::: Saturday Songs | Sun + Shade :::

Luster — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 13:45:50 +0000

We’re having a crazy heatwave here in NYC and wouldn’t you know it since we decided that we should stay put in the city this weekend. (We’ve been away for every summer weekend so far.) It looks like we’ll end up escaping to the family pool up in CT and here’s what we’ll be listening to. Have a great weekend and stay cool! xo

Happy long weekend | Summer Mix

Luster — Fri, 27 May 2011 15:32:45 +0000

Is it true…summer is finally here? I thought we’d never get here considering how cold and rainy our spring was. It’s sunny and supposed to be 86 degrees here in NYC today. The hubby and I took today off and are heading out of town to the beach. Wishing everyone here in the US a fun, restful holiday weekend.

To make your weekend a little sweeter, I put together a summer mix for Casey at K.I.D Collective to kick off her summer mix series. Check it out here!

Have a great weekend! xo

It’s rather gloomy in New York this weekend, so I am playing some catch-up after a crazy couple of weeks. I’ll be checking out ICFF this weekend, stopping by the gallery to see my husband’s show again when it’s not so crowded, scoring some deals at the Dwell Studio sample sale, seeing a movie, and visiting some of my favorite LES health haunts to prep for my juice cleanse next week. Hope everyone has a great weekend! xo
