Goop Market

As you know from reading this blog…I am obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow.  She can do no wrong in my book!!!  I was super excited to visit her Pop Up Shop in Amagansett, Goop Market.  The store was as cool and sleek as Gwynnie herself.  I highlighted some of my favoirte items below.  The dresses were so beautiful and the shoes and accessories incredible.  The skin care section was so impressive, highlighting Gwyneth’s own favorites.  Many of the Pop Up assortment is available online as well.  Honestly I could have moved right in!!!!!!

Weekend Real Estate Stalking

This Weekend’s Real Estate Stalking is an incredible house on the water in Greenwich.  It is absolutely breathtaking!!!!  Here is the write up with all the amazing details:

Designed by noted architects Austin Patterson Disston in 2005, this spectacularly sited shingle style home takes maximum advantage of the spectacular water views across a tranquil cove to Huckleberry Island and Long Island Sound.  This custom built home has been designed to provide a sanctuary for its residents, with stunning water views from every room in the house.   

An open, double height living room and dining room open to a wall of windows framing the spectacular view.  The luxurious cherry kitchen has a breakfast room that will make one linger over coffee while watching the egrets and herons  gracefully fish in the cove.  Also on the main floor, a master suite with private terrace and exposure on three sides overlooks the water and a charming orchard.   Two en suite guest bedrooms complete this floor.

The upper floor has two additional bedrooms as well as the last word in a home office, with commanding water views and a private balcony.  The lower level has garaging for 5 cars, as well as wonderful storage space. 

While this beautiful home induces a feeling of relaxation the moment one crosses the threshold, every mechanical element has been implemented with equal thought and sophistication.  The solar roof panels are extremely energy efficient, and all of the electrical, heating and air conditioning elements are located on the upper floors of the house.  

The intricately designed terraces have a nautical flair befitting their seaside setting. The lovely plantings add a beautiful splash of color running the length of the 310 foot long stone seawall.  Paddle a canoe or kayak over to uninhabited Huckleberry Island, of which you are an owner, or just relax on the terrace and watch the sun sparkle on the water as the hours pass.   

For more information on this listing contact Lee Prince.

War Paint

There is a new broadway show out by the creators of Grey Gardens (my absolute FAVORITE) called War Paint staring broadway greats Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole.  The story is based on the rivalry between Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden, two of the great beauty icons who shaped the cosmetics industry.  I am going to organize a night out with our sponsor Show Score in June.  Stay Tuned and Bon Weekend!!!!!

Weekend Real Estate Stalking

As I previously wrote, we met up with so many people during our vacation to Florida.  We were so lucky to be able to spend the day at the beach and dinner with my husband’s aunt and cousin.  Tom’s aunt’s house was so full of heirlooms that were once his grandparents.  It was so awesome to see a little bit of our family’s history.   I loved the decor of this charming Florida beach house.  It was so beautifully eclectic and every gorgeous item painstaking collected throughout the years.  Bon Weekend!!!
