It's been a long time since I've thought of the palatial golf courses and immaculate tennis courts of home; Princeton, NJ, not surprisingly, has a country club or two. But tomorrow's gorgeous shoe shot suddenly had me dreaming about tennis whites and afternoon cocktails, so this week is inspired by a chic celebration in the great outdoors! This colorful, rustic bouquet stored in a mason jar and perched on French armchair upholstered in gingham check plaid was the perfect combination of country club elegance and colorful organic elements to kick off this week!
As for our weekend: after the office happy hour on Friday afternoon, I fled to John's bar for lots of water and plenty of Chinese food (he recently started bartending at
Heaven's Dog again, so if you're craving a craft cocktail in San Francisco, now you know where to go!). Saturday was a deliciously lazy day at our computers, and after a big Sunday brunch, we took the most divine stroll on the beach! Armed with a Soviet-era Stanley thermos of Mexican spiced hot chocolate and our current reads, it was a perfect afternoon!

ReplyDeleteI am so envious of your dreamy sounding afternoon! I wish I had a car, or we had better transit to the smaller towns here... many are quite dreamy but inaccessible without your own wheels!

ReplyDeletehow appropriate! ed had to go to some business dinner at a country club in long island tonight. i dressed him appropriately in a polo shirt and blazer. he decided that's as preppy as he could go. trust me, i could have done way worse.
ReplyDeleteI wish 1) I could afford a pretty chair like this and 2) that my pup would not completely destroy 10 minutes after I brought it home
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Heaven's Dog yet, but I like Slanted Door...I'll have to go :)

ReplyDeleteI love the combination of the rustic mason jar with the intricate detailing on the chair. Beautiful.
