I am loving the new summer line of clothes coming from A-Thread. Their designs are simple, understated and tasteful. But what I love the most is that with every purchase, the company donates 5% to any non-profit organization of your choice. Looking good and doing good - works for me!

Even though I'm back at work, I'm still in vacation mode and I don't want it to end! Which is probably why latest Etsy treasury has a tropical theme. Here are a couple of items featured in my tropical treasury - to view the rest, click here.

The work of Australian photographer, Mable Tan is absolutely exquisite! Her photography shop, Happee Monkee, features brightly colored photos of beautiful city landscape, architecutre, food and nature. I also love her use of typography to express motivational messages. Her work is displayed as prints and photo cards, but I especially adore her iPhone cases pictured below...

I'm addicted to Sur La Table. It doesn't help that there's a 'Tab around the block from where I live and that they are extremely dog-friendly. Whenever, I'm walking Rocco, I find myself slipping in to buy some brightly colored item, like a garlic mincer, or an ice-cream scooper, or BBQ utensils - and I don't even own a grill! On my latest visit, I saw some great items that I thought would make great gift ideas for Father's Day. Check them out below...

While browsing around on Etsy, I was feeling patriotic - I must've also been in the mood for accessories because I kept "heart-ing" any earring with stars, stripes, red, whites or blue. Here's my little personal selection. You can view more earrings in my treasury by clicking here.

My Boden catalogue came in the mail and I am in love with their latest tops, tunics and summer dresses. Here are a couple of my choice favorites...

My past weekend was packed with picnics, baking cupcakes, engagment parties, that by the time Sunday rolled along the idea of lifting a finger to cook just...felt...miserable. Joe and I decided we would just go out and eat - but which restaurant to choose from? Momofuku? Roberta's? Asia Dog? Why not go to all of them! So off we went to the Flat Iron District to check out Madison Square Eats.
If you're in New York, and haven't checked it out - I urge you to GO! NOW! MSE is a food event next to Madison Square park with dozen of stands featuring some of the city's best food. They're open daily 11am to 9pm but you only have one week left before the food vendors go bye bye on June 1st. Here were some of our favorite bites below (more after the jump...)
