sun - Our beach umbrella is back in stock! It is just as functional as it is beautiful and this under $200 version (the hardware is plastic, not metal) was very hard to find last Summer. I purchased it in June of last year and it ended up being sold out for the rest of the season!

make - This Grilled Vegetable Burrata Sandwich with Lemon Thyme Honey Mustard is so delicious you will want to eat it everyday for a week! It also works really well with goat cheese if you prefer that or have a lactose issue. Such a lovely lunch idea or dinner alternative to a burger! Service with crispy sweet potato fries.

local - The Darien Sport Shop is an incredible small business based here in Connecticut and they are now available to shop online! They have been family-owned and operated for over 75 years and I am so impressed with their assortment of Men’s, Women’s, and Children’s. I shared these sneakers for the boys on Instagram last week - the perfect summer shoe, easy to slip on and machine washable. My favorite part about the Sport Shop is their assortment of brands like Ulla Johnson, Sea, and Agolde. They often feature styles that are hard to find our sold out elsewhere like this pair of denim shorts (my absolute favorite for Summer). The best part of shopping small? The customer service! Don’t hesitate to call the store with any questions whether you’re local or shopping from afar.

make - Warm Chocolate Fudge Skillet Cake. I am not a baker but this dessert is easy to make and delicious! The little bit of coffee gives it a little kick and it will be a fan favorite if you’re entertaining friends or just spending a Friday night in. We had it with my favorite dairy-free vanilla ice-cream!

wear - I was hesitant to jump on the bicycle short trend but I came across this pair while we were in the Hampton last weekend and gave them a try. It’s hard to tell in the product photo but they are thicker than a traditional workout biker short and softer too. Just perfect if you ask me! I paired them with this blouse I have from Xirena.

topping rose house

I’ve always wanted to stay here and it did not disappoint! The grounds are beautiful, the rooms luxurious, and the food was incredible. Breakfast is included in your stay and I highly recommend taking advantage (see photograph below). If weather permits, enjoy it out on the wrap around porch of their 19th century mansion overlooking the perfectly manicured grounds. You will find yourself instantly transported! Topping Rose house is centrally located just steps from Bridgehampton town, a 20 minute bike ride to Sag Harbor, or a short drive to East Hampton, making it the perfect spot for a weekend away!

pierre’s Bridgehampton

This über cozy and romantic spot was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. The food is French American (one of my favorites…think lobster salad and frites) and incredible! Frank said it was one of the best dinners he’s had in years. I highly suggest making reservations as they are a local hot spot and very popular. We ate at 9pm and the place was still packed inside and out!

make - I consider myself a chicken salad connoisseur (self-proclaimed of course) and always on the hunt for a more interestingly tasty preparation of the classic. This Curry Chicken Salad Summer Rolls with Mango Chutney looks and sounds divine! It is fresh and light and I love that it doesn’t include any raw onions or peppers. Yum!

outdoor - Just ordered this bamboo food cover for outdoor dining. We always have a big bee problem here and this looked so sweet (and it’s $20).

blooms - Photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank just released her limited edition "Flowers Series" which includes over 60 flower portraits will be available for purchase exclusively on Claiborneswansonfrank.com and Moda Operandi beginning on May 13th and Chairish and Maisonette starting early June. The wild flower series is my favorite: chamomile and astrantia.

watch - Currently watching: I finished season one of Broadchurch on Netflix last week and thought it was excellent. It was definitely on the sad/depressing side as it is centered around the murder of a young boy in a small Scottish town but very well done. We also just finished zerozerozero on Amazon Prime and it was a 10/10!
