  Storm King

"Widely celebrated as one of the world’s leading sculpture parks, Storm King Art Center has welcomed visitors from across the globe for fifty years. It is located only one hour north of New York City, in the lower Hudson Valley, where its pristine 500-acre landscape of fields, hills, and woodlands provides the setting for a collection of more than 100 carefully sited sculptures created by some of the most acclaimed artists of our time."

We spent last Sunday here.

the lunch bag + lunch bots

After a long search, I finally found THE lunch bags for 

Everett + Piper

This bag is insulated, has a nice long strap for wearing across shoulder

like a messenger or backpack

when hands are full + short handle for carrying in hand.

It has a nice mesh pocket on the outside back 

(not pictured)

+ 

also a waxy surface for easy cleaning

+

it's PVC-free, phthalate-free, + lead safe.

The colors + designs are fab.

Check out the

SoYoung site 

for lots of design choices + sizes.

The greatest thing about the small bag is

 a small ice pack

+ 

one small + one large rectangular 

(or 2 large or 2 small)

LUNCH BOTS

stainless food containers

stack perfectly.

So everything is upright.

These are great because they're 

dishwasher safe + seal nicely.

Find LUNCHBOTS 

here or at your local Whole Foods.

just do it

 I spent last weekend in NYC with

my good old friend, Joelle.
(check out her blog)

We had such an amazing time together as always.

I was so happy when we stumbled upon

PRUNE

in the East Village.

Blood, Bones & Butter was written by 

Gabrielle Hamilton, the owner.

 So small, so perfect.

The hostess + bartender could not have been nicer .

We cozied up to the bar and had

the most delicious appetizers:

 crabbiest crabcake...the best I've ever had.

 Shrimp, head + all...YUM.

Celery salad with a piece of toast with the
creamiest slice of blue cheese.

Oh the wine...I had the Rosé...crisp + dry just the way I love it.

The book is a must read.

Get to PRUNE if you can!
