Onward

Another adventure begins this morning and then back to San Francisco shortly thereafter. The time at home has flown by and this trip in particular reminded me of all the things I so adore about life in New England. I can already feel that stillness that comes with the transition into Fall here and am envious of those that get to experience it. I snapped this photo the other evening as I strolled down the docks of the town marina. This boat was beautifully restored, her deck gleaming in the gentle evening sun.  With the memory of 9/11 yesterday and the new page turned in my adventure home, I thought it was the perfect visual. Thank You to all that made my time back east so enjoyable.

Street Smart

Love these multi-generational street style shots from Spring 2015 New York Fashion week. Billowy silhouettes, culottes, natural hair - all exuding an effortless ease and nice transitional pieces as we slip into cooler weather on the east coast. See more here.

Hard Hats with LKRE

Last Friday, I joined the Libby Kirwin Real Estate (LKRE) team for a tour of their latest collaboration with builder Behan Bros, Inc., and developer, Arch Street Development LLC. In the midst of construction, (hence the hard hats), The Carey School Residences will transform any notion one has had of Newport living. If you have been privy to Libby Kirwin's Renovation and Design Consulting business (LKRDC), you'll know that her team's eye is fresh, edgy, functional and always one step ahead. They have single-handily taken the stale air out of real estate. That approach is alive and well with this project. With a team comprised of a renowned builder, developer AND listing agency-meets-design consultancy, you'll want to keep tabs on this project. The structure was once an elementary school, and while some original architectural elements will be preserved, it is gracefully morphing into what will be 13 units of condominiums in prime Newport locale. Floor plans will range from a one bedroom unit to penthouse units with views of Newport Harbor and beyond. Finishes will be classic Newport but with an industrial sophistication. Get LKRE on speed dial for the latest on the listing.

Intrigue in Ibiza

It feels naughty to dream about vacation when you're ON vacation, but alas, I can't help but be intrigued by the above property. The home belongs to Luis Galliussi, and although I can't speak a lick of Spanish, by the looks of the online editorial, he lives my kind of lifestyle. See more in Architectural Digest España.
