Chic and Cozy Cottage

It's a long holiday weekend and that means many people will be getting away.  Designer Stephen Shubel's chic fisherman's cottage in Sausalito looks like a chic yet cozy place spend some time off.  He describes it as being "like Marie Antoinette in a t-shirt...the past recreated for today."  He mixes French furniture with nautical touches that refer back to the cottage's seaside location.  Definitely makes me wish I was getting away again this weekend!

Under the Tuscan Sun

Big flakes of snow are coming down in New York but it's not getting me down because I'm dreaming of Italy.  When I first saw Castello di Vicarello in Vogue, I couldn't wait to check out their website for more photos.  It's even more gorgeous than I thought but also made me disappointed that I didn't win the lottery this week.  I would have bought this place and never looked back.   Luckily, it's a hotel and spa so at least I can still book a room.  Bon Weekend!

Just a little reminder to enjoy the sunshine this weekend!
