Here. This. Now.

The kids at beach camp, look like confetti from afar.

I'm busy packing my bags for a quick trip to NYC this weekend. But I wanted to share with you our beautiful beach today. Lately the weather has been perfect and our water has turned from it's normally dark, murky to a very clear, turquoise color. It's like having a vacation in the front yard.....

At Your Leisure......

Long before there were blogs, there were Zines.  Those, smudgy black and white,  self published, kinkos-copied, 'magazines' printed by kids all over the world in the 90s. Usually they were themed based and tended to lean toward bands, fashion and skateboarding ( at least the ones I knew of ) Eventually they became overshadowed by that other vehicles of self expression,The Blog. And long before there was  'beachbungalow8' there was an awesome (and still is) blog called 'happy mundane' which celebrates the beauty in mundanity - Soap bubbles in the sink, patterns found in the brick work of an overlooked apt bldg from the 60s...that sort of thing.









I followed this blog, the creation of Graphic Designer Jonathan Lo,  and lo and behold, I was inspired to start one of my own. Eventually I had the great opportunity to meet Jonathan and thanks to his fantastic social media skills and charming self, we became internet friends.

now this is 'eye candy'

Always being at the forefront of what's happening next on the horizon, Jonathan has revived the concept of the  Zine under the title 'At Your Liesure'. But comparing 'At Your Liesure' to the Zines of yore is a little like comparing The Walkman to the iPod. Old and Clunky meet Sleek and Honed.













This is a highly produced, beautiful, perfectly bound work of art showcasing Jonathan's abilities as a graphic artist, creative and art director. The publication, is rich in gorgeous photography printed on a matte finished paper that feels so good in the hand and covers a gamut including stories about creative folks in their studios (which are always great too peek into) fashion, and of course, fantastically curated creative interiors.

Issue number three of four is out now and you can purchase it at his website (which is a treat in itself)

My friend, neighbor and fellow blogger, Ann, of Peggy & Fritz, sent me this craig's list find today- *click*:

Neither of us have a need for them, nor have room to store them  ( I have 27 chairs at last count in my storage unit )  but somebody must.  Total deal: $350.00 for the pair. 

If I bought these I'd do something like, cover them in a melon pink silk or linen like this fabric:

but with white piping and a monogram maybe.

 Or perhaps a soft sea glass green with the white piping, or navy and white. So many possibilities. Somebody needs to scoop these orphans up and make them their own. here's the link.

A little lilly for your pad

A friend of mine, who has just moved into a large beach home from a smaller cottage, and is in need of a some more furniture, sent me over some tear sheets of the new Lilly Pulitzer furniture line. I  was a bit skeptical, I must admit. I've worn the bright colored Lilly frocks throughout my life as have my girls, love the look - but furnishing? hmmm. This could be a risky business move for them.

When I popped open the jpegs that she shared with me, I was not only pleasantly surprised but sort of impressed. My first thought was, 'these would work for great for shots of color in a room'.

I think, however, an entire room filled with these, could look juvenile. I love the punched up sherbets (although not with plaid wallpaper) but I'd want to use restraint, as this could go comical quickly.

 As I scrolled through, I realized that in keeping with the Palm Beach Lilly theme, they have included other classically inspired pieces. a little Chinese Chippendale here,  a touch of neo-classical there and even a tasseled, Hollywood regency vibe is represented.







by the way, check out how clever this idea is:

the below bench would look great at the end of a bed. I'm picturing a great China Seas fabric on that cushion.

You know what else is nice about this line, is that it's an accessible, seemingly ( I haven't seen them in person )  well made resource for knock-offs of all of those enviable 'found' pieces seen throughout the blog world and on digi mags ; those fortuitously found local thrift store or flea treasures that seem to be completely elusive to most  of us - Unless you're Meg or Eddie-equipped with an innate homing device for such treasures. If you're on the hunt, you'll spend years trying to track them down, if at all.











Both of us, singled out the O'Hara bar cart as a priority. Because you know, a house is not a home if it's not ready to entertain friends.

Some of the line can be found at Neiman's and Horchow but the entire collection  will be available at the Lilly Pulitzer, Palm Avenue life style shop in Raleigh, NC.  Road Trip anyone?
