 My coffee table.  It makes me smile!
Acting like we’re dating.  Coffee with converse!

I call it Instam-tification for a reason.  The happy effect is instantly, you don’t need to worry about what to write and it feels a lot more personal and cool.  I’m addicted to this stuff.  It’s beyond simple you see something you love, take a picture and upload it.  Here are a few of my personal latest.
My vanity also makes me smile! ; )
Embarrassing my hubby by asking him to take a picture of me in a place we’ve been to too many times.
But it’s beautiful though!
This is going to be his reward one day though!  One for him and one for Lucas, our son.

To make my niece and nephew laugh hard!
To hit my gym as early in the mornings as possible, especially now that they have internet in the treadmills.
My Juicy Couture night driving glasses.  Never saw the need for glasses coming!
Chocolate! and my Jardins en Fleur alabaster candle holders.  I love everything John Dickinsonish…
The view from Bouchon at Columbus Circle is the most beautiful view of NYC.
Having brunch with friends cannot be beat.

Summer is my favorite season of all.  I grew up in a hot, hot island drinking lots of cold “morir sonando,” a mixture of milk with orange juice with chopped ice, while lying down on the cool and refreshing concrete polished floor.  That same floor I used as a slide when the cleaning ladies were washing it.  It was so much fun!  Here’s to good memories and long summer weekends!  How much I wish I had that floor again during these past super hot days. Thankfully we’ve had a few nicer, less hot days lately that have given us the chance for a breath of fresh air.  The weekend however seems to be bringing along another heat wave that would make me more hungry for a vacation getaway.  My hubby and I have been discussing how wonderful would be to hit the Amalfi Coast, unfortunately that seems too far from the true since we instead, need to be getting ready for our move to Sao Paulo, hopefully we’ll make to Punta Del Este for Christmas, fingers crossed!  Last week I had our home professionally photographed by Robert Levin and I’m extremely happy with the result.  I can’t wait to share it with you.
