched in the rain. I don't usually visit Brooklyn but I had an awesome time discovering new places. To name a few: Brooklyn industries, janelle, pinkyotto, pema and my absolute favorite! catbird. A must visit place for all your accessories and small finds. Then we trekked back to the city and waited out the rain in the strand bookstore. Endind the day at Republic + tisserie at union sq.

Just last week Jill from jhill designs organized a bloggers ball in Boston. All the bloggers were fashionable + pretty. I just love going to these because you get to see everyone's personal style. Grace, one of my favorite bloggers and perhaps every designer's favorite blogger was there. I invited my friends at pinker green design studio. Jill thanks for organizing such a great event! There were tons of cheese, wine and desserts to choose from. If anyone who is a designer is from boston and blogs, please email me for more info.

And last but not least...Saturday Jenny & Paul hosted a lobster luncheon which E and Helen + Norm's family won at church. You guys did a fab job. I highly recommend people at Bethany to win this auction. Here's a sneak peak of some of the photos. It was so good to catch up and enjoy the 2 bottles of wine! Helen it was so nice finally meeting you too.
