Petal by Petal - Fringed Tulip

Tulips are one of those flowers that when I see them starting to crop through the soil after a long winter, I know that spring is near.  They follow suit to the golden yellow daffodils that is one of the first flowers of the season.  One of my new favorite varieties of the tulip is the Fringed Tulip one of my new favorite floral discoveries.  I love how their frilly edges give way to layers of petally goodness and this faint pink shade is impossibly pretty, don't you think?    

Postcards from Curaçao (Part II)

(The eerie deserted lighthouse on Klein Curaçao)

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! It finally felt like spring here in New York - everything is in bloom especially cherry blossoms (my favorite, photos to come).  I spent the weekend catching up, but I will be honest after such a relaxing vacation I am having a harder time getting back into the swing of things - I feel like I am still on island time. It is nice to be so relaxed but can oftentimes make for an unproductive weekend. Anyways...I am excited to share with you our last photos from Curaçao.  One of my favorite things about the trip (besides the engagement of course!) was our voyage to Klein Curaçao, or 'little Curaçao'.  This island is uninhabited, so I was immediately lured into the idea since I live on an island that is just the opposite.  There was nothing one the island except soft, silky sand, turquoise water, vibrant blue iguanas, an abandoned lighthouse and a ship wreck.  This little island was a two hour catamaran ride away atop a choppy Caribbean sea.  I felt at some points that I was on some sort of amusement ride - we sat in the front and lets just say at some points I thought I was underwater - we got soaked, but had a blast doing so.  We snorkeled with fish in every color of the rainbow and even saw sea turtles.  

La Vie en Rose

I can't believe that it is Friday already, this has flown week flew by, maybe because I feel just a bit behind from being away for a week?  Anyways, I came across this gorgeous editorial  featuring Karen Elson in the May issue of Vogue UK.  Right now, all I can do is dream about spring blooms, I am counting down the days until the cherry blossoms bloom in Central Park.  I realized while I was away in a tropical paradise just how much being among nature is good for the heart and soul.  Seeing the magnolia trees and forsythia bloom just makes me happy! I hope that everyone has a fabulous weekend!
