My family and I have a new obsession….Myx Creative Kitchen in Greenwich, Ct. I recently attended a press dinner there, where I sampled many things from the menu and have returned almost everyday since. And I have to say, so have most of the bloggers that were there that night with me…it is THAT good or as Myx says…”food that you can feel good about”!!!! From salads (the Mykonos is my favorite) to flatbread pizzas (all gluten free) to protein bites (love the peanut butter chocolate ones) and the daily homemade soups (I had tomato today) you really must try it. The breakfast menu sounds amazing..that is next on my list…oh and did I mention that even though they are right off Greenwich Ave, they have their own parking in the back, so stopping by is a no brainer!!!!
Earlier this month I was invited to the Press Preview of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Every year I look forward to this incredible event to benefit the Kips Bay Girls and Boys Club. This year, the designers dontated their time and talent to transform seven floors of living space. The showhouse ends on the 31st so there are only a few more days to experiece this fabulousness!!! I have to say I loved every single room this year, but my absolutle favorite was the woman’s dressing room and bathroom by Marcia Tucker (see below).
Here is one of my favorite spaces..the dressing room by Marcia Tucker
I love the clothing she chose to display…
The hangning lights were so out of the box!!
Why don’t you treat yourself this Memorial Day. I have found some great things to help you kick off the summer and celebrate!!! Bon Weekend!!!
This blouse will become a staple all summer!!! I love it with white jeans and statement earrings!!
