In Bloom

Posted on April 10, 2013

chelsea2 At long last, spring. The cherry blossoms in the Tidal Basin reached peak bloom yesterday, signaling the start of outdoor happy hours and long, balmy days in the District. We embraced the warmer weather by taking a walk with Chelsea, a 4 year old Weimaraner, to Lafayette Park.

Chubbies Rock

Posted on March 18, 2013

We’re big fans of Chubbies, the super-soft stonewashed short shorts whose supporters spread the word about “thigh liberation” with the motto “Sky’s out, thighs out.” Available in a rainbow of vibrant brights and faded pastels, these are shorts you’ll want to live in all summer long. Chubbies was kind enough to send us a few to try–we picked the classic Palm Beach color combo of pink & green for our spring break trip to Florida. Grab a pair of your own and banish baggy cargo shorts for good.

Snaps From: Palm Beach

Posted on January 7, 2013

Over the holidays in Palm Beach, Florida, N&P: took Chester and Summer to the beach to play; admired the goods at Island Company, Stubbs & Wootton, Lilly Pulitzer, and Gentlemen’s Corner (especially the custom Palm Beach flasks from Smathers & Branson); chatted with the founder of Tkees at Rapunzel’s Closet; thrifted at The Church Mouse; coordinated our Chubbies with our needlepoint slippers (natch); cocktailed at HMF at The Breakers Hotel; and rang in the new year right poolside at a friend’s house. 2013 is off to a great start!

Sip and Dip

Posted on January 2, 2013

On Sunday, Van rounded up some of the Palm Beach crew for a picnic lunch by the pool. The afternoon celebrated the end of a great year with tea sandwiches, cool cucumber cocktails, and sunshine. While the refreshments and company were great, the real life of the party was Van’s puppy Chester, who moved from lap to lap with plenty of kisses for his new friends.
